New Year's Eve.....The biggest fashion event of the year!

For the most part, most of us have an idea of what we want to wear to the many New Year's Eve events scheduled this week, but for those procrastinators this one's for you!

There are many questions that can arise......dress? pant? long? short? black? color? my, my, my......what should a girl do? and off course as a jewelry company, we must ask "how are you going to accessorize?"

First things first...let's establish that you should look for your body type! Okay that narrows down what you can wear and wear well....so what fashion trends and styles are out there?,

Every woman wants to feel beautiful and glamorous when they step out, if you're someone who loves attention, sequins are a great way of achieving that look. Whether it's in a sleek pant suit or a dress, there's something about sequins that can draw all eyes toward you. If you choose a flashy outfit, you really don't need much accessories or you can use jewelry that is muted.

Sequins are also a great alternative to wearing black....it can be paired with a great pair of earrings and / or a cuff with some semi-precious stones on it (semi precious stones are more muted but provides some "bling" as opposed to the "bling bling" of Swarovski crystal beads)....





For those who prefer the "traditional" LBD (little black dress)? There are many chic and feminine style,s designed by the like of Diane Von Furstenburg, BCBG, Michael Kors, and Calvin Klein just to name a few. All designers have amazing versions of the "LBD" so it's just a matter of which designer appeals to your style most. Remember fashion is relative, it's all about what you love!

For those who are familiar with darcy antonia jewelry & accessories know we've reached the point in this blog where I'm going to suggest accessories with a burst of color!......Yup, color is always great, no matter the season. As an accompaniment to a black dress, how about pink, orange, green or even crystal (also known as clear) to enhance the darkness of the gown....to view more accessory options visit us at http://www.darcyantonia.com/

How about something with color this New Year's......color is a great way to express your feelings; neons are hot this winter and would be a great change from the "norm" (whatever that is)! Whether a mini or a knee length cocktail dress, it's all up to you and the look you're going for!

Happy New Year!

Happy Holidays

Class is dismissed!

We've just completed our first session of our jewelry production and design class! How much fun was that!.....We had a great time and the students have gone away with a wealth of knowledge and expertise to build on........ The six week course was timed perfectly so the students would be completed just before Christmas and would have the option of giving handmade jewelry if so desired. A basic beading skill needed to make jewelry was learnt and each person was presented with their own tool kit. With a variety of glass, natural and semi precious beads used each week, the students left with beautiful jewelry that was ready to be worn!

It's amazing to see how the ladies grew in confidence and created different designs from one concept...... Individuals had their own ideas and the classes allowed them to express themselves and be in total creative control..... We enjoyed each other's company and were able to support and make suggestions to each other as a team....

Every week a different project was completed and we're proud of the results. We will be conducting another session of jewelry design and production I in early 2010 and will be continuing on with jewelry design and production II also in early 2010. We will advise as soon as the dates are finalized for the new classes.
