Vintage style has never been more popular -the trend that took hold in the late 60′ and early 70’s and exploded in the 80’s (who can forget Molly Ringwald in her adorably styled vintage turnouts in the classic coming-of-age flick Pretty In Pink?) has reached critical mass. Standout shows like MadMen remind us of the polished effect vintage jewelry can give, sparking even simple dresses and suits with a touch of panache. Celebrities embrace the vintage vibe as well, regularly turning up at A-list events decked out in stunning one-of-a kind gowns.

Even a touch of vintage style goes a long way. Classic clip-on earrings, whether originals from back in the day, or newer renditions, give a pulled-together look that focuses attention on the face and perfectly complements dressed up effects. The Rachel Leigh Edith’s Clip-ons and Vintage Collection Cosmopolitan Earrings are subtle statements with a shimmer of rhinestones, a beautiful way to light up a look.
The Alexis Bittar Retro Bracelet could have come straight from grandma’s jewelry box, a chunky 40’s effect in gleaming goldtone that adds a hit of shine to tailored suits in menswear -inspired fabrics like tweeds. And nothing screams retro chic like a fabulous brooch. These collectible pieces can be worn almost anywhere, whether one bold piece perched on a shoulder or hat, or a collection marching across a lapel in a sly update of ladylike style. The RJ Graziano Crystal Burst Pin looks like it was lifted directly from the Madmen wardrobe department. It’s spiky starburst setting recalls space-race era modernism, a dynamic piece that would shine brightly on dark wool coats all through the dark days of winter.
Try adding a chic retro or retro-inspired jewelry piece to you looks. Even added to simple boyfriend blazer/slouchy tee/ distressed denim turnouts, they add a hint of personality and spontaneous charm!
Love it! Alexis Bittar is always amazing
