Melody Ehsani: Fearless Lookbook.

Melody Ehsani, one of my favorite jewelry designers, is back at it again with a lookbook for her Fearless collection. Always a fan of gold, she highlights medallions, Rolex-like chain designs, crazy apes by the name of "trilla tha rilla", and Swarovski Crystal popping pistols. All right up her alley.

Melody Ehsani Lookbook.

So I was just on Melody Ehsani's website, which I frequent from time to time because she's awesome, and I saw she put out a lookbook for Holiday 2012. I clearly missed the memo, but take a look at it, and get familiar. She designs awesome accessories and has cool collabs like her snakeskin sneaker with Reebok and her adorable nail wraps with NCLA. I personally want everything.

Her jewelry is a wee bit on the pricey side, but still affordable for a working woman. She has lots of cool lazer cut jewelry, but recently she's had a gold fixation, creating bold statement ID necklaces, "diamond" rings, and a huge adorable championship ring.

Check out the lookbook below and visit her site for even more adorable pieces.

Let's Break Some Rules and Start Our Own Trends.

First of all, I'm not a big fan of "fashion rules." You know what I mean: no white after Labor Day, don't mix brown and black, and your shoes have to match your bag.

It's pretty evident that when times are changing, fashion is changing. And most of the old fashion rules just don't apply anymore. If you can make it look good, chances are, you should wear it.I have basically never followed rules when it comes to what I liked to wear. Ask my mom, she'll tell you. My mom still pretty much feels like I look like a hobo every time I see her.  But anyway...

I think wearing neon for F/W is pretty dope. I tend to like the neon more as a pop of color paired with darker bases, like black for instance. For some reason, it gives me a city feel.

Here are 10 neon items that I think could easily fit into your fall/ winter wardrobe:
1. Neon tuxedo stripe pants
2. Rhinestone earring
3. Nameless graphic sweater
4. Casio digital watch
5. Neon trim panel skirt
6. Neon touchscreen compatible gloves
7. Shattered heel-less platforms
8. Rhinestone bracelet
9. Georgie neon slingbacks
10. Studded cross blouse

Hardware Jewelry Collection by Bond Hardware.

Chain Lock: $99

You may have noticed that jewelry makers have been using less delicate materials lately.
And with the emergence of large statement necklaces, it's no wonder jewelry designers Bond Hardware took a trip to the hardware store.

They created a line of jewelry that uses only hardware like chain locks (pictured above), hitch rings, and window locks.
I especially love the chain lock and the hitch ring.

The jewelry seems like it would be pretty easy to DIY.
So if you enjoy the look, but not the price tag, why not create a piece of your own?
you've got to admit, this stuff looks good.

The rest of the collection is below:

Hitch Ring:  $66

Double Clip: $33

Window Lock (male): $55

Window Lock (female): $44
