Sometimes, the designer bag that everyone seems to have just makes you yawn. I get it, I feel the same way too. Designer logos and recognizable color schemes aren't so important to me. Instead, I prefer a purse with personality, one that will score you style points and earn you insider credit.

That's why I rounded up all the bags that are bold enough to make you fall in love. These designs are worthy of your spring wishlist, and it's never too early to start taking notes.

You don't need me to tell you that everything looks different on a model than it does in real life. Over-the-knee boots are a biggie. On the catwalk, they look effortlessly stunning and easy to pull off, nonchalantly paired with a micro mini or a floating dress, cut up to the thigh. In real life, they're a little trickier to wear-they make a statement, conjure up images of our favorite Pretty Woman, and don't always agreee with the rest of our wardrobe. They are challenging, but that doesn't mean they're not worth a try and that they won't actually work with the right pieces, for everybody. Yes, every body type.
I must admitt, I am not a big fan of this kind of boots, but you are. Many of you asked me about how to wear them and where to find amazing pieces. So, I've made up a little wishlist with my favourite items at the moment.

Christmas is just around the corner and that means wearing Christmas Sweaters. We're all for dressing up in sparkly dresses and pretty skirts for holiday parties, but some fetes call for wearing those stereotypical sweaters.

Once considered to be just  an ugly outdated sweater, probaly worn by parents, aunts, uncles and family members of our Christmas' past, today this kind of sweater is in high demand by consumers. Entire holiday parties are created surrounding the idea of who can find the best vintage Christmas sweater with the most colorful, mixed pattern, potentially light-up the find, the better. Since consumers love the idea of wearing Christmas sweaters it should be no surprise that a mini industry has sprung up to serve this niche business.

I have searched through Osap and found 8 hilarious options, sure to meet all your holiday's sweater needs. Here they are in no specific order :)

Shopping for antique jewellery can be an exhilarating, yet trick journey. It's all about finding that magical piece which contains a rich history and beautiful craftsmanship. You get a double win when that masterpiece can be complemented with documents. If you are passionate about finding genuine antique stores from earlier periods, it's important to explore in stores in Europe.

What to expect from antique jewellery shopping?

You may be presented with an array of brands, so make sure you're in the know. Because stores nowadays are increasing their selection, knowing what vintage designer brand you like will help the selection process.

Expect the seller to be knowledgeable about the pieces they are selling. It's not unusual for a seller to know their antique jewellery inside out. For example, when you ask about art deco engagement rings-Kalmar Antiques specialists will be able to easily answer your question as they are knowledgeable about antiques jewelleries. This is a good sign they are passionate about authentic pieces. You will want to ask for as much information as possible considering the creation date, certificates/paperwork, grades of the diamonds/gemstones, return policies and more. It's also important that you get the seller to walk with you through the history behind the piece of jewellery. This way you get a first-hand glimpse into the value it carries.

Get ready for the salesperson to show you the designer's markings. Stores are keen to show potential customers this because it helps prove an antiques' authenticity. It therefore helps to get familiarised with various markings of designers you are interested in. The logo or writing of the designer can be featured on the inside or outside of the piece so it's good to have a thorough look. When you're in store make sure you tap into common sense and if  you notice any discrepancies, stay clear from making a purchase.
Want a reliable purchase? Go to consignment stores. Try to locate some consignment shops for vintage jewellery. Even though it may be more expensive you will rarely spot a fake in one.

Hopefully you have taken away some good tips from this article and put them into practice next time you are in an antique store. It can be tricky hunting down the piece you desire, but I can assure you the end result will be well worth it. So be patient and take extra care to find reputable stores that offer you a quality service.

"Simple is the new black" and I couldn't agree more. I love to keep my look basic with a few unexpected accents. Whether it be the hint of a new silhouette such as a peplum or cutout or an interesting color palette such as head-to-toe neutrals or brights, I like to think that the beauty is in the details. If you ask me, the best way to revamp an outfit is by adding a little flair. And when I say "flair" I mean accessories- the most important detail when it comes to putting together a cute outfit. I love piling on jewelery, especially statement necklaces. It's my favourite way to spruce up an otherwise simple outfit. From sparkly bibs to geometric collars, a decorative necklace is just what any fashionista should have in her closet.
