Corporate Chic: Go BOLD!

Marc Jacobs Fall 2009 Collection “Bold is Mode”

As children we are taught to express ourselves visually and verbally. Audacious statements and obscure drawings are what make us irresistibly adorable. But once we reach adulthood we tend to bottle up the need to be showy and tone down our most appealing trait; Style is one of them. Working in a field were neutrals are safe and anything other is just plan bizarre, makes you wonder if taking the risk will lead you to the top or end up with the- “out of compliance”. This autumn let’s embody the kid in us and Go Bold!. Fashion flair-devil; designer Marc Jacobs has no apprehension of letting his imagination run vigorously. His fall 2009 collection implies conspicuous color, eccentric prints and structure. It may seem unfeasible for the work-place but nothings unattainable; yet fitting if you dare. Below are some sample looks inspired by Mr. MJ himself, it’s up to you if you’re willing to take a walk on the Style side!

hidden gem

Sarah's latest design 'La Belle et La Bete'

beenalabella.com had the delight of conversing with Ohio Jewelry designer ‘Sarah Jess’, creator of ‘Navare Jewelry’. I met Sarah through the ‘Fashion Industry Network’. I was absolutely blown away by her vintage flair and enchanting aura. Her designs have such a magical touch, with a sprinkle of modern daintiness. While most look to the future, Sarah looks to the past for her epoch muse.
