Q: Do you think any of the fall shoe trends (clogs, over-the-knee boots) are work appropriate? A: Ooohh, that’s a good question. Well, I always caution that it depends on the type of industry you work in. If you’re a lawyer, definitely not. If you work in a creative field, and/or work in a more [...]

Q&A: Hottest Fall 2010 Accessories

25. August 2010

10 Comments

Q: You mentioned Fall 2010 fashion trends last week, what about accessories? A: I mentioned that clogs will be in this fall. Over-the-knee/thigh-high boots will still be around.

Q: Hi Violet, Do you follow any celebrity styles, or which celebrity’s style do you like best? A: I don’t really have one celebrity’s style I like.

Violet: Do you love all things sparkly, but don’t want to appear looking overdone? Answer: Well, what is your answer to that question? I know mine is ‘yes.’ Many jewelry pieces these days incorporate sparkle for special occasions, like weddings, but they’re not so practical for everyday wear. Enter: Objets d’Envy. I viewed the latest [...]
