In The Loupe...Red CarpetReviewby Varda SingerSpringtime lifts ourspirits with longer daysand warmer weather. It is also the timewhen our calendars become filled with celebratoryevents. Our hectic daily lives allow usjust enough time to get out of the houselooking somewhat put together. So to dressand accessorize for the occasional formalevent can be a bit overwhelming.Coco Chanel, Jackie O., Grace Kelly werejust a few of the classy and elegant womenof recent generations. Their combination ofintelligence, style and charisma was oftenmore compelling than their merely beingfashionable—or in fashion.The media, specifically the Oscars, is agreat vehicle for ideas on perfecting a lookfor an evening event. Half of the fun of theOscars is watching the stars walk the redcarpet in their designer gowns and jewelry.Most of us form our own best-dressed andworst dressed lists.There was sparkle and more sparkle atthe <strong>2010</strong> Oscars. This year was all aboutstatement bracelets. Single or stacked, theygave a new meaning to arm candy.Earrings and rings played an importantsupporting role on the red carpet as well.The earring focus was on a “less is more”look to complement the statement dress.Timeless, elegant and classic are the perfectwords to describe the look on the redcarpet.ICD strives to keep up to date on thelatest trends in accessorizing your look forboth casual and formal wear.
