Balsam's Style Pick: Dangerous Accessories & Snake Bracelets!!

Hey dolls ;)

You may have realized that I have been concentrating on accessories and jewels quite alot these days! So i have decided to do a 'Style Pick' post to show you guys how much i love dangerous accessories or jewels that make a statement!!...

I will feature one of my all time favorite type of jewels (specifically bracelets), and i'd love to see your responce :)

Firstly, Just tell me what you think of when you see the following?

Well i dont know about you but the pictures above instantly send an image of danger into my mind, and I love 'em!! ..

I have seen a few celebs wearing these

, such as:

Dita on Teese

Kim Kardashian

Oh, and i almost forgot!!

I actually fell in love with this type of bracelets when i saw one with one of my best friends, She bought a smilar bracelet from China, and it looked stunning!

I need to get a propper one for myself ! lol ..

what do you guys think? would you ever wear a snake bacelet?

Accessories & Jewels will always make you look fab!

So most of you know by now that I consider Kim Kardashian one of the biggest fashion icons for me, and I literally love every single outfit she wears <3 ..

As i have been going through the outfits that she has been wearing in the previous few day, starting from last week, I have realized that she creates a new fab look by wearing extremely simple clothings, but she completes the look and makes it fashionable by wearing an accessory or piece of jewelry that really makes a statement. So, today I thought it would be a great idea to learn from Kim kardashian and see how she transfers her outfits into a whole new level :)

In the above picture, I love what both sisters are wearing, and if we start looking at Kourtney's outfit, it is extremely simle, but the shoes that she chose to wear kinda added a more sophisticated look, along with the bag that she chose to go with the outfit. I have always believed that handbags bring a touch of fashion into the outfit, regardless of how ugly it is :p

Kim on the other hand also wore a really simple classic white shirt, with boyfriend jeans, and paired them with a normal louboutin black pumps. This look woudn't have looked as fab is she didnt add the Hermes belt, Balenciaga bag, and the gorgeous cowboy hat! .. I love the hat because it truly shows what the look is all about!

The look we have above, is also a really fab look, and the reason i love it is because it has a touch of vintage (by adding the high wasted shorts) and i am a huge fan of vintage fashion and high wasted things, i find them super glamorous! <3 ..

I love the way kim added sunglasses that go with the shirt that she is wearing, as well as the caged looking sky high heels that also added a huge touch of fashion into the outfit :).

Even in her gym clothes, kim adds a bit of glamour by wearing a clutch that looks glam!, and if she is not wearing a fab clutch, you will see her going to the gym with the classic Birkin bag!

The belt and the shoes of the outfit above are the highlight of the look, because they add a different colour to the white which makes them more attractive. I love the shoes (I am not sure which brand they are) but they look amaze!!

Belts are a great accessory for women out there to show off their waists, They also transfer the whole outfit into a whole new level.

As I have mentioned earlier, Kim Kardashian sometimes takes her Birkin bag with her to the gym, which makes the gym clothes look 180 degrees more fabulous!

On the other hand, here Kim also added a scarf, and an old school looking denim jacket, to make her gym clothes look way better!! along with the Hermes Birkin of course, and her shades!

This outfit basically speaks for itself, I am absolutely loving it and would kill for it <3 ..

The jumpsuit is extremely simple, but the striped black shoes added some complexion and shape into the look, as well as the colourful clutch that she is carrying.

And again, the scarf was added by Kim o her gym outfit, along with a hat and shades!

Best wishes, Tara.


1959 Prom Dress
- Sugar Skull Vintage (Etsy) $190
This is very SJP! Sweetheart neckline, beau(tulle)ful voluminous circle skirt and a pretty, plush blush colour. Also comes with card detailing the girl who wore this to her prom in 1959!




Bring on the ring bling! I couldn't choose just one, so here are three to choose from or perhaps wear them all at once for a little vintage decadence!

Deco-licious Pearl Vintage Recycled Ring
- Trashy Chic (Etsy) $26.95
Be a pearl girl with this stunning ring made from a vintage pearl earring.



Vintage 1950s Pink Cabochon Stone

Fly Away with Me Bridal/Evening Clutch
- Rejenerate (Etsy) $79
Made in Sydney / Upcycled Materials
Every part of this clutch makes me want it much! Okay, my grammar is slipping but I'll blame it on the beauty of the 'salvaged white satin and pink polka dot lining' with vintage bird brooch. Incredible!



Vintage Red Lacquered Fan

Be truly fancy, feminine and flirty with this striking vintage fan. You could stand and flutter this at countless soirees by all means or why not display the fan in your home for a little decorative flair.





Vintage Beaded Shawl
- Best Hand Knit (Etsy) $65
I've always adored the bejewelled and beaded shawls and capelets from the '20s era. This one adds a cascading, waterfall of beads over the shoulders and the peaked back is a work of art in itself.



Vintage Valentino Gold Petal Earrings

These pearl, petal shaped Valentino clip-on earrings are divine with their gold and diamante detailing.



Black Cinnamon Vegan Shoes - Charmone $179

Necklush - The Organic Way to Accessorize

Necklush Ultra, Natural with Dark Grey - Etsy $74

Every style conscious girl and guy will fall big time for the Necklush, part necklace, part scarf, part 'whatever you want it to be, it will be' accessory. The 'multiple, seamless loops' can be worn a plethora of ways to suit your style and creativity.

These über cool and original designs are created by style-savvy duo, Stephano Diaz and Troy Mattison Hicks and are handmade in Brooklyn. The Necklush is made from either cotton or organic cotton (all Necklushes featured in today's post are made with organic cotton). So now that your style and eco quota has been thoroughly fulfilled, let's take a look at the stellar selection of organic offerings!


Necklush, Creamy White with Print - Etsy $62

I adore the look and concept of the Necklush. The alluring colour range and versatility really allow for the individual to make it their own. You can make your Necklush look classic, simple and chic or you can take it to an edgier level and wear it in a more unique style.

The Necklush is the quintessential trans-seasonal piece, complimenting any summer, fall, winter or spring look perfectly! Wear tight and snugly around the neck when the weather gets chillier or wear the Necklush long during balmier days or evenings, when you just want a stunning accessory to offset your outfit. From blazers, winter coats, jumpers and cardigans to skimpy tanks, tees and cute dresses, your Necklush has the potential to look different each time you wear it!


Necklush - Natural With Inkdrop - Etsy $62

Inject a splash of colour into your wardrobe with this pretty inkdrop pattern featuring aqua, magenta and purple colours. Wearing a soft, creamy shade with specks of colour such as this one, close to the face does wonders for improving and brightening your complexion. Very flattering!



Necklush Natural with Black Print - Etsy $62

Black and white accessories will always be classics and this Necklush should be a wardrobe staple. Adorn over brightly coloured outfits or more neutral shades for a look that will always ooze individuality. Also available in a longer length, Necklush Ultra Natural With Black Print - Etsy $74



Cool Summer (misty plumb Zebra) - Etsy $42.

I adore this striking and rather tribal-esque design. Worn with a simple white or black tank, it would look sublime!



Necklush Ultra, Black with Silver Print - Etsy $74

The Ultra design features 'twice the amount of strands' compared to the 'other Necklush designs' so be sure to have one ready for autumn, winter and spring (and possibly even summer for us sun-starved Londoners). You know you can count on this black, silver flecked Necklush to carry you through any wardrobe and weather conundrum. A must-have!

Water Bottle
Say no to plastic water bottles and still stay hydrated when you’re out and about by taking your own water bottle in your bag. I’ve started using a glass bottle (not practical for everyone but I’ve had no spillages) because all reusable water bottles on the market appear to either have aluminium in them or are made in China (without fair trade certification and quality control). I’m reusing a pretty iced tea glass bottle at the moment but see what you can find.
