this looks just like...

This Macha Jewelry necklace of assorted pearls and "chains" in silver and gold is bold and breathtaking...

Macha

 And it looks a lot like "This Ol' Ball and Chain" by CocoVee, with white pearls and silver "chains."

Best Part: Our piece is a fraction of the price that Macha's is, but is equally enticing.

Fall Accessories Contest on Polyvore; Results a girl can count on

CocoVee was pleased to participate in our 1st contest on Polyvore, which involved our favorite season AND jewelry! Here's our entry:

 We focused our collection around the VALENTINO LACE AND CASHMERE SCARF, $1195 and its rich, wine-like colors; we also focused on gold, which is just everywhere right now - don't you just LOVE the DOLCE AND GABBANA ROSE CLIP EARRINGS and the LUCAS JACK GOLD HEART CUFF ?!!! The matching GRAY AND SUEDE boots and jacket are meant to be your all-winter-long staples; mix up SUEDE AND LEATHER for a TEXTURED LOOK - see the leather and suede belts? Both would look great, cinching the waist, with a slouchy, cozy winter sweater. Of course, our favorite piece is the very affordable 4 STRAND PEARL BRACELET WITH A BOW, that can be worn with every outfit, and it's only $19 !!!

There were 2, 360 entries and I would not like to have been the judge, because everyone's collections were so cute; could be because we can't get enough Fall Fashion. 

Loved 1st Place's choice of the GUCCI VANITY FLORAL PRINT SCARF, $420...

Scarves (as well as dark floral prints) are this season's wardrobe staple

...as well as an ALEXANDER MCQUEEN GOLD-TONE SWAROVSKI CRYSTAL 

BRACELET, $785 - so gorgeous!!!

Loved every part of "Autumn is coming" who scored 2nd Place; highlight - 

OSCAR DE LA RENTA BEADED CLIP EARRINGS, $345

Autumn is Coming

 

 

Though we did not win the contest, our focus piece - the VALENTINO SCARF - was part of 3rd Place's collection!!! Instead of grays, browns, and golds, they paired the rich burgundy color with a yellow-lime-green bag and matching 3-tone pumps, of eggplant, watermelon pink, and the same yellow-lime-green color - so fabulous!!!

Fall Fashion 2012

Fall 2012's Fashion Forecast, by CocoVee

THE COLOR OF THE SEASON IS RED - think of dark and strong reds, like burgundy

THE PANTS ARE BACK: high-waist lines and tailored trousers are very in

EMBELLISHED TOPS: bejeweled, sequined and embroidered; shop these detailed looks

 

PATTERN PLAY: playful prints are everywhere - try pairing opposites for a super chic look

IN THE CLUTCH: handbags and "envelope" clutches are very in and very useful; get lots

STAY WARM IN STYLE: feminine trench coats and sharp blazers will keep you comfy and cute

WRAP IT UP: whether bold or simple, scarves are everywhere, and can be the cherry on top of any look

GOLDEN SEASON: gold is everywhere; set aside your silver this season and polish up your gold

These golden animal rings were designed for Fall 2012, by Nach

BOOTIES AND KNEE-HIGHS: there is no in between this year; pair with slim pants or long trenchcoats; the lovely Ms. Miranda Kerr models suede and leather knee-highs for us

For those who choose to live "In Style," Fall can be an exhilarating time to turnover your wardrobe, break out your Coat (as in the one you wear all winter long), and preview what's ahead of us in the wonderful world of fashion.
