Reinvent it
Four tips to reinvent your minimalist jewelry game this fall by whowhatwear.com:
Mix your metals: Forget what your grandma told you. Mixing metals is actually a really chic alternative and shouldn’t be avoided. Warm and cool metals complement each other and look great when paired tastefully.
Make silver jewelry stand out: Wearing black with silver is a way to make silver pop. Try a tighter long-sleeve black top and wear a cuff over the sleeve. Not only will you add another style trick to your arsenal, but your jewelry will stand out.
Tuck your hair: For dainty earrings, tuck one side of your hair behind your ear while leaving the other side hanging loosely around your face. This asymmetrical alternative is easy, tells the world you pay attention to the little things and keeps your earring the center of attention.
Opt for nail art: There’s little that can complement a dainty ring better than stellar nail art can. Find inspiration from your favorite street-style stars and choose a neutral hue that will work with any ring you slide onto your pointer finger.

This sexy adult colouring-in calendar gets a little blue as people take their pencils to LINGERIE MODELS.
Thousands up and down the country could be opening an adult colouring-in book as a present this Christmas but this gift gives a whole new meaning to a festive stocking .
A British lingerie firm have created a calendar of illustrations from their boudoir underwear collections.
The Bluebella Adult Colouring-In Calendar 2016 features models in basques, suspenders and stockings which can all be coloured in.
Makers say each month contains a different model with delicate patterns singles and couples can enjoy filling in.
Adult colouring-in books have been a publishing phenomenon usually featuring animals, trees or gardens, made up from symmetrical intricate line drawings.
This book is decidedly more adult in tone and features illustrations of models in basques, suspenders and stockings.

The images were inspired by the firm’s collections so that customers can give suggestions for new colour schemes for the London-based lingerie company.
Emily Bendell, CEO of Bluebella , said: “We got the idea to do an adult colouring-in book because the current Bluebella collection contains a lot of fine lace work detailing and the intricate patterns looked very similar to some of the current colouring in books on the market.
“We are hoping that women will send in their ideas for new colour combinations for our lingerie from their colouring-in books.
“If we love the colours they could feature in our next season’s collection.”
The images for the calendar are taken from this year’s Autumn and Winter outfits and next year’s Spring and Summer collections.
The calendar is priced at £9.99.
This is not the first time sexiness and art – and Putin – have come together.
