Animal Instinct - No Jewelry Piece Is Too Wild!

I'm going to ask you close your eyes for a moment and think about what's in your wardrobe. Do you see a leopard print dress? Or happen to have snakeskin embossed stilettos? What about a patent python print clutch? We ladies have a certain animal instinct that we love to display in our wardrobe that we simply can't deny. We wear those pieces because it helps to create a very glamorous look and that's why I have made this genre a staple in my personal wardrobe!

Now listen, what if it could be different and instead of glamour go for a cool vibe? We all have seen those incredibly beautiful Cougars by Cartier. And remember when Naomi Watts took over that best dressed on the runway last year wearing that show stopping Bvlgari serpent that Sharon Stone is also photographed in this recent September Issue of Harper's Barzaar? With stars paving the way, jewelry designers such as John Hardy have been recently inspired to take on a new realm.

Dragons... Yes, John Hardy has taken on this spiritual animal for when the Year of the Dragon approached they created a collection to celebrate. Little did they realize how the world of fashion would embrace their intriguing designs! This style was never thought possible to the Vogue type of woman. Not even close.

Not only that, at our September Trunk Show they are revealing a highly anticipated new collection... The Macan (pronounced ma-chan). That's Balinese for Tiger symbolizing courage, strength and passion. Wearing one of these pieces will allow you to channel your fierce spirit. No one will see it coming!

Now if you're thinking you want to bring it down to earth a little, and without negotiating the sparkle, Roberto Coins' Animalier Collection introduces the Italian's vision of ferociously intuitive fashion driven jewelry style.

Close your eyes one more time and think of an animal you absolutely adore. Is it a wild untamed horse? Could it possibly be a beautiful aquatic creature? One thing's for certain, Roberto Coin has transformed it into a wearable head turning Gala piece! What more could a girl dream for? And what I wouldn't give to have one for myself...

Go on. I give you permission! Spice up your jewelry case and give yourself a reason to let that inner animal come out to play. Believe me, you'll get exactly what I'm talking about. #StyleByJanika
