I N S P I R E D B Y D S Q U A R E D 2 | Tribute Review

And onto the final Tribute of the season, another brand new one, it's DSquared2! Really going in blind with this one because it's not a brand I'm familiar with at all. I'll admit from the start, that based on the advertising it doesn't really look like my style at all, and actually the vibes are a little Autumn/Winter with the red checks?! Let's get in and see the whole collection:

For sure, this one isn't my favourite of this seasons stores. The floors seem a bit disjointed with all different themes and none of them are particularly standing out to me to fit my style. So this one will be on the brief side - I also didn't see a lot of dolls wearing the pieces, so maybe others are feeling the same?! Accessories wise, there are quite a few options. There are quite a few pairs of shoes. The Pink Cowboy Boots are a fun idea, I just don't love the fit of them on the doll. The Flannel Boots are also a fun idea, these have a nice fit and I think these could be a popular Autumnal choice. There aren't so many bags on offer but I really love the Pink Heart Purse, such a cute bag and I love the design and colour a lot. There are also quite a couple of hats and pairs of socks in this release too, and some jewellery items. I picked up the DSquared2 Choker which is a minimalistic piece in gold which I think I'll get good wear from. Now onto the clothing. On the first floor the outerwear pieces definitely stand out, I really like the look of the Shearling Vest and Fur Lined Coat, these look like great pieces for the upcoming Autumn season. The second floor has more high-school/school-girl vibes. While it's not something I would likely wear, I do like the look of the Argyle Sweater Dress, super sweet and I love the colours. The design with the draped sweater over the shoulders is also really nice. The final floor is a lot darker with a lot of black coloured pieces. The Leather Pants look like a good pair of trousers, I like all the detail on them a lot and they fit the doll nicely. I also like the look of the Beaded Tank Top, my only complaint is the white trim on the neckline and sleeves, it would have looked so much better in a darker complementary colour. But I'm still going to give this one a go because the beading detail is super pretty.

First up is harpie who wears both the Mesh Bedazzled Dress and the White Ring Sandals. The dress layers very nicely with all of the silvers and details on the other clothing pieces and I think the accessories added are perfect complements to the outfit, really looks amazing and I'm especially loving the gloves!

And then we have Bianca.Vos who also wears the Mesh Bedazzled Dress, with the addition of the DSquared Belt. The belt looks great here underneath the dress, I think the trousers are a great pairing for both of these items but work especially well with the style of the belt. The dress pops well against the dark of the trousers and the sheen of the grey top, think this is such a fun styling idea =)

I N S P I R E D B Y J A C Q U E M U S | Tribute Review

Next Tribute up, the fourth the season, and it's another new one, finally Jacquemus has been brought to the Plaza! This is super exciting and I'm sure something that many people are happy about - it's such a popular well-loved brand, and we've had a few Inspired pieces before, but a whole store is next level^ From the advertising I'm excited about it, it looks fun and colourful with some nice designs, let's get into the store and see the whole collection:

As with the other releases, there are 3 floors and in this one a total of 21 looks with a few male choices and several pieces available for both male and female dolls. I have to say, at first I was a bit disappointed because it wasn't really looking how I was envisaging a Jacquemus collection, but with hindsight I am happy with this collection, it's a really good addition to the Tribute season. First up the accessories. There are 6 pairs of shoes on offer and the really do have a good range of styles and designs. The Zebra Mules are such a fun pair, love the print and little pink on the sole combined, I really love a mule style of shoes and we haven't seen much of this in the Plaza lately. The pairs that really caught my attention are the Creamy Strappy Heels, a fabulous neutral Summer heeled sandal, and the Denim Sling Backs which have such a cute low chunky heel and I also really enjoy a slingback style for Summer. The release has so many bags, a total of 10 to choose from! The Le Bambinou Purse comes in 3 colours which are Cherry, Black and Green which I think are really nice options to have to choose between with both classic and bold colours, I'm definitely torn between the Cherry and the Green! The design is a classic one, so it will be a popular piece I'm sure. Speaking of green, I love the Chartreuse Bag, it has a great green colour but also a super classic design with great structure. Another classic style is the Briefcase, it's simple in black but I love the smaller size than a typical briefcase would be, I think this makes it really versatile and is a solid black-bag option for a collection. The last piece to mention is the Woven Bag, I love this for the neutral colour but also the thick weave design. It looks like such a versatile piece and I think is a great Spring/Summer option, I'm really excited to style this one. There are some other accessories pieces as well, and the Giant Straw Hat stands out for sure, it's such a recognisable Jacquemus piece! While it's not so much for me, I can see it being popular. And there are jewellery pieces as well. I was definitely drawn in by the Long Flower Earring, love the floral feminine vibes this has and also been loving seeing it styled so far, it looks great. For something a little less long, the Circle Square Earrings are a nice option, the mismatching is cute and I think these look super subtle but classy. The last piece to mention in this category is the Jacquemus Purse Necklace, I love a more subtle design for necklaces so they work in a lot of outfits and this really ticks all the boxes for me, I love this piece so much =)

Now onto the clothing which I'll go through by floor. The first floor is a mix of neutrals with bolds. With those bright colours you can choose the Green Suede Top and Shorts set, I love this colour and the suede texture really looks great, I just don't love the fit of them on my doll, but I'm a little tempted by the top to give it a go. If you prefer red, then there's plenty of choices for you. The Red Off-the-shoulder Sweater is a great mix of styles, I really like the slouched design of this piece. Or there is the very cute Red Puffy Sleeve Top which I just think is adorable, it's allll about those sleeves! I'm just a little on the fence about this as I'm not sure how versatile it might be. The Enbroidered Flower Shirt is a great piece if you prefer your colours more muted, this has a fantastic fit on the doll and a great design. Love the print on this short sleeved option, which isn't something we have a lot of in the Plaza. Of course, I'm a big fan of the neutrals on this floor. The Leather Moto Jacket really stood out to me immediately, gotta love a new leather jacket, and I feel like it's been a while since we've had something like this, they definitely used to be super popular in releases. I love the muted tone to the colour with this one along with the oversized fit. The White Tie Top is classic Jacquemus to me, super minimal but stylish and I've seen several dolls already wearing it. The Highwasited Slacks also stand out to me, I'm a little on the fence about them as the oversized look isn't suiting my doll quite how I like, but they look great - only thing is the belt is attached to them which may be a deciding factor on these. The second floor is all about the neutrals and beige tones, this I really love! I'm just going to go through this one left to right. The Rattan Top looks fab, very French riviera, I can already think of a few cute looks for this one. As soon as I saw the Cream Long Coat I knew that I had to have it, love the shape and fit of this and the colour is beautiful. The wide neckline is fabulous and the slight oversizing is just perfect. Next to it is another coat I had to get immediately, the Cheetah Coat which is such a cute little cropped piece with a boxy fit. It's been a bit of a drought in the Plaza for animal print and I'm liking this comeback! This coat fits really nicely and I love it on my doll. Another jacket, the Cream Crop Top is a big winner in my books, love this piece a lot! It's a cropped piece, fitted in the body then oversized in the sleeves, and in a neutral colour with a white trim, I think the combination is just perfect^ The last piece to mention on this floor is the Fringe Top, super cute and super Jacquemus, a perfect fit for those fringed bags we already have! It's a simple piece, but the neutral colour gives a versatility. The final floor is a little more bright with the neutrals, it's more about the whites. For me, this is the floor I like the least, I feel like there's a lot going on with different volumes and patterns and it's a bit much. The Polkadot Mini Dress is quite cute, but not really the sort of thing I would wear very much. The Silver Skirt with it's mix of purple and metallic is quite an interesting piece, I'm a little tempted but really have no firm ideas on how to style it yet.

F E A T U R E S

First up is Brevis who wears the Leather Moto Jacket, Highwasited Slack and Briefcase in this very Scandi-chic look, I really love the relaxed vibes this jacket adds to any styling! The contrasting colours work really nicely, the muted tone to the jacket is great against the trousers, I'm all for these combinations^ Love the layering of the shirt and sweater plus the chunky belt, it's great against the black sandals.

Next up in a lighter look is fraternite who wears the White Tie Top and the Long Flower Earring(s) another super fun one that gives me different Scandi vibes too. I love the layering with the top, the sheer piece beneath looks seamless, and the trousers add nice subtle detailing with the waist design. Love the little purple touches in the look, the accessories really pop nicely in this one =) 

And the final feature comes from BeatriceFashion who styles the Woven Bag - honestly this look just is so Jacquemus that I thought a few items must have been from the store, but no, it's great! These nude toned clothes are perfect against the bag, the shade is just a little lighter so the bag pops really nicely. Love the hat accessorising in this one, really the perfect accessory pair for both the bag and for Jacquemus^

S T Y L I N G S

Now for my looks. First up, the Enbroidered Flower Shirt, Woven Bag and Cream Strappy Heels which are all pieces I really like individually but think they look fab together. The shirt was an absolute must to pair with these trousers, the reds are perfect together and I think the lighter colours in the shirt really make the trousers seem lighter for a Summer styling. I kept the rest of the look light with the lighter accessories, and I think the woven style has such natural Summer vibes anyway, it's perfect here. For the second look I've styled the Cream Crop Top, which I've not seen anyone else wear yet. I really liked the white trim so wanted to use that in the look and I'm really happy with the final styling, which took a while to get to as I tried out a lot of accessories options with this one. Really love these trousers with the piece, but finding the perfect bag was tough, nothing was quite the right colour to match the yellow, this one is an ok choice but I think the perfect option is still out there! And the final look uses both the Jacquemus Purse Necklace and Cheetah Coat - now I did think about going all out with the cheetah, but I toned it down a little although these trousers are a subtle animal print. I love these boots with the look, they're a perfect colour match with the base of the jacket and balance out the black well. And again, wanted to find an animal print bag but nothing was right, I'm actually quite loving this choice mixing the black and beige together =)

It's Subcouture weekend! I was excited to see that this would be coming, however the release for me is  quite disappointing - nothing like what Subcouture has represented in the Plaza in the past. To me it's a little more reminiscent of Tingeling Halloween Couture releases. I did pick up a couple of accessories to style, but first sharing some looks with what is clearly the most popular piece, the Green Sheer Dress. First up here is Sarah_1980 who also includes the Kriester Sunglasses in the look. The dress is layered with a top strap and some denim pants, and I think the green against the denim is a nice look. I particularly love the boots in the look, such fun Western-style vibes added and I think they look great with the layering of the hem of the dress.

Next up is Millaxx, opting to layer up with more greens, this specific shade is a perfect match with the dress and I think they work well enough there that the dress still has all the focus. The accessories are kept neutral, I think these shades of brown are super complementary with the green and really bring lighter vibes to the dress versus how it's highlighted in the store.

And the final feature comes from harpie who layers up on top and really sells the piece as a skirt, which highlights some versatility in the piece. I love all the additions here, the tulle skirt layers really stand out well agains the green skirt beneath. The silver floral of the top looks great too, the tone really is a perfect one to pair with the greens =)

Now I did also pick up the Green Sheer Dress to try out, and I did enjoy styling it - I found quite a few options for layering beneath it, but did struggle with choosing the right accessories. I'm really loving these earrings with the dress though, those are fab, just lacking the perfect silvery green bag to finish it off, this one is an ok choice for now. Next up are the Pearl Teardrop Sunglasses which are just so pretty, love these a lot, definitely the top piece in the collection for me. I knew I wanted to add some more pearls to the look, and once adding these booties, the look came together immediately in my mind - love this one so much and that colour combination is absolutely perfect for Autumn, I'll be pulling this one out again for sure! And last up are the Kriester Sunglasses and Tartan Mini Handbag, this look also came together fast because I knew I wanted to add some more tartan to the look, and with the sheen to the glasses I wanted to add a patent shoe. The rest of the neutral black really balanced out to let those features stand out in the outfit. Again, this is a perfect Autumn styling and I can't wait to wear it again.

I N S P I R E D B Y C H L O E | Tribute Review

The third Tribute of the season - it's Chloe! This is one I'm so excited to see because I really love the designs and vibes of Chloe collections. This is our first stand-alone Chloe release, back in 2012 there was a floor of Chloe as part of a Harrods release, but it was more of a youth release back then and this is such a step up - totally something I never actually dreamed would happen. So let's get in and see what the store includes:

Again, this is a three-floor release with a total of 18 looks with several items available in both male and female versions. I for one, really love the collection. Sure, I did have different visions for my expectations when I heard it was a Chloe release but I think its a real good 'un! So first up, the accessories. There are 7 pairs of shoes available, which is a good number for the size of the collection. The pair that caught my attention the most are the Maroon Thigh High Boots which just look amazing, the perfect Autumn/Winter boot. Love the high leg design and the colour is fabulous, plus the patent leather they are made from with the sheen on the foot. The Green Wrap Heels are also very attractive, I love the minimal strapped design to them and the deep green colour is beautiful, again, I can see these in Autumnal looks. The Congac Clogs are also a cute option, they remind me a lot of the Chanel shoes from the first release of that Tribute. These have very boho vibes, just so classic Chloe^ There are 4 bags in the release, they are nice styles but I had hoped a little for some of the very well recognised designs. I really like both the Leather Buckle Bag and the Bangle Purse, both are black with gold details with the first bringing a shoulder bag design and the second being hand-held. Both really look versatile and I think will be great in my collection for years to come. There are 3 belts in the store, all are gold, so not ideal if you prefer other metals, but one, the Gold Tassel Belt is in SC which is a great option. For me, I love the Chloe Belt (available for both male and female dolls), it looks fab and really stands out well in the store and looks great on the doll. Can't wait to see this be styled! The jewellery pieces are also all in gold, I adore the Horse Necklace. A horse motif is completely something I associate with Chloe collections from years ago, so this piece is perfect for me and I can't wait to wear it. The final accessory piece to mention are the Pink Aviators, super cute piece, of course I can't resist sunglasses. These have a really nice shape to them and I think the colour isn't something I've got on a pair of sunglasses already.

Now onto the clothing. The first floor is very light in terms of colour and fabrics and I love this as an opening, it really does feel Chloe to me. There are three dresses in the floor, two being cream and one brown. The Flower Applique Dress is beautiful, it's a mesh piece completely covered in flowers, and I love the puff sleeves and the maxi length, it looks great on the doll! Also love the look of the Oversized Sleeves Mini Dress which is in a neutral brown but all the detail comes from those sleeves. Love the design of the main body of the dress too, the pleating down the front looks really good - I can see great accessorising options for this one already. The White Sparkle Top and Skirt co-ord is cute and a fab Spring/Summer set, I definitely prefer the Skirt as I think it will work really nicely individually too, the gold is super cute on it for pairing accessories with. The Tan Velvet Bodysuit feels more Autumn/Winter but I absolutely love it, love the velvet and the colour and I think this will be such a fun piece to style up with other brown tones and burgundies. Final piece to mention here is the Fringe Leather Jacket, such a great design, that fringing is fabulous. The colour is definitely unique in a nudey-pink, I think it will be a little of a challenge to find complementary colours to work with it, but it's a challenge I'm up for. The second floor has darker vibes overall but also brings some colour. The first piece I am drawn to is the Green Trench Coat in fabulous sheeny fabric, the colour is so beautiful! Again, a much more Autumn/Winter based piece, but a great one at that. Also in colour is the Rose Tank Maxi Dress, I really love this piece for the colour, it's so beautiful, and I love the skirting of this piece. The sheer fabric is a challenge I'm willing to take on. The Maroon Knit Top also has a beautiful colour, the mesh is an interesting design element but I really like it for the colour. The last pieces to mention are the co-ord of the Navy Sweater and Navy Sweater Shorts, this is such a cute set, love the cardigan design with the layering and the gold buttons - it's really not like anything else we've had in the Plaza. The Shorts are super cute with it, but for me I'm not so sure how I'd style them. The third and final floor is also dark in theme but with less colour additions. For me, this floor isn't as strong as the first two. I'm a little tempted by the Black Leather Pants, but the fit of these on the doll isn't great, and the Leather Shirt also looks good, but it does look very similar to another shirt I already have. The one real temptation is the Maroon Velvet Dress, love the colour of this and I think the design is quite sweet. Again, a perfect Autumn piece and I think it will layer really nicely as well.

F E A T U R E S

First up in the features is Bianca.Vos with two fabulous outfits. The first look uses the White Ruffle Dress and looks amazing, so angelic with this one. The dress layers beautifully with the trousers and I think that really helps with making those ruffle details stand out. Love the gold accessories here, really all working perfectly together. The second styling uses the Green Trench Coat and is a perfect Autumn styling, the green really is perfect with the bronzed trousers, I love that pairing so much. Also loving the green top underneath, it's really a perfect match for the jacket^

Next we have France25 styling up the Pink Capelet - and several of them at that! This is a fun way to style the collection, the multiple resized jackets look fab and creative. The pink colour looks amazing against the grey of the skirt and blazer combination. The pleather of the jackets looks great against the soft light fabric of the skirt. Such a fun styling!

Here is the ever-fabulous Harpie in the Nude Slip Dress and also the Gold Tassel Belt looking absolutely fabulous! This is a piece I really like the look of, but on my doll it just doesn't look great because the colour is too close to my skin tone, but on harpie, it's fantastic^ The dress stands out beautifully and has been styled well - I love the additions of the shimmering sleeve and the tulle one-shouldered top, they really transform the dress. The accessories are great final touches, especially loving the bag and belt combination, thats great =)

S T Y L I N G S

Now for my looks. I ended up buying a lot of pieces, so there will be more looks to come for sure, but three to start with. First up, the Navy Sweater and Leather Buckle Bag - the bag has almost a navy hue to it so I thought these would look good together, the gold buttons on the cardigan definitely pair them nicely. I decided to continue with gold in the look and this light skirt really adds a brightness to the styling, I really love the colour contrast. Simple gold accessories at the top and black heels at the bottom add a nice balance. Next are the Fringe Leather Jacket and Maroon Thigh High Boots, not pieces I was originally planning to pair together but when I tried this skirt with the boots, I knew I had to try out the jacket because of the pink tones in the tartan. I really like the outcome! I didn't really have any peachy-pink accessories to pair well with the jacket, so I stuck with burgundy, but I think it still looks good and I'm happy with the outcome. The jacket seems more of a Spring piece, so I would go for more of a Spring styling with it next time. And finally, a number of pieces, the Horse Necklace, Chloe Belt, Rose Tank Maxi Dress and Pink Aviators! I really love the colour of this dress a lot, and as soon as I paired it with this burgundy top I was in love with the pairing. I continued that with the accessories and added some gold to pair with the detail on the bag - so much love for this look =)

F E V E R | Styled Outfits

Fever releases are a staple of the Summer, and this years one is no exception with fun and bold colours and prints and light fabrics. I think this is a really nice release with a good mix of pieces to choose from. My eyes were naturally drawn to the pinks and oranges and I picked up 4 pieces to try out - I loved styling them all! First up, the Ombre Blazer which has a lovely purple and orange combination and I really fancied the challenge of making those colours work in an outfit, and I'm so so pleased with my final look for it, I love it =D I opted for a burnt orange skirt and I think that pairs really well with the purple but also highlights the lighter orange at the bottom of the blazer. I then focused on purple for accessories to tie in with the top of the blazer and I really love my choices, so so pleased with this one! Then is the Jacquemus Pink Purse which is such a cute piece, and simple, so will be easy to add to many outfits. I decided to focus on that pink colour across the look rather than have the pink stand out alone. I love the mix of bright pink against the light of the flowers on this skirt (a recent sale purchase on a whim!), and overall the pinks and white are a popping contrast. Quite a different one for me but such a fun one, I love it too^

Next are the Sunset Trousers mixing pink and orange, and I used orange for my additions. These are definitely a fun pair, and they fit the doll very well. The pink pops well amongst the orange and this is such a fun top for the trousers. Orange accessories are easy for me as I love these pops of colour, but here they're merging in perfectly. Then lastly the matching Sunset Blouse, with opposing orange at the top and pink at the bottom, and without thinking about it really, I've gone for pink additions to this one. I absolutely love these trousers and they're a perfect fit for the pink of the blouse. I really loved this bag in the look too, a perfect pink match as well and continued that with the earrings. Super fun Summer stylings this set =)

I N S P I R E D B Y J E A N P A U L G A U L T I E R | Tribute Review

Our second Tribute of the Summer 2024 season is here - Jean Paul Gaultier! We've had a couple of JPG releases in the Museum Mile store previously, but actually only one other stand-alone Tribute release and that was all the way back in 2012 (seriously, where did 12 years go?!). Now I wasn't a huge fan of the brand back then, and honestly I'm still not, it's just not my style personally, but let's jump in and see what's on offer this time:

As is standard for Tributes now it seems, the release is 3 floors with a total of 14 looks - with 6 of these looks being available in both male and female-sized clothing, which gives pretty good options. Now overall, this release is still not really my thing, however I do think there are some really nice individual pieces that can work for anyone. The release feels quite mixed, with half the pieces feeling quite Wintery and some quite Summery. Accessories-wise, there are quite a few pairs of shoes to choose from. I quite like the Pearl Toe Ring Heels which have a modern perspex body to them with a silver platform, the tiny pearl is super sweet. There aren't any bags in the release, however there are several jewellery and headwear pieces. The Flower Puff Earrings are so pretty and elegant. Both the Cream Sailors Cap and Red Beaded Sailors Cap have surprisingly caught my eye, I really quite like how they look on the doll and they're definitely unique pieces to the Plaza. Next onto the clothing. On the first floor I really liked the tulle fabrics of the Tulle Corset Dress in pretty nude with fabulous sparkling details on the bodice, and the Red Beaded Mini Dress in it's base of pink with fantastic red floral detailing, these two pieces alone are just stand out! Also on the beaded theme is the Black Beaded Bra, this is very pretty with red floral details. In the store this is paired with the Black Maxi Skirt which is a fab basic in this release, and is priced in SC's which is great. The Black Trousers are also a pretty simple item, I love the velvet texture they have to them, but the oversized style of them isn't so much for me - but I can see these being popular. The second floor has a lot going on, it's all about different textures and details. My eyes immediately went to the Green Rouched Coat for it's beautiful bottle green colour, it's stunning! It's also super detailed, the ruching looks great and I can see this being a perfect Autumn/Winter piece. On the contrary, the Blue Puff Sleeve Crop and Bejeweled Corset Shorts pairing is super Spring/Summer with the light colours the tiny length of the shorts. I love these colours together though, it's super refreshing. I would love to see someone styling up the Sheer Illuminati Dress to see how wearable and versatile it is, it's sheer and quite bulky in shape, but I really like the green detailing. The final floor is a little more extravagant in style and really not so much for me, but I do like the look of the Gold Embroidered Trousers - simple but with very nice detailing around the waist. They do have a wide-leg fit, but are high waisted which is why I prefer them over the other pair of black trousers.

F E A T U R E S

First up in the features, the always fabulous harpie wearing the Black Lace Cape in such a cool-girl way^ This is a piece I just couldn't imagine how in could be worn in a more everyday way, and this outfit completely ticks all the boxes, so perfect for it! The lace looks amazing with the floral print of the trousers, and the loose tee with the long necklaces adds a cool casual vibe. Love the accessorising all over this one =)

Secondly is Sieg who goes super simple with the Cream Sailors Cap, again, a piece I wasn't sure how it would look styled but this look completely proves me wrong that it can work well in a daily look. The light silk colour really balances perfectly with the pleated skirt, the sailor style is really great with pleating I think. The dark blazer gives a highlighting contrast to the styling, while the trainers and socks give it a cool casual vibe, totally something I could style up too^

And finally is BeatriceFashion in both the Cream Sailors Cap and White Sheer Dress. Sure, it's not super adventurous but the look effectively highlights the pieces from the release while remaining stylish^ The dress, of course, really speaks for itself, but I think it's styled nicely with the little sheer gloves too, a perfect complementary accessory. The shoes are simple but a perfect colour against the hat. The earrings are a perfect final touch, so perfect with the details on the dress =D

S T Y L I N G S

And for my stylings - as well as these pieces I also picked up the Black Maxi Skirt, which I'm sure will get a lot of wear. First up here are the Gold Embroidered Trousers which were super easy to style. They have such a nice fit on the doll too. I kept it simple with a black base to the look and focused on those gold details, for sure a favourite way to dress for me^ I think the pieces really work perfectly together highlighting the trousers in this styling. Next up is the Blue Puff Sleeve Crop in the brightest look of the set, this was such a fun piece to style and I found this an easy outfit to put together. Once I tried on the bag with the top I was really sold on the pairing, a perfect shade of blue in the strap and the light beige of the body is a fresh combination for me which I had to continue with in this belt choice. The light trousers keep the look perfect for Summer, I'm really so pleased with this styling! And finally the Green Rouched Coat in another dark look, but also another look that came together easily. I knew I wanted to wear these boots with the coat, and the two go together as perfectly as I had hoped. I tried out quite a few different colours for bags, but loved this one for not only the colour but also the texture against the ruching on the coat. The gold chain pops nicely and I continued with gold in the earrings and glasses. Another look I love!
