You’ve avoided the patent-leather trend like an old pair of Uggs. And just when you thought you’d escaped the shiny fabric, it hits you—Cacharel’s bubble necklace. Big and oversize like Marni would make, this bulbous bauble lets you work the trend, not the other way around. It looks like a strand of pearls went shopping at Trash & Vaudeville. But you’ll just look like you’re not trying so hard.

travel often leads to endless waits at luggage carousels, pulling off

bag from an aisle away. Available in four colors—pink, blue, green, and
silver—it’s just the right amount of flash, for the perfect amount of
cash. (Resort-perfect wardrobe not included.)

So, rather than let the barrage of holiday party requests make you
stress your dress—and succumb to that old-school suit and tie—take a

season. (more)
