Spring 2011 Jewellery Trends from Fashion Week

For spring 2011 there was a complete change in attitude and move away from the minimalism look from fall. The necklaces were large, sparking a return of the bib necklace from a few seasons ago. Chokers returned to the runway, reminiscent of the choker trend from roughly a decade ago. The bibs and the chokers on the European runways for spring were decadent, embellished and anything but minimal.


There were also cuffs on the spring 2011 runways. The cuffs were bold and featured stones, beads and other embellishments which could easily blend together with a choker or bib necklace.

The third most notable jewelry trend from the runways were long, shoulder brushing earrings. The last time the long, shoulder length earrings were on the runway in such full force was about one decade ago. Roberto Cavalli showed feather earrings. Chanel showed shoulder skimming feather earrings as well as shorter dangles which hit about mid-neck, yet were bold and easy to spot from several yards away. Dolce & Gabbana went more for a classic yet bold approach to the large earring trend for spring 2011. D & G showed large, gold bangle earrings reminiscent of the late 1980's and early 1990's.

Jewelry is back with a vengeance! Minimalism has gone by the wayside as we move into the resort and spring seasons. This is a great trend to shop your closet and look for those bib necklaces from a few season ago as well as those cuffs and chokers from ten years ago. The long earrings and bold earrings might be a good trend to buy new and invest in one or two fabulous pairs of statement earrings. The styles are fresh and very different from the last time bold earrings were in style.

NYX Dupes for MAC Products

Hola! 


I came across this list while browsing. I know a few people have been asking about the quality of the NYX Cosmetics and how they compare to MAC.


NYX is actually a great alternative. The colour pay-off is amazing, the products don't fade easily and are extremely pigmented. The mere fact that this line is catching on as a Pro (Make-up Artist) favourite should speak volumes.


I hope you find something below that can easily replace  a current MAC favourite at an excellent price. :). And remember, all items that are listed below can be purchased from Significant Details on our website at www.significantdetails.com. We are located in Kingston, Jamaica, and we offer island-wide delivery.

NYX Liquid Foundation = Mac Hyper Real SPF 15 (Mac Pro only): 
NYX Twin Cake Foundation = Mac Studio Fix Powder or Studio Tech 
NYX Concealer Jar = Mac Studio Fix Concealer

** I noticed a lot of the NYX blushes have the same name as Mac's blushes and are very similar in color (dupes).
