Asha Hammered Rings
Designer Tracy Matthews loves things you can layer, so when she set out to create her Asha Hammered Rings, she designed them to layer with other jewelry.
Fun facts about Tracy? She’s a part-time yoga teacher, and she loves doing crazy yoga party tricks–handstands, backbends and cartwheels. Oh, and her favorite breakfast foods are bananas and peanut butter (together).
$96 at Tracy Matthews.

Omiru Poll Results: Sweater Jackets are In!
We asked: Are Sweater Jackets In or Out?
You said: Bring on the Sweater Jackets–a full 69% voted them In.
Omiru’s take: There’s no question that Sweater Jackets are in. But now we can ask ourselves what type to wear. Short or long, chunky or delicately knit? Short sweater jackets work well for the petite, but then again, there’s a casual elegance to a 3/4 length. Chunky sweater jackets have a kind of ski-week charm, but a delicately knit jacket can blend right in at work.
Next Question: One of New York Fashion Week’s biggest accessory trends was the re-emergence of Thick Frame Glasses. But what do You think?
Tell us, are Thick Frame Glasses In, or are they Out? Cast your vote on
the sidebar!

Q&A: How to Wear Trapeze Tops in Your 30s
Q: I love trapeze tops, but think I am too old. How can women in their late thirties (39) modify [this] trend?
A: If you love trapeze tops, you should wear them! Just be mindful of what
you wear them with, and look for styles with an appropriate amount of coverage. Some rules of thumb? Look for sleeved styles, and avoid overly exaggerated shapes.
Pictured is a trapeze shaped "dress" that would work
nicely over jeans or pants: Velvet Torch Scoop Neck Empire Dress ($52 at Nordstrom.
It has a flattering neckline and an easy to wear shape, and at that price,
it’s a deal. If you’re feeling more adventurous, you might want to try
this colorful Nanette Lepore Print Shift Dress ($275 at Nordstrom)…again, over a pair of pants.
Another Omiru reader, Robyn, offered up another idea for sleeveless trapeze tops. Robyn suggests layering a sleeveless trapeze top over a long sleeved shirt or turtleneck. Not only will the layered tops keep you warm this Winter, but it also makes the trapeze top look more age appropriate.
