2009 Fall Fashion Report from Portia Jewelry

2009 R-T-W Fall Fashion Trends. I never noticed this many runway shows that were as in sync when it came to trends. The trends for Fall/Winter 2009 are powerful and bold and the looks I'm about to list were pretty much seen all across the board. Make sure to click on the image below to view all the latest fashion jewelry arrivals at PortiaJewelry.com for Fall 2009.

BIG Jewelry- This season is all about BIG jewelry. Standout necklaces with lots of layers and mixed styles. Opt for metallics and leather bangles and cuffs to sport these trends this season if a head to toe leather and metallic look is a bit much for you. Grab some stacked bracelets and bangles with beads and stones set in a rich colored enamel - Think Russian Princess. Thick chain linked necklaces and bracelets to show off your powerful and sexy side. Big cocktail rings using abnormal components, such as leather, stretch bands and enamel are the latest. Plus, use studs and rhinestones to glamify hard leather and use color to brighten the blackness of everything this season. View and shop all the latest fashion jewelry trends!

Sparkle and Shine- Strong metallics with the use of sequins and studs. Seen mostly with copper and gunmetal as well as any electric color imanginable.

Strong and Sexy Shoulders- 3.1 Phillip Lim, Gucci, Donna Karen and Carolina Herrera gave us a glimpse of the 80's with an updated version of exaggerated shoulders. The emphasis on one of women's sexiest features - the shoulders - were appreciated with off the shoulder tops and dresses, bare shoulder ensembles and pointed or puffed dresses, tops and outerwear.

Everything Leather- Leather was seen on almost every runway show this season. Leather dresses, leather tights, leather thigh-high boots, leather jewelry, leather glovers and of course, leather jackets. All we have to say is hot, hot... HOT!

Rocker Vibes- Think about a true 80's rocker look and then change the look with opulent fabrics, form fitting silhouettes and add some stacked bracelets or a stand out necklace. That's the look to sport this season. It's all very powerful, playful and sexy.
