The Smith's Take On Milan

(WWD)

Jada and daughter Willow are quite the stylish twosome as they attend various shows in Milan. I love Jada's look in picture one...she is flawless from head to toe! The hat, bag and pendant are the perfect additions to an outfit that's hotter than hot. Not to be slighted, Willow makes quite a showing, as a fashionista in the making. Her style belies her age, as she leans toward the "funkier" side of the fashion spectrum. I'm sure that this mother and daughter duo has captured the attention of many on the streets of Milan.

Jewelry Extraordinaire

Each season I anxiously await the arrival of new and exciting fare as the models take to the runways. While I'm an irrepressible clotheshorse, I find that my eyes are immediately drawn to the neck, hands, arms and feet of said models, in search of fabulous accessories. While many of the RTW collections were a bit sparse in the jewelry department (it is about the clothes after all), I "unearthed" some pieces that have temporarily satisfied my "accessory craving." Featured are just a few of the latest pieces from some of my favorite designers. Enjoy the view!
