Everyone knows a creative mind opens many doors, and we’ve got the key, actually, Fossil does! They have been using vintage keys throughout their collections since day one to inspire, incite wonder and unlock curiosity and endless fashionable possibilities. So in the spirit of DIY, we decided to add a modern, color-blocked twist to this iconic, timeless object to celebrate Fashion’s Night Out! To create:  gather vintage keys in various sizes.  Use nail polish in a variety hues and paint small sections of each key.  Allow to dry and add each to a chain.  Mix and match and layer as many as you like! P.S.- Join us! Create your own versions our of color-blocked skeleton key necklace with Erica on Fashion’s Night Out at Fossil Times Square- 1585 Broadway at 47th Street, 6pm-9pm.
If we’ve got one tip to offer up for your Fall accessory collection…make sure it ROCKS. Chanel had an all-out crystal ball with its Fall 2012 collection, as Karl Lagerfeld decked heels, cuffs, hems and even eyebrows with brilliant moonstones & rocky gems.  Fuse abstract amethyst, moody-hued quartz and shimmering fluorite to create a bold yet (literally) precious D.I.Y. hair accessory for a look that packs the power of Kryptonite both day and night.  To create:  Cut a rectangular piece of leather (or leather-like) fabric to the approximate size of your barrette. Glue the backside of the fabric piece to your barrette with extra-strength glue - we used E6000. To avoid excess glue and drips, use a craft stick. Finish by embellishing with an array of quartz and crystals. Let dry completely, then style for an instant eye-catcher.

 Now this is what we call trend-“spotting”.  Nothing says sparkle like SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS , and who says you need to be decked to the nines to have a good time?  Our ingredient of choice for adding dazzle to even the most casual of looks is SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS Crystal Neon Pearls… we enlisted these vibrant  accouterments to connect the dots to take a vintage military shirt to the next level.  Salute your own DIY style by adding a brilliant spark of color to your day! To CREATE YOUR STYLE with SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS, select any shirt or jacket with a pocket flap to use as your base.  Dream up a design and use chalk or a pencil to mark up your pocket flap.  Using color coordinated thread, begin to stitch on each neon pearl bead following the line of your pattern.  SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS crystal neon pearls are available in our favorite neon hues of pink, orange, and yellow.  P.S.- We want to see how neon inspires you!  Follow @swarovski and @psimadethis and tweet us your neon inspiration tagged with #neonpearls to be eligible to win a SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS Crystal Neon Pearl DIY Kit!
