ERICKSON BEAMON

Partners Vikki Beamon and Karen Erickson have been working together for ages, first on fashion and creating catwalks and then on jewelry after not being able to find the accessories they craved for their runway shows.  The coveted beaded necklaces are their trademark piece but with this gorgeous cuff bracelet, their highly demanded forte could be changing!   Each jewelry piece is handcrafted using crystals and semi-precious stones and the company is continuing to expand their lines.  Erickson Beamon created this leather-covered Jet Cabochon Cuff using an edgy combo of enamel and glass jewels, which is edged in either 24 carat gold or sterling silver. ($475).

DIOR SPORT

These sunglasses are the perfect modern take on the aviator; masked, large frames are the hit of the year.  The rose gold frame curves around the face and fits snuggly to the head so there is no worry of losing these glasses.  The Dior logo on the side button as well as on the inside frame are the perfect simple touch.   Even though it’s turning cold there is always a need to protect your eyes, and what better way to do that than with a pair of gorgeous Dior’s.

HENRY III GENERATION

Angie Ahmadi-Miller is the hit designer behind the Dallas-based premium denim brand.  What does she have to say about fall trends this year? It’s the trouser cut jean!  Her take on this style is named the Jessica ($198).  This wide leg trouser has a 9” rise, which creates a slimming effect through the waist and hips, something we all love!  Angie uses premium Italian denim and lines that create the illusion of longer leaner legs and a raised firm backside! Its time to throw out those ripped and faded jeans that you live in and check out the great styles that Henry III Generation has created this season.
