Top Your Accessories With Chocolate
by
Feona Sharhran Huff
I
just love chocolate -- not the kind you're thinking
of, though. It's not chocolate bars, milk, cookies,
or other edibles that fill my cravings, but the color
itself. That's because when a rich chocolate color is
mixed with a beautiful complexion, you're headed for
fashion perfection. After all, chocolate is such a warm,
inviting, and alluring color. And if you're anything
like me -- I'm the queen of chocolate-inspired shoes,
handbags, sunglasses, pants, and skirts -- you certainly
wear the color well.
For a refresher course on chocolate-colored clothes
and accessories, I've got the hue hookup for you. |
Bat(h)Qol
and Fossil handbags
 A
pocketbook with pizzazz -- it's one thing an academic
diva never leaves home without! And, if you're as smart
as your GPA indicates, then your color of choice has gotta
be chocolate. Make your purse purchase count by selecting
a brown handbag in denim, suede, or imported leather fabrics
by Bat(h)Qol, or the Frame Wristlet by Fossil. You'll
look great carrying your most prized personals in either
pick.

Segovia Boot
and
Rochelle
Sandal
 In
case you're a boot lover (like me), and can't live without
'em -- even when the weather gets hot and humid -- you'll
love Birkenstock's latest chocolate-colored boot, Segovia.
This leather, flat, and comfort-fitting brownie looks
great with capris, jeans, or a skirt. Segovias are a
bit pricey, but if you're spending a lot of money on
high-tech gadgets that may become obsolete before you
can blink, why not treat your tootsies to some well-deserved,
foot-flattering booties?
Or,
if you want to showcase your pedicured toes in sexy,
strapless, three-and-a-half-inch sandals, Bakers has
the shoe for you, thanks to its Rochelle leather upper
brown sandal.

Three
Bombshell Brown Mistico Necklaces
 Dare
to don a different style of neck accessory like this
brown handmade Peacock Vertical necklace by Melissa
L. Fine, creator of the jewelry line, Mistico, and an
entrepreneurial business sophomore at Babson College
(Babson Park, MA). In addition to its deep brown color,
the necklace features an authentic peacock feature for
its charm.
 The
Cowshell necklace is truly in a class all its own. The
brown necklace with large, oval-shaped cow-print charm
will make you exclaim more than "mooooo."
It'll beckon y ou to shout "mooooooore brooooooown,
baby!"
 Last,
but not least of Melissa's handmade brown jewelry is
the Brown Silk necklace. The unique thing about it is
you don't hook the necklace the ordinary way. Instead,
you tie it together with a thick brown string. The remainder
of the necklace is made of diamond-shaped brown beads.
