Louis Vuitton

Sexy, saucy, and full-on Parisian, somewhere out of the forties and swizzled up with a dash of glitter and Josephine Baker African razzmatazz—Louis Vuitton came like a cathartic, mood-enhancing cocktail at the end of a long, grinding season. Or as Marc Jacobs, working slicked-back hair and a sharp-shouldered pinstripe suit, had it backstage, "Little Parisienne princess, no?"

Well, yes and no. As a piece of fashion defiance in the face of incoming depression, this densely worked, heavily accessorized collection held inspiration for far more women than just leggy teenagers. Where recent Louis Vuitton collections have fallen into either confusing high jinks or an exclusionary high style (like last season's eighties reprise), this one—with its multitude of tiny, flippy skirts; obi-cinched waists; glittery sweaters; padded-shoulder jackets; and elegant wide-leg pants—had something to seduce everyone.

What held it together was the pitch-perfect spirit of the will to dress up in tough times. It was a suggestion rather than a theme, but there was something here of the plucky glamour of women in wartime Paris: a Deco-era palette sparkled up with showgirl glints of metallic python and crystal; crepe kilts spliced with windows of dotted net in the rear for naughty jeune filles; sculpted-shoulder blazers and graceful high-waist pants for grown-up mesdames.

And then there was the mesmerizing sight of a zillion accessories. A slew of tribal-art references came in necklaces, earrings, and stacks of bangles and amazing shoes loaded with sproutings of feathers and plastic collages of abstract African faces. The bags were back in sumptuous array: tactile, poufy shapes glowing with mixed-material suedes and multicolored metallics, python, and leopard spots. Quite brilliant.

Which would you pick?

I have an extremely large jewelry collection. It's so overwhelming that I find myself wearing the same things over and over and I forget what I have. I mostly wear white metals (white gold, sterling silver, etc.) I don't care much for yellow metals or rose gold.

What is a gemstone I can wear everyday and will match with everything? I wear a lot of diamonds already because they always match but I feel that when I wear certain color stones, I have to wear certain clothing... what can I pick that is colorful and matches all day? I prefer no black stones or multicolor rings??

Thanks. :)

Opal will go with most anything, I'm a big fan.

I also like onyx, but you don't want a black stone. If done properly it can be quite stunning.

Pearls are timeless and match everything.

You can wear turquoise, topaz and garnet in the fall and winter with warmer colored outfits, and play up sapphire, amethyst, peridot, aquamarine, and emeralds in the spring and summer.

For an edgier piece you could incorporate tigers eye or malachite.

Look at what colors you wear most, and try to match your stone to them. They don't have to match perfectly, just in the same area. Warm colors should stick with warm colors, and cool colors should stick with cool colors. Also play with seasons.

I can find a way to wear either turquoise, lapis lazuli, or onyx every day. They're my three favorites.
