Daisy Lowe donned the season's sheer maxi skirt for an appearance in London yesterday. We debated the wearability of the sheer skirt, but are happy to see Daisy's edgy chic take. She pairs a sheer skirt ($80) with black opaque tights and motorcycle boots ($190), adding femininity via a lace detailed top and tailored jacket. The edge comes from her cool rings.

We fell for Anna Sheffield's Bing Bang collections a while ago. And since then, our designer crush only intensified as she rolled out collaborations and cool creations season after season. Now, she's appealing to our Winter style sensibility with a timely collection of dreamy-inspired jewels. Drawing on nostalgic imagery — hearts and delicate charms — the collection teeters between playful pieces and edgier mixed metals. It's what we've long loved from the designer, and what we'd pair with our cozy sweaters all Winter.
Kerry Washington's cozy-chic look is a perfect one to replicate. Just start with J.Crew's sequin breton stripe tee ($45, originally $72) and skinny denim, then add a pair of gray lace-up booties ($68). Finish with a statement bag, like Kerry's Gucci, et voilà! — a styled look that's ideal for every day. Click the items above to shop a similar style.

Blame it on Art Basel taking place in Miami right now, but we're feeling like bold prints, graphic lines, and pops of color this week. Proenza Schouler's mochila print now comes in a compact, more affordable wallet form; the Marc by Marc Jacobs lace-print scarf has the chic look of lace without the Winter wind-allowing holes; and we love the idea of Mociun's mismatched turquoise stud earrings — one sun, one moon.

Now that we've gotten to know Bing Bang designer Anna Sheffield a little more, let's hear what the designer has to say about East Coast vs. West Coast style. Since she's lived on both sides for almost 10 years, it's safe to assume she's experienced it all. Check out her thoughts on style, high-low shopping, and favorite accessories below!
FabSugar: Since you've lived in both Cali and NYC for most of your life, do you notice a major difference in style?
Anna Sheffield: I think there is. There's a bigger difference between New York and LA than there is New York and San Francisco. I think there's a different type of femininity. I think that in New York, femininity is kind of equal to strength and there's a different type of toughness to the women there. You can see it in their shoes, you know what I mean? Like the gladiator sandal, it's like still going because everybody feels fierce. In NYC, there are edgy and strong females, whereas in California, women are more free to be delicate and feminine. I try and incorporate both into everything that I design, so hopefully everybody likes it everywhere, that's the goal.

Jewelry extraordinaire Anna Sheffield was in SF last week to promote her latest Bing Bang collection at Shotwell boutique. We're always curious about her cool girl aesthetic, so we sat down with the designer to talk about her jewelry inspiration, her latest obsession with Silly Bandz, and her thoughts on the latest design copyright initiative. Check out part one below.
FabSugar: Tell us about your design aesthetic and inspiration for the latest Bing Bang collection.
Anna Sheffield: I sort of get on themes, I always have a few little inspiration points that I draw from. It's always a little bit punk rock, always a little bit Native American, there's always a little Victorian and then I'm absolutely influenced by New York Street or street fashion in general. So I take all of those elements and sort of jostle them around and come up with new themes every season but usually I get sparked by a shape, or a silhouette, or something. I've been doing a lot of things with the feathers so I created this collection that's been ongoing, the Cherokee collection within Bing Bang, so lots of things with the feathers, the pin-nibs, and I just keep doing them in new color ways. I've been wearing them like crazy.
FS: Do your collections have a spiritual meaning?
AS: Yeah, definitely. I think there's certain things that just innately have symbolism, so it's whatever culture, whatever age, whatever tribe, or whatever ethnicity you're from. There's certain things that are always relevant and beautiful and feathers are one of them. Hearts, I love hearts, I'll never be over hearts. I've been drawing hearts on myself, every note I've ever written, when I'm doodling, when I'm on the phone, on my knee, wherever.

Every little kid, and big kid, is excited for Spike Jonze's film adaption of the endearing book Where The Wild Things Are. Opening Ceremony may possibly be the most stoked, its Wild Thing collection is awesome. The film releases soon — Oct. 16 — and I realized it's an easy, adorable, fabulously fuzzy Halloween idea. You may already have some furry boots or a fur vest, and really, the furrier the better. Add some spiked jewelry and tribal touches and go wild.

The collection, debuting in stores and online on Aug. 30, features a variety of drop and stud earrings, layered charm necklaces, and colored stone rings. I'm loving the soft punk vibe, and with prices ranging from $20 to $80, I can indulge in more than one piece. Want to see more of Anna Sheffield's cheap(er) adornments? You know what to do!
