D' Luxe Style - Tribal Temptations

The tribal trend has exploded this season with clothing, jewelry and accessories inspired by African and Indian influences.

Add ethnic flavor to your wardrobe with a wide color palette of exotic motifs. Differentiate your look with indigenous-inspired prints and tribal geometric patterns.

For jewelry, the look is big and bright and layering is key . Mix chunky bracelets adorned with natural stones with embellished cuffs. Necklaces are intricately beaded, making this season's trend a beadweaver's dream.

Not sure how you will incorporate this look into your Spring 2009 wardrobe? Just remember less is more. A "touch of tribal" will make your look chic and unscripted.

It took a minute, but I finally completed the Cellini Spiral Bangle Bracelet. The technique used is the tubular peyote. It was so much fun selecting the right color combinations of 4 different seed beads to make this bracelet pop.

I've added stiff wire inside to maximize its fit on the wrist. Custom colors are available and more options are in stock. Retail: $40.00. Available at http:/www.dluxedesigns.etsy.com and http://www.dluxedesigns.com.
