SEXY! Anklet Jewelry That Will Completely Transform Your Heels!

Anklet

Heels are already an article of clothing well known for infusing sex appeal into any attire. We mean seriously, what’s not to love? Legs look longer, more sculpted as well as defined and ready to bring any onlooker to his or their knees! However, did you know there is one small element you can add to your look that will up the ante faster than a heartbeat? Get ready to make pulses race even quicker this year, all lovers of fashion it’s time to hail the anklet!

SEXY! Anklet Jewelry That Will Completely Transform Your Heels

Anklet

Yes dolls the anklet is a high heel’s wingman. It’s not just standing on the sidelines doing absolutely nothing. It gets in the mix, makes some introductions and proudly proclaims, “My friend the heel!”

Furthermore, anklets are great styling elements for several amazing reasons. Consider the following:

You’re Like…Kinda Boring- Ever had a pair shoes that made you go, “Meh.” Well, that’s the beauty of ankle jewelry. They can instantly change the vibe of your heels. Instead of lackluster your footwear will give off fashionable drama!

You Had Me at Hello- If your crush already loves the sound of heels period. Just wait till they hear your new melodious strut. Hello date night.

•It Can Do What?!– Alright, this one comes straight from the science realm. For thousands of years women have adorned themselves with ankle ornaments; however, now researchers are confident that these beauties can provide a plethora of health benefits.

There’s just one tiny catch, the anklet has to be made out of silver. Although, studies are ongoing, in some people silver anklets have helped with blood circulation and keeping germs at bay. Far-fetched? Maybe, but if it works for you then more power to you.

Anklet Jewelry – Benefits (Continued)

Anklet

 

•It’s Magic Baby- Not all of us are born with supermodel legs. Gams that are longer than the Mississippi and thinner than a Slim Jim. However, you can fake it in a cinch.

By wearing an anklet you can give off the illusion of longer legs. Same is true if you wear heels or sandals with an ankle strap. Your welcome.

Show Me the Money!- Your heels may have been on the clearance rack, but with the addition of jewelry no one will ever know! Also, if you already have an old pair of heels you’re considering pitching, don’t do it. Instead save a few bucks and update the shoe’s style with an anklet. Furthermore, if you’re really feeling on the thrifty side hit up YouTube. On there you will find countless video tutorials showing you how to make your own ankle jewels for super cheap.

Alright, enough talk already, we want to show all you lovelies the ankle jewelry we are currently obsessed with right now. Before we go any further, these babies can be considered a little bit of a splurge because they’re a tad more expensive than the average anklet. Yet, they are totally worth it!

Rihanna Loves Chopard Jewelry Cannes Film Festival

We have all waited patiently and the moment is finally here! Luxury jewelry and accessories label Chopard promised that RiRi’s collaborative collection would finally make its big debut at one of the biggest film festivals in the world. As a result, we are excited to say… They delivered! We have your first look at The Rihanna Loves Chopard Jewelry Cannes Film Festival Reveal!

It’s Here! The Rihanna Loves Chopard Jewelry Cannes Film Festival Reveal

She just can’t slay us like this! Rihanna’s Chopard collection is voguish and oozing with glamour. The imagery captured for the collection which is now on display is sophisticated and high-end. Fashioned in a very simple side profile pose, Fenty showcases a few of her magnificent pieces.

Rihanna Loves Chopard Jewelry Cannes Film Festival

Probably the most recognizable piece is the Rihanna Loves Chopard Chandelier Earrings. These dazzling couture adornments shine bright with jewel encrusted florals and butterflies beaming of boisterous, vibrant hues. The overall look is reminiscent of spring and all of its blossoming flowers.

All year long Rihanna has been blessing us with previews of her collection. For instance at the 2016 Grammy Awards Rih hit the red carpet in her chandelier earrings. Moreover, more recently there was a spotting during the 2017 Met Gala. Of course, it was hard for anyone to take their eyes off of Rihanna’s Comme des Garcons garb as well as HOT Dsquared sandals. However, if you looked past all that fabulousness you may have gazed upon a few more pieces from the Rihanna Loves Chopard collection. Well played RiRi!

The queen of slay continues to set the level high for trends. Rihanna stunned in a gorgeous noire gown by Ralph and Russo. Her amazing stylist, Mel Ottenberg, finished her ensemble with a matching clutch handbag by Roger Vivier and of course, Chopard jewelry.

Rihanna Loves Chopard Jewelry Cannes Film Festival

We love how Rih used her beauty accessories to add a pop of color to her luxurious look. On her nails and lips we spy a rouge infusion. The color red denotes sass, allurement, sex appeal and love. All terms that perfectly reflect Rihanna as well as her collection.

Rihanna’s hair for the dinner is textbook. When wearing such a structural, statement piece hair should be kept simple in order not to distract. Our Badgal’s tresses were pulled back into a sleek chignon with deep middle part for extra drama.
