“Fall is all about strong accessories and this brand hits it out of the park. These bracelets feature bold color pallets and interesting execution – I love the metal detailing on the buckle…and cannot wait to add these bold pieces to my fall staples!” -Erin Creaney, owner Studio-808

When talking about designer Sakura Urban Allyson says, “She’s one of my favorite new finds. Sakura Urban is a line out of Indianapolis that I was so excited to get in to bess & loie.
The rings are perfect, of the moment (um, have you seen enough cocktail rings yet?),and different.
And $20. I mean, how can you beat that?
The pins (or brooches as my grandma would call it) are awesome, and my favorite are
the poppies on change purses and pouches. The colors are fun yet neutral, and the
prices couldn’t be better.
And, in doing my trend research, flowers (or rosettes) are the next big thing.
This is your way to be ahead of the pack without breaking the bank. We’re in love.
Sigh.”
Thanks Allyson!
P.s. by mentioning the Style Studio blog she’s giving recessionista’s 20% off!
Color Creeps In This Winter
From punchy handbags to jewel-toned overcoats, this season color is the quickest way to break up the sea of grey and black that flows through the city on a winter’s day. Designers are introducing teal totes, checkered capes, and fuchsia fedoras that are great punches of color in anyone’s winter wardrobe.
But how do you incorporate color subtly? Not everyone can comfortably commit to a mustard blazer for the rest of the day or coordinate with a plum tote, so the answer is to think smaller.
Much smaller.
Suzanne Miranda is the mind behind the Nomadic Ant collection – a line of jewelry so bewitching with touches of color and graceful curves that you can’t help but think of waves and the summer.Working with stones of red coral, black onyx, blue turquoise, and white halite, Miranda’s unique earrings are the chicest accessories that commit to color and echo every season with their organic shapes and natural elegance.
Creations like these offer accessible color; versatile, youthful, graceful and chic. This is a color option for anyone that goes from day to night and work to weekend, and can transform any outfit, summer, winter, spring and fall.
Winter is when we need to get creative with fashion. Start small with color.
Havana earrings $48 / Madras earrings $36 / Dhaka earrings $38 / Cadiz earrings $48

You know the drill – wake up late, rush around trying to put your outfit together and run out the door… with everything but that killer necklace that was the whole reason for buying the purblue v-neck mini dress your currently sporting unaccessorized.

Studio-808, Inc. is the brainchild of Erin Creaney, a PR executive with a near-athletic enthusiasm for emerging designers. Finding herself searching the city for great designers with new and different looks, she knew a larger operation was in order. What's more, she felt the world needed to know about the fashion percolating in the Windy City. Thus was born Studio-808.com.
