BA: The Editors' Choice On and Off the Page!

Today we were so delighted to see one of our favorite editor friends featured on TheStar.com, Canada’s largest daily news! Joanna Hillman, Style Director at Harper’s Bazaar, looked effortlessly chic, fashionable and fabulous while shopping with her also very stylish mother at Harry Rosen’s in Toronto, and we were completely envious of her head to toe ensemble! One particular piece that caught our eye was the Ben-Amun Regalia Long Gold Locket Necklace Joanna was wearing, that she also featured in Harper Bazaar’s October issue! We love how this simple locket necklace instantly pulls this look together.

It's Time to Bundle Up & Accessorize!

For those of us not lucky enough to be able to bask in the sun and warm weather year round, the endless, dreadfully freezing days can definitely take a toll on all of us fashionistas! How can you possibly begin to accessorize when you are constantly forced to be weighed down in multiple layers, a heavy peacoat, earmuffs and gloves?!  But just because you might feel (and look) like a snowman on the move throughout the chilly city streets, doesn't mean you can’t stun with the best winter accessories when you finally make it to your much appreciated, cozy and warm indoor location! Unveiling a fashionable winter getup with the most perfect and attention grabbing accessories is the best way to shed the season’s slump!

When you wake up at 7 am to see it’s a very uncomfortable 25 degrees out (but feels like 15) with a high of 30 the last thing you want to do is find an outfit that’s not only on trend for the New Year, but is also suitable for the torturing temperatures you’re about to face. Fret no more; Ben-Amun is here to help! There are so many great pieces that are easy, trendy, weather approved and most importantly accessory ready! Most of which you probably already own! Check out my favorite winter wardrobe necessities and the Ben-Amun staples that will spice up a frigid day and make you stand out in the sea of boring and basic winter apparel!

These Ben-Amun Deco Crystal Tower Earrings are an easy way to glam up this beautiful espresso colored chunky sweater from Free People! Warm and comfortable with a touch of sparkle for those dreary winter days!

Layering these long gold Ben-Amun necklaces with this Theory color block cashmere sweater are a must for winter work days. Warm AND on trend! What more could a girl ask for?! Add some tights and you're out the door in a flash!

A basic turtleneck might not be your go to grab when trying to be on trend. But think again! Fashionable turtlenecks are certainly making an appearance this winter! Pairing this Gap Eversoft circle hem turtleneck with a short statement necklace like this Ben-Amun Deco Crystal Triangle Collar Necklace, you are sure to not only turn heads, but be perfectly trendy during this chilly season! Not to mention, how fun is this color!? A perfect way to brighten up a cool, gloomy winter day! 

The classic button-down has long been a wardrobe staple. It’s an effortless way to look appropriate at work, yet still be comfortable and stylish. A rather new take on this is the addition of the trendy Peter Pan collar! A small change that instantly creates a more fashionable look to any ensemble! Pair this Equipment color block silk blouse with this stunning Ben-Amun Crystal Baguette Necklace! Right on trend in every way AND wearable for a winter January day at the office… seems too good to be true!
