TREND SPOTTING: TASSELS

If you have only ever thought of tassels to be a luxurious trimming for furniture... you will be pleasantly surprised. This summer tassels are going to be on EVERYTHING. From dresses to shoes, bags to skirts and even jewelry and hair accessories... they are taking the world by storm. Ropes and tassels are natural compnaions so we will see plenty of the paired duo. This combination can be extremely elegant and quite exotic. Be sure to get 'your' tassel on.

If you're not convinced you can check out Gucci's new Summer 2011 ad campaign... this combination is quite obvious.
