Bibalicious!

Despite the prevalence of oversize earrings on the runways, the bib necklace has not disappeared from view; rather, it is being honed and polished to a fabulous sheen!

    i love this look so much because it can easily be translated to everyday wear--throw a turquoise bib necklace on and poof! your tank top and linen skirt suddenly became more fun and chic :-)

    Those are really beautiful. Especially the turquoise one. It's a shame that they would make my neck look like Hulk Hogan's though.

    I love the Lanvin crystal flower necklace. i borrowed the most beautiful baccarat multi-strands flower necklace from a friend once, and it was gorgeous.

    I love great necklaces and they are getting bigger and better! The Jason Wu piece is my favorite, but I also love the Marc Jacobs piece and the Malin lace is beautiful.

    I like the look but have found that, in reality, people tend to wear those for one season. Don't know why.

    The josephine collar necklace is so lovely! I'm usually not a fan of big necklaces, but the collar-shaped ones are really pretty.

    Are they bibs? Are they necklaces? Who cares! They are utterly amazing. I really like the thick rope of beads with a huge sparkly broach thing attaching them. I might find a way to copy that in the future! Thanks for always posting awe-inspiring fads for me to drool over/mimic :~)

    Necklaces are a necessity to me, and I'm slowly falling in love with the bib necklace. I saw an amazing white one on Shopbop just the other day. It's almost tribal looking. :)

    Hey, gorgeous CC!

    I love this post. It speaks to me at such an intimate level...lol.

    I crave bib pieces (I wear tea cosies, lace nettings, etc, etc as bib necklaces ;)

    furthermore the Verrier, ACB leather fringe and Kenneth Jay Lane are insanely beautiful. Ahh, also so jealous of you guys and Urban Outfitters...shame on their no shipping policy to Australia!

    Haha, hope you're having a lovely week gorgeous ;)
