Romancing The Stone

Break out the gypsy skirts, lace, Victorian boots, and wild hair to achieve that Frida Khalo meets Stevie Nicks bohemian look this Spring. Top it all off with sumptuous accessories like chunky necklaces, bracelets, and this luxurious brown leather belt with a brass and jade stone buckle. ($403)

Conveyor Belt

I like this plain red leather tab belt for its simplicity. Not too flashy, but rather innocuous even, the natural colored elastic cincher is the perfect compliment for those belt-less vintage dresses taking up space in your closet. A shiny gold tone button serves as the closure mechanism. Fasten the belt over an oversized white button down shirt with black leggings and flats for a sleek mod look. ($59)

It's a Wrap

Belts seem to become more relevant to daily life as winter approaches. Since most skin is covered to protect from the cold, belts are needed to accentuate a waist hidden by bulky sweater material. This winter, invest in a heavy coat, fine gauge cashmere sweaters and a few interesting cinctures such as this skinny red leather double wrap belt with an unexpected chain detail. The perfect compliment to a clingy sweaterdress, it sits low on the hips to accentuate the midsection and detract from any fabric bulk. A sound wardrobe acquisition. ($275)

Obi-Wan

Considered a necessity amongst Tatooine princesses, this leather obi-style belt wraps around once and ties high in front or back. Available in a dozen colors with atleast six different styling options, this belt will handily take over the spot as most versatile amongst your collection. Custom colors are available for native New Yorkers, just swing by the Nolita shop. I'd like to see one in white to compliment a funky wedding dress, or pastel colored belts as original-like accessories/gifts for the bridesmaids. Sweeet! ($98)
