trend watch: RED BAG

In some countries and religions the color red brings good luck to the wearer.  Well we can't promise good luck but we can promise that it is good fashion sense!  A red bag makes a perfect "pop piece" that will stand out of any outfit.  It is the perfect accessory to brighten up an everyday look.

this just in: JODI B WISE

We've got a new addition today on Badjoan.com, Jodi B Wise!

CLICK HERE TO SHOP THESE ITEMS!

Jodi B. Wise launched her first collection of belt and apron “wraps” as accessory pieces to “glam up” the casual jean and tee-shirt look. She has since expanded her line to include a range of layering pieces including tops, dresses, shrugs and cummerbunds which mirror this simple wrap effect. All of her pieces are made from stunning fabrics which she sources from all corners of the world and it is her unique choices of fabric that give each woman a personalized look.

BAD JOAN'S PICK: Shrug Wrap
You simply MUST have one of these!  There are four color choices available right now: Bronze Sequin, Gold Sequin, Black Print and Maroon Print.  Each one can be worn either wrapped around the shoulders to create a shrug or around the neck to create a halter top.  They are so gorgeous and unique and can be worn with just about anything.  We love it over a tank or t-shirt to dress up a casual look or wear it out to an evening event with a cocktail dress!
