I frequently visit Los Angeles because both of my children live there and of course I brought my "traveling" LBD to put it to work in this fashionable city. This trip we went downtown to the well-known LA Fashion District, which is comprised of hundreds of wholesale and retail stores spanning several city blocks.

As a fashion blogger, this is a great place to people-watch, talk to store owners and window-shop to catch up on the latest trends. One accessory trend which seems to be pervasively popular is the statement chain necklaces and body chains.  I saw them everywhere being worn with both dressy and casual looks, and even with swimwear. 

These elegant statement neck chains can take a simple black dress from blah to wow. Where better to shoot a few photos than in beautiful Beverly Hills!

This is a perfect example of accessories stylishly glamorizing an outfit for not much expense.

Beverly Hills is known for its palm tree-lined streets. So picturesque and the weather is amazing.

The body/neck chains can go from dressy to boho chic and have been popular with many Hollywood actresses and runway designers.
