Exposed zippers are everywhere. Adorning everything from leggings to shoes, to the 3.1 Philip Lim dress Kate Bosworth rocked way back in December.

And now we’ve found what Abby deemed the “ultimate exposed zipper” in this amazing bangle from Nasty Gal.

It’s simple, and serves up the perfect amount of rock and roll. It’s chunky, but the cool design of the zipper’s teeth keep it from being too heavy-looking.

We are addicted to layering bracelets, and at only $12 it is certain that this baby will be dangling from our arms in no time.

Traditionally a taboo color combination, the pairing of orange and black dominated the runways for Fall 08. Orange accents paired with black ensembles made bold appearances, seen in the high collars at Prada and the opaque tights at Alessandro Dell’ Acqua.

Aquascutum, Christian Lacroix, Gaultier and Narciso Rogriguez reversed the new combination, swapping out the traditional little black dress for more vibrant orange creations paired with opaque tights in black and burnt orange.

Moschino Cheap & Chic did their own version of Halloween-chic with a black and orange printed coat, and Comme des Garcons took the trend to new heights with a voluminous tulle skirt and top, finished off with black tights and dreadlocks.

We’ve always considered black and orange to be a spooky combination worn only on the day of the dead, but since it’s now a runway trend, will we start seeing it on all the other days, too?
