The much anticipated Art Basel Miami Beach show will take over Miami December 5-8, 2013. With four days of special exhibitions and gallery showings, it's expected to bring more than 50,000 visitors. If you’re trying to decide what to wear, think about creating an avant-garde look by playing with bold colors, unique shapes and interesting textures through statement accessories. The fashionati should take inspiration from Chanel’s Spring 2014 runway eye makeup. This look is reminiscent of a parrot spreading its wings to show a wide array of vibrant hues. To stay in that mode, we’ve compiled a collection of jewelry, clutches, and footwear in vibrant hues that are sure to make a memorable outfit for Art Basel.
