Push Back Fall!

Egads, Elle magazine is already previewing the fall collections. Seems come fall we'll be seeing jewel tones, lots of coats, yet more ombre and a sort of allover Hitchcock-heroine-meets-Amy-Winehouse-herion-chic. As much of a fashionista as I am, I say stop the presses! Summer just arrived...let us enjoy it. It was only last week that I broke out my flirty sundresses, strappy flat sandals and lip gloss. I'm not ready for swing coats, emerald-green floor-length dresses and ankle boots. What's next, Christmas decorations?

This shell bracelet from MoonRiverPearls.com embodies easy summer style. Pick one up today! It's on sale!

Summer Jewelry: Turquoise is HOT!

Summer's almost here, which means it's time to lighten up your look. Mother of pearl, pearl, turquoise and coral are all hot right now, mainly because they evoke images of sandy beaches and sultry summer fiestas. I especially love turquoise for its ability to punch up even the simplest, monochrome sheath.

Two of my fave statement-making pieces:
Lori Watts for Moon River Pearls' designer turquoise necklace. $49.99 http://www.moonriverpearls.com/.

AKNY Signature Lion Turquoise Bangle. $59.99. http://www.lordandtaylor.com/.
