I’m sure you’ve seen the bright and bold turquoise bracelets I posted yesterday. The statement bracelets are just a sneak peek of the lovely turquoise themed jewelry that’s available right now for summer. How about giving her a matching set to wear individually or all together?  Judith Ripka has created a fantastic trio of matching turquoise jewelry, just perfect for gift giving!

From the Judith Ripka Eclispe Collection comes a bold turquoise ring, turquoise drop earrings and a lovely turquoise pendant with an oval link chain. All three pieces are made of 18K gold, sterling silver and pave set diamond …read more

One of my favorite sunglasses trends this summer is new bold colors.  Sometimes a fun name really gets me excited about a product and elevates the design to a whole new level.  These sunglasses by Paul Frank are called “Sunshine Clouds & Everything Proud” and they come in a beautiful Aqua Seafoam or Burgundy Seafoam color.  Paul Frank is a designer known for his whimsical designs, so I’m not surprised to see that he brought the same light-hearted concept to the naming of his sunglasses!

I love this fantastic statement necklace from jewelry designer Stephen Dweck!
It features two strands of big, chunky faceted clear quartz crystal and two accent beads, made from carved turquoise.  The clear crystal keeps the necklace from being overwhelming – so you get a statement necklace that won’t overwhelm the rest of your outfit.
If you take a close look at the necklace, you can see that those accent beads are actually koi fish, curving around the beads:

The necklace is finished with a sterling silver clasp in the shape of an orchid.

From Daniela’s Petal Collection comes this lovely Turquoise Petal Necklace ($4500 at Neiman Marcus). It’s made of solid 18k gold and adorned with turquoise and pave diamond (.55tcw) insets. The pendant measures about 1.25″ diameter. It would look gorgeous with a little black dress and is not too flashy for work.
There’s even a matching Turquoise Petal Ring …read more

Turquoise is becoming more and more popular in jewelry once again.  It’s showing up everywhere from Project Runway to high-end luxury jewelry.
Jewelry designer Michelle Roy has taken polished turquoise cabochons and mounted them onto leather to create her unique cuff bracelets:

I think the bracelets would be a great accent to a casual outfit – maybe with jeans and a crisp white blouse for lunch, or even a summery dress for a fun evening out with friends!

You can also add another dash of color and add some red coral to the bracelet as well.

It’s Wednesday, you’re smack-dab in the middle of the week, stuck at the office and need cheering up!
May I suggest the lovely, summery “Lexi” sandal from Juicy Couture?

Patent leather, trendy color and a teensy little Juicy charm – bliss!

I think half the fun of seeing the color forecasts is finding the accessories to match the colors

Betsey Johnson’s “Patch Me if you Can” small hobo in teal definitely matches Pantone’s “Caribbean Sea” color!
