Jewelry Looks For Summer 2012
12 years ago
Summer fashion tends to be diverse. This is a good thing because we do a range of activities in the summer. Jewelry trends range from bohemian to diamond studded, and tribal to vintage this summer. Bold and unexpected color combinations have popped up everywhere. In addition, large gemstones, geodes and crystals are also hitting the streets. Here are our top 4 picks for summer jewelry trends:
CROSS YOUR BODY
That’s right, crosses have returned! When it comes to crosses there are no rules. Big, bold, colorful, neutral, and delicate are all acceptable this season. The Ernest Jones Necklace collection has a lineup of beautiful diamond encrusted crosses.
DANGLE-ies
Chandelier earrings are beautiful and feminine. They can make an outfit luxurious in no time. The trend can be found in precious metals and less expensive materials this season. Add are adorned with amazing jewels or resin elements in them.
STACK IT
The ‘stacking bracelets’ trend is nothing new, we’ve been doing it for seasons. Arm candy continues into summer 2012. The more materials, finishes, textures, patterns, and colors you can pile on the better. No ensemble is complete without a high end piece for the stack. Shoot for a Pandora Leather Bracelet at John Greed.
FLORAL FANTASY
Petals and buds aren’t only featured as clothing prints this season, they also appear on necklaces, bracelets, and rings. Flowers appear on all types of jewelry materials from jewel encrusted petals to resin materials, make sure to adorn your summer outfits with flowers!
Wardrobe inspiration from the streets
12 years ago
I’m a little stuck in a wardrobe rut. I have my basic v-neck shirts, cardigans, skinny denim, and ankle boots on constant rotation. Considering that I have a ton of clothes in my closet that are overlooked everyday – going out and buying a whole new wardrobe is completely out of the question (as exciting as it may seem).
Instead, I have looked to some of my favorite personal style bloggers and street style blogs for some wardrobe inspiration – hoping that I can create some fresh looking outfits, using what’s already in my closet.
Here are some inspiring looks that are easy to recreate using pieces I already own:
This is such an easy summer look – I love the mix of girly paired with a tough biker jacket – looks laidback, but still on trend.
This is a great way to ease into the monochromatic look of the season – basic and simple, but looks polished.
A pop of color is nice (especially during the summer months). This look is dressy but also playful – a perfect outfit for a Birthday celebration.
I love this entire look. Nothing too complicated – just a good coat, skinny denim and a sweet pair of ankle boots – classic, and very cool.
I am a stripe junkie – I love the mix of the animal print with bold stripes – this is a perfect look for a fun weekend.
