Glossy coat of enamel
 |
| 7 For All Mankind Crop Roxanne in Pink Embroidery, GUESS? top, shoes, Nordstrom earrings, ASK? enamel bracelet |
This season enamel is one of the
biggest trends in jewelry. So perfect to express “hot” neons, pastels,
florals or tribal, this material is showcased in accessory collections of many designers and brands.

| kate spade new york Delacorte bangle watch, $295 (at Nordstrom) |
 |
| Sequin Brights small enamel bangle, $28 each (at Nordstrom) |
 |
| Carole Enamel arrow pendant necklace, $8 (at Nordstrom) |
Bright-hued glossy bangles,
earrings and necklaces are an absolute “must have” this Spring/Summer. No matter what
you pick – vivid geometric print or romantic pale monochrome in a simple shape,
bold over-the-top flora or fauna inspired designs – enamel jewelry is
definitely the best of statement bijoux. Wear it with colorful day dresses for a chic and elegant look, with jeans and a cute tee for an easy and fun casual outfit and leave the seriously exaggerated but still sophisticated encrusted pieces for a
night out.

| Natasha Couture Enamel Peacock statement earrings, $32 (at Nordstrom) |
 |
| Juicy Couture Palm Beach Poolside parrot bangle, $118 (at Nordstrom) |
 |
| GUESS? Enamel bangle set |
Keep in mind that enamel jewelry
will always stay relevant. Now (when the assortment is so huge) is the perfect time to invest in both trendy and classic pieces.

Style in Rouge
 |
| 7 For All Mankind denim jacket ($265), Betsey Johnson sweater dress, Karen Millen red pumps, Tory Burch red handbag ($465) |
No other color than red has the same force of instant
attraction. It beams with power, confidence and edgy sultriness. You will always be noticed wearing this flamy shade, even if there’s just a tinge of it –
scarf, belt or even lipstick.
 |
| Moschitto Designs tapered cuff, $28, Betsey Johnson Rio Cherry drop earrings, $40 (at Nordstrom) |
 |
| MANGO elastic waist belt, $19.99, MANGO leather waist belt, $49.99 |
Red is big in both accessories and clothing this season but
today I want to pay special attention to the first category - accessories. When you feel that there is something missing and the look doesn’t really wow you adding a
splash of color can easily help and red is usually a great option. Very universal
and to some extent neutral (yes, it does sound quite paradoxical, but is
actually true), red goes with pretty much everything. Surprisingly, or not, it
almost never looks “out of the blue” and melts into the outfit pretty seamlessly
and even more – brings out the beauty of other colors in your ensemble.
 |
| MANGO Shiny bowling handbag, $89.99, MANGO patent pumps, $84.99 |
 |
| GUESS? Tabari wedges, $89 |
A pair of red heels and a red handbag is an absolute “must” and not only this Spring/Summer. This classic couple is capable of turning the
most predictable and simple outfit into something special and of course elevating an already special ensemble into something extraordinary. If you are not the proud
owner of red shoes or a bag yet then you will definitely enjoy the search; there are so many beautiful pieces out there! And while you are on the hunt treat
yourself with a pair of red sunglasses or fun red jewelry – you’ll love them!
 |
| MANGO Cat eye sunglasses, $29.99 |
 |
| MANGO TOUCH Beetle necklace,$64.99, GUESS? by Marciano Cabochon stretch bracelet, $68 |

The Crocheted Sweater is one of the most wearable trends that the runway has gifted us this season. So light and flirty, it is perfect for the Spring/Summer season. With so many ways to wear, this peek-a-boo top is extremely
versatile; wear it with a cami underneath for a casual but chic look, pair it
with so trendy bralette for a sexy going out ensemble or even throw a blazer
over it for an office appropriate outfit.
