Don’t we all wish we could be swimming in the Caribbean and lounging on white sand beaches when it gets this hot? Well, maybe you can’t afford that super luxe vacay to an exotic Island escape, but you certainly can look like you’re going there. A fabulous trend that we’re seeing lately is completely island inspired. Super bright colors like lagoon blue and bright grassy green are staples for this summer. And designers like Prada are showing island prints on dresses, tops, and even shorts. Pair loose rolled boyfriend shorts with a cropped tee for the ultimate in island wear, and then play it up with some beachy accessories. Some island-friendly accessories that will make you beach and fashion ready are straw fedoras, strappy leather sandals and classic woven straw totes. Accessorize like an island gal and try pieces that feel exotic. A Silver Onyx Bracelet featuring a lotus flower or a South Sea Pearl Pearl Necklace create the relaxed feeling of island life. An Aquamarine and Diamond Ring recreates the color of the ocean and brings a sense of island color to your outfit. These tropical accessories will make creating your look a day at the beach:

 The idea of anything “basic” these days can pretty much be tossed out the window, as the fashion industry is turning all its attention to some seriously hot detail. Starting with the clothes, details are more important than ever this season. Pants are being shown with all kinds of details, from studded pockets to tie-dye washes to major distressing (even on chinos!). Your basic top has been upgraded too, now with silk flowers, ribbons and lots of rhinestone faux-necklaces and bedazzled shoulders are decorating many designers’ casual tees these days (we love this jeweled tee by Torn). Accessories are no exception to this elaborate trend. Cross body bags look super hot with chain straps this year, and shoes can be found with embellishments from crystal-coated to fun frills, and always with a sky high heel. And the hottest new accessory that will be on everyone’s wish list: fabulously elaborate earrings. Try an oversized Blue Topaz and Diamond Earrings or a pair of hammered Two Tone Diamond Earrings. If you are looking for a more understated look, try a Silver and Gold Earrings in a J-hoop—it will be smaller and lighter but still detailed enough for this frilly trend. We love these eccentric earrings:

             The cover of the June issue of Instyle magazine says it all: one-dimensional fashion is soooooo last season! This year, textures are what fashion is all about. Snake, ostrich or stingray skins are popping up all over for bags, shoes, accessories and yes, even for clothes. And even fascinating folds or textures in the fabrics themselves are becoming popular. The concept here is for your outfit to look simply touchable—the idea that even if the fabric itself isn’t made out of a skin or an interesting texture, that it still looks like it could be (and optical illusion prints are another fantastic trend that we will be seeing for December and into next year).  If head-to-toe snake skin isn’t your bag, just look for cool accessories that feature unique or fun textures. A Multi Color Pearl Bracelet made with baroque pearls has an organic texture that is perfect for this trend. Or try a cigar-band style Large Gold Ring with diamond cutting or a pair of Smoky Quartz Earrings that feature an exotic texture of gold or cut of stone.  We think you’ll be dying to get your hands on these textured treasures:

No one ever saw Edward Scissor Hands pursuing a career in fashion design, but if you took a look at some of the dresses and tops coming down the runways for spring 2010, you might just be convinced that old Edward was up to something. Peek-a-boo cutouts (which could possibly be inspired in part by the super-distressed jeans that have been a trend for several seasons now) are being featured on everything from party tops to evening gowns. The idea is to show a little skin where you normally wouldn’t. A slit down the sleeve of an arm or a diagonally across the stomach create an unexpected flash of skin that is sexy as well as trendy. Just make sure your cutouts highlight your best features (for example, if you have a beautiful décolleté, do a dress that has a cut out across that part of your chest), and keep this look fitted (if worn baggy, you could end up looking like your just wearing a sac with hole)!  Pair this trend with a Diamond Bangle Bracelet, a Gold Bangle Bracelet and a Two Tone Bracelet to create a little texture in the outfit, but accessories should be minimalistic, as this look is specially created for the focus to be on you! These classic bangles will work for this look and a million others:

Women will go to extreme lengths to make themselves look good. They painfully and uncomfortably wax, pull and squeeze themselves into looks that, while fabulous looking, hurt like hell. Well fashion has found compassion for those of us willing to go all the way to please the fashion gods. Comfy couture is now super cool! Forget about trying to squeeze yourself into that tight, structured dress! It’s summertime, and the livin’ is easy, so live that way! Look for pieces that you will feel comfortable in, because the last thing that is hot in fashion is that scrunchy “ I can’t fully breath” face, even if you look fabulous in that uber-fitted little number.  Look for dresses in lightweight fabrics and flowy cuts, and belt them if you want a more fitted look. Or try an oversized tee or tank in a really soft fabric (we love anything made in model!) over a pair of leggings and pair with a simple gladiator sandal. You must have heard about how hot the ‘80s are by now unless you’ve been under a rock for the better part of the last three years, so take advantage of the pajama-like feel of tees and leggings! You’ll look hot and feel like you could crawl into bed. Accessorize these looks with simple accessories that will feel easy and good to wear.  Try a light weight Gold Dangle Earring that won’t feel heavy or weigh the ear down. Add a fabulous statement ring for drama like a Rutilated Quartz Ring and a few simple Gold Bangle Bracelets and tada! You’ve got a look that is both comfy and chic! Check out these accessories that are super cute with comfy gear:

Every summer we always see certain trends return. One of these trends is nautical, with its rope-handle bags, loads of white linen, and a fabulous array of gold chain link accessories; it’s really no wonder why we love the sea come summer! Well, count this summer as no exception, as we’re wilder for the waves of summer than ever. Designers are showing lots of nautical stripes, especially on slightly oversized tanks and tees, so they’ll be perfect for layering over your jean leggings or haphazardly tucked into your favorite pair of cut-offs or a pair of light weight linen pants. Pair this look with a fabulous straw tote, or go more glam with a bright gold bag (metallic handbags and shoes are so of-the-moment!). To complete this look, make sure you have a gorgeous (and outrageously tall) pair of white or navy espadrilles, toss in a pop of red (like a simple red headband or belt for just a flash of color) and of course some fabulous bling. Try pieces with nautical textures or that feature pearls, like a South Sea Pearl Necklace, South Sea Pearl Earrings or a South Sea Pearl Ring! We love these sexy sea-worthy accessories:

The changes we’ve seen in the past 40 years that have brought us into the digital age are enormous. They’ve changed the way we view just about everything—from ipods to cell phones, and now to fashion, digital has taken over. Digital prints and geometric patterns are an increasing trend in the fashion world, and designers are mixing these prints to create even more futuristic looks. Put a high-shouldered jacket with a sequined mini skirt and a computer-generated-looking print and you couldn’t look more of-the-moment. Be careful when accessorizing jewelry with this look, as it is easy to look too fussy with so much going on with the outfit itself. A good rule of thumb is to keep the accessories simple when the outfit is more extreme, but make sure to keep them in a similar color pallet or style. Try pieces that are inspired by geometry, like a pair of Beaded Chandelier Earrings that are reminiscent of a Newton’s Cradle, a Multi Gemstone Ring with different shapes and colors of stones, or a Gold Wire Bracelet with geometric weaving throughout. These contemporary jewelry finds will effortlessly bring you into the 21^st century in style:

Those spring thunderstorms coming in from the west are bringing with them a sense of the west themselves. Cowboy couture is a new trend that has been popping up on our fashion radars lately, possibly in part inspired by the ‘80’s  motifs that have been so popular the past few years. And yes, this means leather for summer will also be super hot, and uber-trendy, too (who would have guessed!?). That’s right: tobacco-hued suede and dingy, distressed denim are just a few of the wonderful western looks that are all over most designers pallets this spring, along with calico floral prints, sweet daisy dukes and even cowboy boots, both tall and short. Tuck your jeans into your boots and pair with a tank (how easy is that!?) add some fabulous bling and you’ll look as if you stepped straight off the runway! But instead of accessorizing with spurs and holsters, may we suggest a more casual (and fashionable) alternative: The silver cuff bracelet. Wear an oversized Wide Silver Cuff Bracelet as a statement piece or layer up the look with a smaller Hinged Cuff Bracelet and a delicately engraved Silver Cuff Bracelet too! You’ll have all the cowboys callin’ with these western-inspired wonders:
