Trend of the Week... Summer Florals

Summer Florals are popping up everywhere from skirts to shoes to scarves!

Everyone needs their summer floral staple and you don’t have to spend a fortune to be on trend... pick up the trend with clothing or accessories. Get on the trend and update your closet with something floral!

Ways to make Summer Florals look fun and fresh:

*Add a blazer to your floral frock

*Toughen up the look with leather heels and a belt

*Let the prints do the talking.. keep makeup clean and no fuss hair
*Keep it simple with nude accessories

Nothing quite says Summer like blooming bright florals!

Instant Update: Jeweled Necklaces....

Make a statement with a NECKLACE...

Any outfit whether it be jeans and a tee or a LBD.... gets an instant boost with an eye catching necklace! Whether these accessories are made from semi-precious gems, less expensive stones or even real diamonds, the focus is more on the design itself than how expensive it is. The bottom line is that the statement necklace is a something everyone should have in their jewelry box.... but remember to keep the rest of the outfit simple, the necklace needs to make the statement!
