Haute Bijoux

As promised, today we are featuring some unique finds to put the icing on your cake. I'm talking about accessories and more specifically...JEWELRY. A woman can never have enough, in my opinion. I'm not referring to fancy gems either. Summer is a great time to stash your pearls and bring out the fashion pieces. Since tribal fashion has been the main theme of my last two posts, I'm going to carry it into this post as well. Here are some treasures that made me drool:

Saltwater Cowgirl's "Faith" Necklace

Made of black bamboo coral beads and turquiose, this playful piece would look fabulous with the strapless knotted dress in the previous post!

Astali's Peacock Earrings:

Made of real peacock feathers and black swarovski crystals. Pair them with any outfit for a touch of elegant whimsy!

Maric Turquoise and Copper Bracelet:

A simple piece of wearable art made in France! Check out Maric's Etsy shop for more tres chic designs!

Tribal Style and Other Trends

As you may have noticed from the Fancy Feet post, the tribal theme is haute in the fashion hierarchy this summer. Now that your feet have been well dressed, let's move on to the main attraction. I'm talking about the sundress, summer's perfect staple and also a huge trend (Paris Hilton's new word is "HUGE".) It matters not your body shape when wearing a sundress because of their forgiving lines and the are perfect for almost any occasion (with the exception of formal events, of course.) Let's look at a few of this season's choice picks:

Guess: Yuki dress
Gap: Pintuck A line dress

Guess: Padma dress

Old Navy: Linen Tie Front Dress


Guess: Nyla Maxi dress

Gap: Pom Pom dress

Unique-Vintage: Va Va by Voom dress

Tomorrow, we accessorize!

Fancy Feet

The sun is out, butterflies are hatching out of cocoons and the beaches are filling up with sun seekers. BUT, the thing that I love most about summer is the sandal shopping! This year, fashion leans toward tribal style and wedges or flats. Here are a few of my faves under $70 that I found at my most frequented online shoe shops, Old Navy, Piperlime and Nordstrom.

Unlisted: Nothin But Net $45.00 (found at Piperlime)

Chinese Laundry: Resume $59.99 (Piperlime) Jessica Simpson: Galias $68.95 (Nordstrom)

Pierre Dumas: Viviana $40.00 (Piperlime)

Restricted: Sioux $50.00 (Piperlime)

Mia: Suri $69.99 (Piperlime)

Jewel Stone T-strap $19.50 (Old NAVY) Looking for a pair indulgent sandals and willing to spend a little more? Try these Juicy Couture Kipper Wedges at Nordstrom. They are sure to bring out your inner vixen!


Pair any of these beauties with a sundress for a mom's night out or keep them casual with a flounce top and denim mini skirt. The versatility of sandals gives us endless possibilities. Now get out there and SHOP!

Gonna make my brow eyes blue!

I am saying this in the sweetest way possible... dark, bushy eyebrows are only acceptable if you are doing a Groucho Marx impersonation. That's it. Plain and simple. Originally, I was going to post on trending nail polish colors, but when I went to read Glamour's latest article on color, I saw this:

As an appointed Glambassador, it is my moral obligation to point out this major fashion no-no. I was so distracted by this poor girl's unsightly brows, that I could not even rememeber what color she was wearing! At second glance, I realized that her polish job was an inverted manicure. Then I noticed her beautiful blue eyes. What a shame that those baby blues who overshadowed by the bushy browns. Not pretty. I know that some would disagree with my stance, but it is my stance and this is my blog...and so it shall be.

As a general rule, eyebrows are meant to frame your face, not take over. Please ladies, let's keep them groomed and in proportion to our profiles. Other examples of brows that would benefit from a little pruning inlcude:

Beautiful women, beautiful brow shapes, but too much of anything is well...too much.
