Bright colors, pointed toes and 1980’s inspiration

Pattern, bright colors, pointed toes and 1980’s silhouettes are all hot trends for spring/summer 2013. These are trends which I love! I decided to mix them all together, which this Milly dress helped me do  , and bright out the color of 2013 through accessories. What is your favorite way to mix these trends for spring?

It is no secret that floral prints, bright colors and emerald green are hot for spring/summer 2013. While an easy way  to wear florals is on a dress, and an easy way to wear bright colors is with neutrals, sometimes it is fun to pair the two together and create a bright, floral ensemble!

I love Naya Shoes. This short wedge sandal from the eco-chic company’s spring/summer 2013 collection is easy to wear with lightweight fabric dresses, jeans, skinnies and of course, summer shorts! Every shoe made by Naya Shoes is Eco Chic and made from eco-conconscious materials in an eco-consciouc fashion. Love that!

The “Helena,” pictured here in Taupe/Coffee, is a classic sandal with just enough of a wedge to add a little bit of height to my 5’4″ frame. They are also very comfortable 

Twisted Silver offers the perfect summer staple; the Crush necklace

Dainty jewelry was spotted all over the fall 2013 runways in London, New York, Paris and Milan. This trend towards smaller baubles has resonated with jewelry fans everywhere and offers the perfect option for pairing jewelry with summer 2013’s loud prints and bold color trends. After all, who wants to overwhelm a fabulous floral dress with a gigantic necklace?! Not me! And not you!

The new “Crush” necklace from Twisted Silver is the perfect answer to the current trend towards smaller jewelry. This beautiful silver bead necklace offers an adjustable length and brass details which make it work perfectly with both yellow and white metals. The necklace also offers a small brass pendent with a glass bead which offers an artistic and edgy look to the otherwise basic piece. Love that!

The “Crush” necklace works perfectly with the current blouse trend as it easily peeks through a blouse which has one-two buttons undone. The necklace also works well with V-necks and summer dress necklines. When fall approaches, Twisted Silver’s “Crush” necklace will work perfectly over turtle necks and with sweaters. This can easily be a signature and staple piece in anyone’s wardrobe. Love it!

The “Twisted” tag on the “Crush” necklace can easily be worn in the front or back, adding versatility to the look of the necklace. The “Crush” necklace can also be wrapped around the wrist and stacked with other bracelets for a casual look. Three pieces in one! Fabulous!

The “Crush” necklace by Twisted Silver is priced at $40 and can be found online at Twisted-Silver.com. Use coupon code INSIDERS for a 15% discount. Happy shopping, and stay fabulous
