One Shoulder Dresses

The fun thing about summer is that even on dress-up occasions, you can still get away with an element of fun. One of the pieces that exemplifies this is this Kelly B Alana One-Shoulder Dress. In elegant, goes-with-everything black, this one-shouldered beauty has a double layer ruffle in front and over the shoulder. It is made from luxurious 92% hemp, 8% spandex (dress) and 90% Modal 10% silk (ruffle). $128

Marc by Marc Jacobs Handbags

The Posh Turnlock Dot handbag from Marc by Marc Jacobs is a different look for a summer handbag, in stone-colored crinkled shiny leather. It is large enough to hold all your gear: iPhone, Blackberry, lipstick, sunglasses, wallet, and even a bottle of water. The platform bottom has feet to protect the bag from scuffs. Dual handles drop by 6 inches, and the bag is also available in indigo blue. The top zips shut, and the front flap pocket has a signature Marc by Marc Jacobs turnlock. $375.00

Hoop Earrings

With your hair in a summer-perfect updo and with the one-shouldered dress, your neck and shoulders will be emphasized. You can add even more glamour with the right pair of earrings, like these Melissa Joy Manning Triangle Hoop Earrings in 14K yellow gold. This is a new take on the classic hoop earring, with a rounded triangle shape. The diameter at the widest point measures 1 ½ inches. $163

Three Pieces that Work for Summer’s Hot Looks

Posted on 15 June 2009 by Angelique

Dark, skinny jeans are a big trend this summer, especially when worn with heels and a flirty, flowy top. Shoes this season are all about platforms and heels. Paired with the right jeans, they can make legs appear extra long and lean. And feminine jewelry is coming on strong, too. The gladiator cuff may look great for a night in a club, but sometimes nothing but sweet femininity will do.
