I’m sure none of us expected this blast from the past to return, but these asymmetrical pieces with goddess appeal are bombarding the style scene this summer!

Busy neckwear is a no-no with these cutting edge necklines, however, a pair of large statement earrings, an eye-catching ring and a dramatic clutch are a definite yes. For an evening event, tap into a darker, more glamorous look with a playful hint of metallics. And if you’re thinking about flaunting a one shoulder dress during a summer’s day, choose a lighter and brighter look, topping it off with some neutral espadrilles and a wicker clutch.

These single-strapped dresses are elegant, sexy, and versatile!

    This summer, the arm is getting some much needed attention. Bigger bracelets have resurfaced, and will adorn the arms of countless women. Styles like the cuff and the bangle really accentuate some of the styles for the season. It’s also a really easy way to update your look, without spending a lot of money. Designers like CC Skye, Isharya, Tory Burch, Roberto Cavalli, Banana Republic, and J. Crew have all embraced this trend. So, no matter what your price point, you can grab a great one. Imagine the white CC Skye cuff with a T-bags maxi dress - an outfit that is perfect for dinner by the beach.  Or the black Tory Burch cuff, which compliments the modern design of the Philip Lim top. It’s an easy trend to make work, without a ton of lost time figuring out what to wear it with. Which cuff is your favorite?
