You’ve got another party to go to, and you’ve run out of Summer ideas. Don’t be afraid to pull out your favorite black dress. The way to work a black dress into Summer style is with accessories. Go for a Grecian sun-kissed look. Black will simply glow with brushed gold accents. Pull your hair up with modern edge, and now this dress works from the suburbs to the city. Another way to dress your black dress for Summer is to kick it up with some color. Bring the color of the sea to the dress by popping on some refined turquoise earrings. Mix pieces of white and gold in for a polished look. A creamy white clutch will give it an elegant summer edge. Pull your curled hair back loosely so the pieces fall gracefully from your face. You’ll be relaxed and refined, and people will naturally be drawn to you. It’s not always about buying something new to wear. Sometimes it’s about redefining what you already have.

    You can practically feel the warmth of the sun when you look at Marco Bicego’s jewelry. While the collection is from Italy, it exudes a Grecian spirit. Each piece is lit from within as if Apollo, God of the Sun, himself had a hand in its creation. It’s the type of jewelry you would expect to see on women wandering through the town of Thera, on the island of Santorini. It expresses effortless, everyday, luxurious style. You can wear his jewelry with everything from a chic maxi dress, to a beautiful bathing suit by the beach. The collection is perfectly suited for the summer months, when the sun’s rays reflect a light that makes everything look gilded. The pieces will compliment not only your glowing skin, but your wardrobe as well. I’m loving this illuminating look, and the feeling it gives off. I’m thinking a Marco Bicego bracelet would make an excellent Mother’s Day gift! What do you think? I know, I know, I should stop dreaming! Hopefully, some of you will get the chance to glisten wearing Marco Bicego’s fabulous collection.
