Here is what is trending this summer…
Statement Earrings
Statement earrings are the perfect way to add a unique, glamorous touch to your look. With so many different shapes, styles, sizes, and colors to choose from, the opportunities to enhance your look are endless. Whether you prefer big and bold or small and subtle, you can find an option that fits your style and budget.
Here are some tips for using statement earrings to elevate your look:
Add extra texture and color to plain, solid pattern looks.
Pair them with a simple outfit so they take center stage.
Show them off -- wear your hair up or clipped back.
Pick a color from the pattern on your clothes.
Pro Tip: Choose the right jewelry for your skin tone. Cool skin tones work best with lighter metals and gems, like white gold and silver. If you have a warm skin tone, then yellow and gold gems work best. Not sure of your skin tone, I can complete a color assessment to match you with your best colors.

A Trendy New Bag
Remember the adage quality over quantity? This applies to all aspects of your closet, including handbags.
Take some time to feel and hold the bag in person so you can see if it’s too big or too small for your preference. Consider whether it is a seasonal bag, such as a straw purse, or if you can choose a neutral color that will bring you into the Fall.
One of my favorite minimalist bags that can elevate your look in any season is the Naghedi St. Barths Tote.
Here's what I love about it...
It's chic but practical, which is key for any professional on the go!
Its water, scratch, and stain resistance means you can pack it full of snacks, drinks, makeup, and whatever else gets you through your day with a little more peace of mind.
The modern but not too trendy design is sure to stand out without ever going out of style.
The softly structured material is flattering to every size.
It comes with a removable crossbody strap, matching zippered pouch, and dust bag.
Pro Tip: If you're considering in investing in a new bag, ensure it comes with a removable crossbody strap. Attach the strap for quick trips to town. When you're sporting more elegant looks, remove it and carry the bag as a clutch.
Naghedi St. Barths Mini Plaid
Naghedi St. Barths Medium Plaid
You can find Naghedi bags directly on the brand’s website (Naghedi NYC) or at Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdales, or Amazon.
A Designer Sunhat
A hat is a timeless accessory that can add a touch of sophistication to an outfit or create a playful look for time spent at the beach. There is a ton of variety and looks when it comes to hats, so you are bound to find a look that suits your style. Even better, hats are perfect for protecting your skin from the summer UV rays. Not only do they look great, but hats can be a useful tool in keeping you safe from sunburn.
Wide-brimmed straw hats are becoming increasingly popular this summer. Whether it's simply to accessorize or for those extra long days spent in the sun, these are the perfect option for protection and style. A fedora is another go-to for fashionistas looking to make a statement with their look. Whether you want something classic or a little more funky, there's something out there for everyone!
Pro Tip: If you have a square face, try a soft, floppy hat. If you have a round face, a hat with a high crown and a wide brim will flatter your face by making it appear more angular. If you’re looking for the best hat for an oval face shape, almost any style of hat will look good on you.
