Turquoise And Marine

Memorial Day Weekend has arrived, the traditional starting point of the summer fashion season. I don't know about you, but I already wore white two weeks ago, gasp! This season is ripe for a true turquoise revival, but I'll be mixing it up with deeper shades of marine blue for a fresh take on a classic summer look. You can see what I mean with this BCBG ombre gown and APART swirl patterned top, which artfully blend shades of turquoise with ultramarine blue to stunning effect. Wear either with my Blue Is Versatile Wrap Bracelet, a cluster of tonal blue stones on suede cord you can wrap around your wrist or wear as a necklace.

Cynthia Rybakoff POP collection oxidized sterling silver and semi-precious stone bracelet available at Supermarket and recently featured on Kitten Lounge.

Silver Lining

I scored this fab silver sequin Shimmer Blazer last night at APART showroom's Splashion Soiree event. There was great shopping at amazing prices, and the APART team did a bang up job on the nibbles, including cupcakes Baked by Melissa. The always lovely Kimmie Smith of Kitten Lounge was on hand for styling tips, looking fabulous as usual. What's more fun than shopping with treats and cocktails?

Well Wed

Last May, I had the pleasure of attending a truly spectacular Hamptons wedding. Planned with impeccable taste, the reception was a lavish at home affair, yet filled with plenty of down to earth details, like old fashioned cocktails served in drinking jars on the back deck and tables named after popular Hampton surfing beaches. There was comfort food on the menu and the bride and groom drove from the church to the reception in a vintage Land Rover. Check out more stylish Hamptons weddings in the new issue of WellWed magazine.
