When the weather starts to get warm and all we can think about is the amazing feeling of throwing on an easy, light, playful dress…we instantly start thinking about how we can accessorize with as little effort as possible. The minute we caught a glimpse of Erin Håkansson’s BRILLIANT reversible necklace, we knew it was the one we had been looking for all our lives. The perfect summer accessory. The ability to create countless looks by throwing one piece in our weekender…simply fabulous. Try the Aquamarine & Sterling version for an easy $300 to brighten up any look or the gorgeous Sapphire & Citrine as more of a seasonless investment piece. I mean when can’t you find a reason to throw on the perfect mix of Navy & Gold classic scrumptiousness? Love it.

It didn’t take long after being introduced to Opensky.com that we became completely addicted. The recently revamped site brilliantly merges our two loves, celebrity tastemakers and flash sales! The gist is…upon signing up to become a member, you can check out and choose a select group of celeb curators across a bevy of genres from food & health to fashion & home. Your curators will then introduce you to their favorite of-the-moment things and offer you the ability to purchase them at some pretty steep discounts. Pretty damn awesome. We’re currently loving Kelly Bensimon and Liz Lange & Jane Wagman, who, just in time for summer, have introduced us to some pretty fantastic beach wears. The Article 22 Paris Shopper Tote miraculously became $95 (from $180) and one of our faves, Roberta Chiarella, is offering her fab Capri necklace for just $42 – insanity. The goods sell out pretty fast so don’t waste any time and definitely check daily for new picks.

We are not playing tricks on you…these are actual Vans made from vintage Hermes Scarves, created for celeb stylist Robert Verdi, could you die?

Summer is all about color. Especially this season. We have yet to find a better way to delicately incorporate an array of bold colors in to our summer wardrobes than the gorgeous handmade jewelry of Nicola Yoon. Every piece is simply beautiful – elegant enough to wear at night, simple enough to wear every day, and somehow adding the perfect pop of color to every look in the most understated way. And at prices that range from $40-$600, there is definitely a piece for everything from graduation gift to treating yourself to a little something new. We couldn’t even begin to choose our favorites so you’ll have to check out the rest of the collection on nicolayoon.com.
