Twisted Silver has done it again! The fabulous Bay Area jeweler has designed a classic necklace which can be worn casual with denim (as in the above photos) or as the perfect touch to a timeless, little black dress. Love this!

The “Elegance” necklace by Twisted Silver is made from vintage crystal and glass beads on an antiqued brass chain. The vintage beads feature soft shades of bluish-grey, amber, green and white. This allows the “Elegance” necklace by Twisted Silver to easily pair with any of fall 2013’s color trends as well color trends in future seasons.

I adore this classic necklace and find it is the perfect way to spice up a casual, weekend look. When the fall season hits, I plan on wearing the “Elegance” necklace from Twisted Silver with dressier looks and tailored pieces. Love it!

We have been having warm and sunny weather this summer here in the San Francisco Bay Area. One of my favorite ways to stay cool in the heat is with lightweight fabric in a light color. This blouse, sent to me by Wallis, fits the bill perfectly. The fabric is lightweight; and white happens to be the coolest color in warm weather! Love that!

This Wallis blouse offers a loose silhouette and a flattering drape. The 3/4 sleeves protect me from the sun, yet keep me cool at the same; and of course allow me to show off some arm candy! I also adore the silver studded design around the split-neck which adds interest to the front of the blouse.

Of course, anything white is versatile! The quiet silver studs combined with the flattering fit of this Wallis blouse make it easy to wear with shorts, pants, slim skirts or as a swimsuit cover-up.

In the photos above I am showing my two favorite ways to wear this blouse. To learn more about Wallis, one of my favorite new ways to shop online, please visit Wallis.com.

The key to a casual summer

July is always an interesting month. The weather hovers in the 80’s and 90’s while stores begin to stock fall merchandise designed to keep you warm when temperatures fall below 50 degrees. As my eyes grow accustomed to a fall color palette due to my line of work, I start looking for warm weather clothing in colors which blend well with fall. This dress caught my eye at Target. For only $29.99 I could have a lightweight summer dress in a beautiful fall hue. Love! I also knew right away it would be perfect to pair with Twisted Silver’s new “Key” necklace.

Twisted Silver’s new “Key” necklace is a long, casual necklace which features an authentic vintage skeleton key. I love long necklaces in the summer because they spice up warm weather, casual ensembles. Summer is always a difficult season for dressing since the weather is so hot! Twisted Silver’s new “Key” necklace is the ultimate key to adding style during the summer when wearing lightweight, warm weather clothing. Love!

Since we have fog in the morning here in the San Francisco Bay Area, this denim jacket topped off the casual look. Of course, the jacket comes off as soon as the fog burns off and temperatures soar past 80 degrees!
