It is no secret that floral prints, bright colors and emerald green are hot for spring/summer 2013. While an easy way  to wear florals is on a dress, and an easy way to wear bright colors is with neutrals, sometimes it is fun to pair the two together and create a bright, floral ensemble!

I love Naya Shoes. This short wedge sandal from the eco-chic company’s spring/summer 2013 collection is easy to wear with lightweight fabric dresses, jeans, skinnies and of course, summer shorts! Every shoe made by Naya Shoes is Eco Chic and made from eco-conconscious materials in an eco-consciouc fashion. Love that!

The “Helena,” pictured here in Taupe/Coffee, is a classic sandal with just enough of a wedge to add a little bit of height to my 5’4″ frame. They are also very comfortable 

Cross Body bags for summer 2013

Summer is fast approaching and this means Fashionistas everywhere will be on the go for the warm weather season. When you are on the go, the last thing you want to fiddle with is a clunky handbag! This means the best option for hitting amusement parks, county fairs, local zoos and more is the cross body handbag.

Cross body handbags come is many shapes and sizes according to what you need. If you need to carry a water bottle, snacks for the kids and more, then a large cross body bag is the way to go. If all you need is cash, credit cards, keys and your mobile device, then you can get away with a small and petite cross body bag. If you are planning a vacation and need the ease of a cross body bag for daytime yet the sophistication of a clutch for evening, then a convertible cross body is the best option.

The cross body bag has gained in popularity over the past few seasons and is showing no sign of slowing down. This versatile handbag style can be spotted every season on both the runways and the street. Look for a fun color to add pop to a neutral outfit or sass to an already color filled ensemble. For more practical use, opt for a neutral color such as black, brown or cream. (Hint) A neutral cross body bag will be easy to use for traveling and offers cross-season appeal.

We included a few fabulous cross body bags around the web and included them in this article.

The Wilma collection by Twisted Silver adds flair to spring 2013

The Mod trend is hot this spring and summer. No question about it. This trend is taking off and variations of the Mod trend can be seen through color blocking, prints and patterns. One of the amazing facts about the Mod trend is that it is fun and lighthearted; making it a delightful look to put together.

Since the Mod trend includes bright colors and bold patterns as well as geometry, the accessories used to complete the look need to be equally kitschy. Twisted Silver has solved the accessories question through their new “Wilma” collection which not only works perfectly with the Mod trend, color blocking, patterns and prints. The bracelet, which features large, round spheres is an extra-large version of Twisted Silver’s older “Wilma” bracelet worn by celebrities and Fashionistas alike. Love that!

This lightweight collection looks amazing for daytime events as well as evening occasions. The necklace can easily be worn once or twice around the neck in order to compliment your mood or neckline. Love that! The earrings also look amazing worn alone with a turtleneck; especially if you are visiting the snow.

Of course, the “Wilma” collection can also be worn casually; adding a bit of flair to any weekend ensemble. Love that!

The “Wilma” collection is available online at Twisted-Silver.com and is priced at $50-$100. Use coupon code INSIDERS for a 15% discount. Happy shopping, and stay fabulous
