It’s almost summertime! May is here, and we are continuing to invest in lifelong handbags, jewelry, and shoes. Also, keep stocking up on classic clothing, but add some fun colors to the mix!

Bright hues are hot for summer. Pull out your bright blues, greens, pinks, yellow, orange, and red. Pops of color are “popping” up all over for the summer season. This not the season to dress in monochrome neutrals. Add a pop of color with nail polish, a handbag, or a new top! Love!

Designer or Deal Brooch: designer brooch / affordable brooch /

The brooch is back! I am so excited this timeless look is back on the runway and about to return to the streets. The brooch is a beautiful jewelry piece which can be worn on one’s lapel or dress. it instantly dresses up a solid color garment or adds personality to an otherwise conservative look. While wearing a brooch is considered a classic look, they swing in and out of popularity. This year, the brooch was all over the runway, making it very popular and a huge emerging trend. Love that!

You can wear any type of brooch. Some brooches will be fun, such as a bird or fruit, other brooches will be a beautiful, symmetrical or asymmetrical design. You can find brooches with jewels, faux jewels, or in solid metal. The designs are endless.

My favorite brooches are vintage, but I also love costume jewelry versions of the brooch. The classic style shown above can be worn with almost anything and will be easy to wear year after year. The question is, would you perfect the designer version or the more affordable version?
