Still looking for a way to rock this season’s sunny yellow? How about the “Saigon Glazed Linen Camilla” bag from Rafe New York?

Summery, trendy and big enough to carry your cell phone and a book to the beach :-)

Okay, I just couldn’t let this one go… Sarah Jessica Parker wore this hat to the London premier of the new Sex and the City movie:

I like hats.
Honestly I do…
But this hat is just so over the top outrageous - now, I realize that her character, Carrie Bradshaw is a serious fashionista - but the hat is too much!
What’s the phrase? “There’s no such thing as bad publicity….”

I think everyone knows by now that I have a soft spot for wicker purses, but I hadn’t come across wicker bracelets before:

Carole Cole, an accessories designer from Oregon, creates these woven bracelets from rattan (the same material that wicker furniture & baskets are made from). They are also amazing inexpensive - about $10 per bracelet!

The Beauty & Style channel is having a cancer-awareness month so I thought I really should join in! After all, you can protect yourself and shop for accessories - it’s the perfect combination :-)
Sun hats are a great way to keep the sensitive skin around your face protected (and reduce wrinkles too!). The “Squishee” sun hat from Eric Javits is a breathable mix of cotton, rayon, vicose and nylon and is made in the USA!

Sunglasses are another must-have - they’ll help prevent premature aging, skin cancer and even cataracts. Make sure that your sunnies have both UVB & UVA protection though.
I personally like wraparound shades like these Gucci horse bit sunglasses:

Prefer your sunnies a little bigger? How about the over-size Fendi buckle sunglasses?

My flowers are finally starting to bloom in my garden which inspired me to look for something appropriately cheerful & flowery today… I think the “Happy Flower” cuff bracelet from Rimistyle fits the bill:

It even comes in different colors!

I’m lusting after this resin & Zebrawood pendant from Garnish Home:

It’s made from recycled Zebrawood, that would normally just be thrown away by the furniture manufacturers. Earth-friendly and cool - what a great combination!

Normally, when I think of Frye, I think of chunky leather boots - not these dainty metallic leather “Moonglow“ sandals:

It’s nice to be surprised :-)
