Have you had enough winter to last a life time? Then let’s think spring…colors that is. InStyle magazine has a monthly feature that highlights a color and then additional colors that it works well with and now, that feature is available as an app. I can already feel the sunshine when I focus on the bright colors of mandarin, poppy and marigold.
Love the pairings of lime and fuchsia with poppy.

Do you ever feel that your week is tumbling out of control? That describes my week…too much to do and not enough week. That may be why the page of rings in the latest InStyle appealed to me. They appear to be tumbling off the page. A great deal of inspiration here, that could be translated in a multitude of ways.

This striking cuff from Blu Bijoux caught my eye. As I read further, I realized that the materials were all sitting in my studio…faux agate…hammered metal cuff…silver plated wire…WE CAN DO THIS!!! “Spice up your look with this magnificent blue faux agate wire cuff from Blu Bijoux. The cuff is full of spunky personality. Not for the faint of heart, the bracelet prominently features a simulated blue agate stone which sits on top of a wide silver plated cuff. Silver plated wire literally ties the two elements together.”

Roll on over to Rachel Leigh for one of InStyle’s August Steals and Deals…$53.20 for this ring. The Steals and Deals page of this issue has quite a few noteworthy designs. Take time to scroll through for more inspiration.

Continuing our week of color…follow this InStyle link to see more of the spring ‘brights’. “Forget any shade that is dusty or muted. Spring is all about the-bolder-the-better brights. But what really sets these colors aglow are the unexpected combinations: pink, orange, and deep purple; turquoise and taxi cab yellow; lime and emerald green. It’s this palette of knockout hues that creates such a range of riveting contrasts.”
Love the earrings from Miu-Miu.

If money were no object is the title of a jewelry collection at instyle.com. OH MY!!! I only made it through the first four items and the total was over $40,000. I had trouble deciding between the Lucifer Vir Honestus earrings and the Kara Ross NY puzzle necklace…so they are both featured. Have fun spending ‘virtual’ dollars.

If
you read this blog with any regularity you will notice…I LOVE BANGLES!!! When I saw this ‘stack’ of bangles on the InStyle website I knew it was post material.
You will see more work by some of the artists featured in this photo in the next few days.

This cuff from Miriam Haskell jumped off the page of dramatic gold cuff bracelets…of course, it was the most expensive on the page also…$570. I love the description: “Layers of Russian gold plated brass petals, filigrees and findings handwired onto cuff bracelet. Width of bracelet is 3 inches with a 1.75″ opening. The inside is lined with navy blue faux suede.”
