In this blog, I will discuss standard summer styles that appear every summer. You can’t go wrong wearing any of these trends any summer of any year!

Turquoise Jewelry

I can’t express how much I LOVE the color turquoise and turquoise jewelry. This color in jewelry tends to make its way around every summer and you won’t hear me complaining! However, be careful when wearing turquoise jewelry; too much of it can really go overboard. Just a little punch or splash of turquoise here and there is all you need.

Sandals, Flip Flops & Platforms

Flip flops tend to be everyone’s summer basic. They have really glammed up over the years. But, beside the old faithful, sandals and platforms have become the fancy favorites of summer. Sandals and platforms are the alternative if you are not a flip flop fan. Below, I have chosen your basic flip flop and some cute summer platforms as an example.

This blog will be a multiple part series. The first part I will talk about the summer styles of 2011. Then the next edition will be about standard summer styles; styles that come back every summer and how you can never go wrong wearing them.

Let’s talk shoes!

Grecian and Roman style sandals are in this year! Otherwise known as "Gladiator Shoes" to many. They began with the more modernized form, starring a high heel. But now, for the summer, low setting sandals like the ones below are all the rage! You can find them at any shoe store.

Charlotte Russe, Stone Embellished Gladiator Sandal

Montego Bay Club-Popstar Embellished Gladiator Sandal, Payless Shoes

Montego Bay Club-Totally Tubular Gladiator Sandal, Payless Shoes

Forever 21, Three Strap Sandal

Braided Belts

Braided belts have been around for a while. It made an appearance and then just kind of stuck around in the back ground. Not everyone is a fan of breaded belts, but they seem to be shining a little more this season. These braided belts have more of a modern twist than the ones you would find in your mom’s closet.

Coral, the color, not the sea reef…

Coral is VERY hot this season. It is found in jewelry, dresses, tops, pants, shoes, scarves…you name it and this color has marked it. It is a very beautiful summer color. I personally LOVE coral colored jewelry.
