Summer VI

It's miserably hot- jewelry should not require effort to dress up to it and should not make you sweat.  On go strings of beads and dangling earrings, anklets and jingling ethnic things that effortlessly accentuate gauzy dresses and flip flops, and the next thing you know, you're channeling Stevie Nicks!  Fortunately she's gorgeous and has a great sense of style.       

These might help you spin ethereally in gauze:

12 precious stone, 10 kt gold ring by Hot Rox Bones and Stones at www.hotroxbonesandstones.com

18 kt and silk earrings by Caroline Bucci on www.netaporter.com; these could be a DIY.

Did you see Sid and Nancy?  Remember the scene where Nancy sees her reflection and stops fighting with Sid?  She tears her clothes off in the street, screaming, "I look like Stevie Nicks!"  A classic.  If you are a nihilistic punk rocker, don't buy these jewels.  

That's it for the summer jewelry series.  I hope you enjoyed it.  Send photos of you in your summer jewels on your summer vacation, and I'll post them!  Remember to wear sunscreen and drink lots of water!
