The Jewels: "Flanked by Floral"

MSGM White Shift | Guerlain Bronzer Compact | Shu Uemura Lipstick | Cut-out Clutch | Michael Kors Wedge

An all-time favorite summer combination? Turquoise and white! This airy cotton shift is a sweet statement while these gorgeous jewels add color and a hint of vintage charm, keeping in line with the old school simplicity of a summer sundress. The extra appeal? The contrast of a white ensemble usually makes you look like you have a bit of summer glow! And a nice sweep or two of a bronzer (such as this one from Guerlain) certainly helps as well.

Our Summer 2013 Collection embodies the simple summer pleasure of a picnic--combining a bit of luxury with the ease of the outdoors and the vibrant colors that come from the happy experience of enjoying life on a beautiful summer day.  The Elva Gals gathered jewels and good food, heading to nearby Taylorsville Lake for a greenest-grass perch with a waterfront view.  

Each Elva Gal contributed part of the meal (avocado chicken salad, fruit skewers, and homemade raspberry lemonade headlined the list)  while some local goodies mixed in to the menu, including cookies from local eatery The Tea Cup and Louisville-bottled Rooibee Red Tea.  (We even incorporated some dining nostalgia with plates from one Elva Gal's childhood!)  It was an afternoon of swapped stories, enjoying the breeze, and soaking up some sunshine on a colorful quilt...and we're already planning our next picnic.

Enjoy the Collection...and stay tuned for our next adventure in July!

Loving these bright tomato beads, paired with this gorgeous nail color bringing in bursts of color to this neutral maxi dress.

It's due time to take a walk on the wild side! Or, at least, to put a toe over the line... Get in touch with all things exotic with a hint of Tribal! It's amazing, anything with a tribal print, style, or embellishment always makes for an automatic standout... But no need to get out the bongo drums and dance around the fire pit just yet, these simple touches of tribal will give you just enough flair, no war paint required.
