Lately I’ve been rocking my Rachel Abroms‘ leather wrap bracelet. It’s perfect for spring—I love the idea of the chunky beading and cuff like quality in contrast with a sweet, innocent dress. The other day someone actually said: “Where did you get those bracelets?” As in Plural. That’s the great thing about the piece, you can wrap it anyway you want and make it look like you’re either wearing many bracelets or one large, funky bracelet. I heard some people even wear them as necklaces.

As a spring treat, Rachel is giving all our readers a 20% twenty percent discount off her entire collection. Check out her web site: www.rachelabromsstudio.com and enter beyond beauty basics at checkout to save. I took advantage of this deal and bought my mother a wrap bracelet for her birthday, but one of the smaller stoned versions because she has tiny wrists. I’ll let you know if she likes it!

What’s the perfect accessory that goes with all of your gladiator sandals this summer? Color, color, color on your toes! And even more color on your finger tips! Essie has launched its summer collection and I am loving all of the bold and delicious bright neon color!The summer calls for bright colored dresses and even brighter toes. The new Essie Neon Collection will rock your summer with color and attitude.

With names like Bermuda Shorts, Short Shorts, Mini Shorts, and Shorty Pants… your toes will definitely get the attention they deserve. I also love these colors for your nails. Bermuda Shorts is my favorite! I love the depth of the purple and it’s the pop of color I need for all of my summer wardrobe.

Get creative with your nails, that old pink and white French is so last year, try to add your own flavor by mixing and matching your faves. I love Short Shorts as a base color all over the nail and use the Short Pants yellow as your line at the end for the hottest new French manicure of the season!

Just have fun, your nails are an accessory to your outfit and moods so let your individual style shine through. Enjoy!

The summer is here and the sun is stronger than ever! Not to worry, hats are making a huge comeback this season and the trend is the bigger the better. I think Samantha on Sex and the City proves it in her huge woven sun hat on her deck she used to cover her face while checking out her gorgeous neighbor.

Hats are your summer accessory must have, but are a totally personal choice to how you want to show off your style. Here are some of our favorites that help give you some ideas.
The Kokin Floppy Ribbon Hat comes in black or white trim and you can find it at Bergdorf Goodman. It is absolutely fabulous and extremely durable, this will last all season into next!
The Juicy Couture Visor is so cute and can be worn with just about anything! You will definitely be the cutest girl out on the golf course with this sassy pink hat. Remember, hats are very personal, so style it up the way you want to show off.

Don’t forget about the summer must have! The Fedora Hat! All the celebs are sporting this one on set, off set, shopping, whatever! It is such a great way to cover up a bad hair day!

…and with Indiana Jones being all the rage among the guys, a fedora for him isn’t a bad idea at all!

I know that I, personally, don’t think that everyone needs to know everything about me. If I’m wearing my signature scent, I would like to keep it MY signature scent! Here’s the perfect way to keep it that way. With these atomizers, you can fill them with whatever you’d like and be on your way. When you’re in the ladies lounge and

someone asks what fragrance your wearing (because it’s not on any label), you say…It was made for me, personally.

The other idea that they’re giving for these atomizers that I love is to carry them filled with your favorite mouthwash. How cool would it be to pull out this pretty atomizer for mouthwash?

One for you, two for me.
