MET-inspired gold snake bracelets

So I recently headed up to the MET to check out the new “Model as Muse” exhibit. Seriously, I almost died. After getting yelled at by security for trying to take a non-flash photo with my iPhone, I realized that I’ve never wanted to take pictures of anything else quite so much. I left feeling inspired and got a nice jolt that made me remember why I love fashion so much. Since I was already there, I also decided to check out some the other regular exhibits and I stumbled across this amazing ancient Greek snake bracelet. I immediately came home and started a search to find a similar, maybe even cuter, gold snake bracelet that isn’t dated B.C. Check out what I found…

Leopard print beach accessories to die for

So

this summer, pretend you’re on a safari and go wild at the beach. These leopard print beach-friendly pieces are just the right amount of leopard, no furry dice allowed. Whether you’re covering up your head, body or feet, you’ll be sure to look wild and chic in any of these summer “safari” essentials. No fuss, no muss. And remember- don’t wear more than one piece at a time and nothing with faux fur allowed.

CHANEL and Venice, Italy join forces?!

So two of my favorite passions just so happened to cross paths a few days ago – CHANEL and Venice, Italy. Yes, you are correct, CHANEL hosted their 2010 Cruise Collection runway show on the gorgeous Lido Beach in Venice and I’m practically melting while checking out the images. As Rachel Zoe would say, “I die.” I would also die for some of my favorite Venetian gelato. See my favorite looks below and take note of the last photo where the model holds CHANEL sunglasses as if it were a Venetian ask…L-O-V-E.

Essie & Havaianas…the perfect couple.

So I’m all about flip flops…especially when bright nailpolish is involved. Check out Essie’s new Neon Collection 2009. I’m especially partial to “Perky Purple” and “Funky Limelight.” Havaianas also came out with the new “Fit” line…pretty much the same as before only better because they have a strap in the back for extra control. Love it. Love summer. Can’t wait to wear them together.

Jennifer Zeuner initial necklace

So, as always, I love Lauren Conrad’s jewelry. This necklace by Jennifer Zeuner comes in both gold and silver and in two sizes…I found the smaller version here for only $180 compared to the larger version which is available here for a hefty $275.
