Deciding which dress to slip into for a summer party shouldn’t be what’s first on your mind. The summer’s the best time to relax and go with the flow as much as possible. When it comes to accessorizing your outfit, you can take this advice to heart even more. The right jewelery should flatter your outfit and enhance your look. If you take a beautiful draped dress like this one from Alberta Ferretti’s Resort 2009 Collection and pair it with the perfect jewelry, you’ll feel as stunning as you’ll look.

Presh Gold Chain Citrine Hoop Earrings have a beautiful eye-catching design that will easily make you the center of attention. We love the chain embellishment on the interior of each hoop, and the beautiful citrine gemstone only sweetens the appeal of these hoop earrings. If you’d like to add a splash of color, try one of Presh’s other hoop earrings, the Presh Gold Chain Aquamarine Hoop Earrings.

Alex and Ani Gold Euphrates Beaded Expandable Wire Bangles are perfect if you’re feeling like being flirtatious because these are the type of fun bracelets that will strengthen your confidence. The Kenneth Jay Lane Gold Flower Ring has the undeniable allure that will make your friends lust over your ring and admirers to drift closer. There’s nothing a girl loves more than feeling beautiful and this gorgeous 18k yellow gold ring does just that so well.

The Rebecca Norman Disk Necklace is extremely stylish, and the necklace’s design also manages to be unusual, something we love about our jewelry. The textured surface of the gold vermeil nekclace infuses an outfit with a bit of intrigue, something that will do wonders for a dress like this one by Alberta Ferreti. There are so many ways that you can incorporate a piece of personalized jewelry into your outfit, and layering it with a similar necklace will create a cool effect. Pair the Rebecca Norman necklace with this personalized Emily & Ashley XS Monogram Necklace. The 14k yellow gold monogram pendant is so elegant and beautiful you’ll find yourself reluctant to take it off at the end of the night.

We love the fall and spring lines designers produce effortlessly twice a year, but we have our reasons for falling head over heels for the resort collections too. The Resort 2009 collections are spectacular this year. It’s versatile and chic, and the abundance of lightweight fabrics are perfect for the warm weather. It’s not a stretch imagining going to a Hamptons Barbeque, a Jersey Shore bonfire, a Miami club, the casino in Vegas, a shopping trip in Quebec, or the office in any one of these beautiful Resort 2009 designs. Designers infused the runway with colorful classic and edgy designs. 3.1 Phillip Lim and Missoni took the classic shift dress and added a punch of color and a gorgeous structured pattern that added intrigue to the outfits. Marchesa’s ethereal quality on the runway was embodied in the light blue swirl maxidress pictured. The abundance of color on the runway for these shows prove our favorite designers had fun taking different color palettes, putting together unexpected color combinations on paper, and seeing their dream designs through to the end.

A splash of color in your jewelry is perfect during the summer, and taking some risks where that is concerned is always a good thing to do. The Marcia Moran Blue Quartz Ring is a sensational eye-catching cocktail ring. Whether you wear it to impress during the day or at night, the rich sapphire color of the blue quartz will look alluring along with the rest of your ensemble.

Anna Beck Set of 4 Stackable Rings is trendy and versatile; whether you’re looking for a cool silver or warm gold accent, you have the option of wearing either of the Anna Beck rings, and if you’re feeling inclined to, wear both for a beautiful contrasting effect. The Presh Gold Chain Citrine Hoop Earrings are as edgy as the new Resort designs. The classic hoop earring is reinvented with three chains spanning its interior and a citrine gemstone suspended directly into the center of the hoop. You’ll really shake things up with the gorgeous Jami Rodriguez Tangled Three Hoops Earrings. We love how the delicate hoop shape is repeated twice. The effect is a twist on both the hoop earring and the drop earring styles that’s stunning.

We love the texture of the Tracy Matthews Small Hammered Cuff. It looks great with spaghetti strap or strapless dresses, like the Ralph Lauren model’s dress. Try the Leila Floral Bangles for a fun patterned touch tonight. You can choose between the four styles and match it to your outfit of choice. The Brian Danielle Multi Stone Necklace is fantastic! The shiny luster of the pearls, and citrine, amethyst, and topaz gemstones is undeniably mouth-watering. The necklace captures the light and beautiful spirit of the Resort 2009 designs in a wonderful way.

Turn heads in all of the jewelry we’ve suggested. These phenomenal jewelry designs are perfect for this summer when your true destination is: relaxation. Go there and indulge in these Marcia Moran, Anna Beck, Presh, Jami Rodriguez, Leila, Tracy Matthews, and Brian Danielle designs. We promise you’ll have a vacation to remember!

Mamma Mia! premiered this weekend in theaters bringing in a cool $21 million, and it’s been the most talked about musical-movie since last year’s Hairspray. The ABBA infused musical - each of the musical numbers is a recreation of 80’s pop dance group ABBA’s hit songs - takes place on a small Greek Island. Meryl Streep plays Donna, the mother of 20 year old bride-to-be Sophie, Amanda Seyfriend of Mean Girls.  Sophie’s always wanted to be escorted down the aisle by her father, and although she has never laid eyes on him, she wants that dream to come true. She reads her mother’s diary and invites three of the men she dated with the hope of discovering her true father. It’s a lighthearted cute musical about holding on to what counts the most and falling in love all over again.

Greece is alluring because of its perpetual summer. The fashion style that’s emerged in that region is enriched by the good food, sparkling blue water, and plentiful sunlight. In all of the Mamma Mia!  scenes the cast is sunkissed and glowing.  We’ll show you how you can infuse your life with a bit of the magic and transport Greece, love and happiness into your jewelry box.

Look as radiant as Sophie does by the sea in a sapphire outfit and delicate gold jewelry. The Arena Copenhagen Lonia Gold Heart Necklace has a sweetheart charm that’s perfect to pull an outfit together. Add the Arena CPH Lova Gold Heart Studs for a nice finishing touch, and you’ll be radiant. GK Designs Live Love Laugh Dream Charms necklace is a great alternative that will make your appearance even more appealing. The message of the necklace is embodied in the heart, peace, horseshoe, “dream,” and “Live Love Laugh” charms, and it’ll inspire you everyday.

Donna’s free-spirited personality is reflected in her jewelry. The chunky cocktail rings suggest she’s down to earth and playful. The Melinda Maria Hammered Ring and Rebecca Norman Turquoise Ring will look you. Meryl Streep’s character Donna glows in her chandelier earrings in the last screen shot. Either the Calico Juno Rio Chandelier Earrings or the Jami Rodriguez Tangled Hoop Chain Earrings will make you glow too!

Jewel toned dresses in bright bold colors strike the right key on big nights. Grey’s Anatomy’s Sara Ramirez and Forgetting Sarah Marshall’s Kristen Bell wore gorgeous royal purple strapless dresses when they glided down the red carpet this year. Sara looked fantastic at January’s Screen Actors Guild Awards in her Angel Sanchez gown, and Kristen’s cute Jill Stuart minidress was a hit at last week’s ESPY Awards. Sara played up her dress with silver and diamonds, and Kristen flirted with gold, which goes to show that you can make any outfit work with either, depending on the look you’re going for.

To get Sara Ramirez’s stacked bracelet look, try either the silver or gold bracelets from the Blu Textured Bangles, Kenneth Jay Lane Single Pyramid Cuff, and Blu Diamond Cuff Bracelets sets. Love the way Sara’s smile shines as brightly as her drop earrings? You can dazzle the camera on your big night with the Calico Juno Chandelier Drop Earrings, and finish your look with the Lorelei Gold Crackle Mary Clutch.

Kristen Bell kept her jewelry to a minimum, pairing two gold bangle bracelets with a gorgeous pendant on a yellow gold chain. Choose two of the Lisa Stewart Gold Gem Bangles or snag all three if you’re inspired by Kristen’s look. For a bit of trendy vintage charm, slip on the Melinda Maria Pod Cuff; the double bracelet will create the illusion of two unusal bracelets joined by a gorgeous centerpiece. Adding a wild card to the mix never hurt anyone, and the 22k yellow gold plated Pade Vavra Snake Cuff is one that will take your look from beautiful to gorgeous.

We love the risk Kristen took with her necklace length. Often we pair our strapless dresses with short necklace chains, or we opt not to wear a necklace like Sara did at the SAG Awards, or a short choker-style necklace. A princess or matinee necklace style with a chain that skims the top of your dress is a flattering trend that offers balance when you wear a strapless dress. Either the Kenneth Jay Lane White Flower Necklace or the Gorjana Gold Cupid Necklace are perfect lengths that you can wear to capture the look.

There are all sorts of looks you can create, so long as you’re willing to take some risks. What happens when you dabble with silver jewelry, flirt with gold and gemstones, and go all out with all three? Well, for one thing, you’re going to have a chic look that’s totally you. Are you ready to shake things up?

The allure of Sterling Silver is: the versatility of the surface’s cool shiny luster, and our extensive collection of Silver Fashion Jewelry is so fantastic we’re sure you’ll find something you love. The great thing is that when you’re selecting your jewelry, you don’t have to stay within one brand and you can scroll through several brands’ silver jewelry designs at once and mix and match different pieces.

Jennifer Zeuner Sterling Silver Serpent Charm Bracelet is a stunning piece for your look, and matches the Exhibitionist Sterling Silver Pave Snake Earrings perfectly. Lisa Stewart’s vintage Silver Teardrop Necklace  great when you add one of Christie Martin’s Old English Initial Necklace. If you have a second piercing, the Arena Copenhagen Love Silver Heart Studs will soften your look.

If you’re wearing gold jewelry, soften your image by adding colorful gemstones to the mix. Kacey K’s rose and yellow gold Two Tone Monogram Ring has the sort of appeal that’s glamorous and charming. Rebecca Norman Pink Tourmaline Teardrop Earrings have a delicate appeal, and the pink tourmaline gemstones will sparkle alongside the rose gold of the Kacey K ring. One, two, three, four, it’s up to you how wear it. The funky hammered Gorjana Gold Square Stackable Rings are bring just the right amount of spice to this look. Add the Jessica Elliot Gold Iron Ornate Lariat and the Jami Rodriguez Tangled Nature Necklace for an unusual layered necklace look, and the Rebecca Norman Gold Bangle Set to complete the ensemble.

Feeling bold? Don’t be scared to skirt the rule of mixing silver with gold. This is one rule that was meant to be broken. If you see 2 gemstones on different designs that look good, go for it and make it work! Playing with fire and knowing you won’t get burned has never been more fun.

Pair the Kacey K Cutout Single Letter Gold Mongram Necklace with the Arena CPH Malil Necklace to get a look that’s put together and chic. Personalized monogram pendants look great with gemstones. The Exhibitionist Sterling Silver Serpent and Pyramid Stone Ring is an impressive sturdy ring that will finish your look with quite a bit of style, and it will look great with the Tracy Matthews Marquise Faceted Bracelet. Add a playful element with one of Jessica Kagan Cushman’s quote bangles. Her “Never Give Up,” or “I Want to Be the Girl with the Most Cake” bangles might be exactly what you want for tonight. Lata K Black Onyx Illusion Long Earrings is the perfect finishing touch; Kenneth Jay Lane Black Wood Teardrop Earrings are a great substitute if you’d like a more playful look. It’s all about how you put your jewelry together, and how it reflects your personality or mood.
