Look of the Day: SunKissed on the Red Carpet
Posted August 14th, 2008

look-ofthedaylauren.jpg

Do you have a fun printed summer dress? Though the summer’s winding down, that’s no reason to resist one last wear. If we had a chance to style Lauren Conrad on the “blue” carpet in her gorgeous turquoise and orange sequined number above, we’d pile on gold jewelry for a statement that’s both trendy and playful, which is what summer is all about.

We’re huge fans of Arena Copenhagen’s stunning gold earrings, like the Arena CPH Naima Gold Ring Earrings and the Arena CPH Barbie Gold Earrings. The Barbie drop earrings would looks smashing with the fun cocktail dress Lauren’s wearing, while the Naima small hoop earrings are understated and add a quiet elegant touch. Layering your necklaces is a fun way to create a one of a kind look for no two necklace combinations will ever look the same. We love the way the Calico Juno Figure Eight Necklace and the Gorjana Gold Cupid Necklace look together, and both of the necklace chains are the perfect lengths for the sweetest combination.

A chic fashionista like Lauren would of course indulge in the latest trends in one or two areas at most - the key to being a trendsetter is knowing which trends you want to embrace, and which ones you want to create. Lauren has been in on the handmade bracelet trend since last year, and we’d give her the Ettika Peace Coin Bracelet in either orange or gold, to match her dress. The turquoise and orange dress looks stunning against her sunkissed skin, so we’d play that up with a sunny colored Ettika bracelets. With over 100 Ettika styles to choose from in almost every color under the sun, there are a handful of perfect ones for you. The Jennifer Zeuner Hamsa White Wood Beaded Bracelet would be another amazing bracelet to go with. We love the way the soft white wood beads and the gold charm go together like they were meant to be, and the hearts and moons inside of the Hamsa charm are to die for - how many can you find?

No look is complete this season without a ring, or two, or four! Stackable rings are still in, and we love the texture and shape of the Gorjana Gold Square Stackable Rings. We’d add the Melinda Maria Hammered Ring to Lauren’s look for the cherry on top of the sundae; this elegant ring has gorgeous CZ accents that would make Lauren the darling of her next party.
