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.

Vicky Cristina Barcelona star Penélope Cruz is one of our favorite celeb stars to watch because she has a terrific classic instinct for the right proportions. We noticed Penélope skipped jewelry accessories when she wore this great little black dress and neutral pumps. We admit her generous smile might be the greatest accessory of all, we can’t help but wonder how fabulous she’d look in a few choice jewels.

Since the little black dress has become a wardrobe staple, it’s important to anticipate that other women might be wearing one too, and you’ll want to make sure you stand apart and shine. The trick to jazzing up the little black dress with your jewelry is to play with proportions and choose exotic pieces. Your jewelry should cause as many breathless questions from your friends of “Where did you get that?!” as everything else you’re wearing.

To start, a slender pair of drop earrings would be a great addition to Penélope’s outfit. We love the delicate Deborah Grivas Designs Green Turquoise Gold Arch Loop Earrings. The green turquoise gemstones are so beautiful, and the looped designs under the stones mirrors the other elegant elongated proportions of her outfit.

Personalized monograms are perfect for the red carpet and formal occasions and the tasteful monogram pendants like Ariel Gordon’s would be simply sublime. We’d pick the gorgeous 16″ Ariel Gordon P Initial Pendant Necklace and we wouldn’t hesitate to add the diamond accent to either the sterling silver or 14k gold for Penélope.

The Samantha House Jaqueline Necklace is daring and chic, and we love the bundle of pearls that swing from the semi-precious stone. Black gemstones can give a little black dress the right amount of fanfare, and this pear shaped Arena CPH Mailil Onyx Necklace is perfect! Though each of these necklaces would look powerful and stunning alone, combining them would make Penélope’s entrance unforgettable.

We’ve been falling head over heels for Pade Vavra’s exotic cocktail rings since day one, and honestly, we can only name a handful of other designers that could do the alluring Ms. Penélope Cruz justice. The Pade Vavra Peridot Cushion Ring would look sensational with the Deborah Grivas earrings; This gorgeous cushion ring is plush and sexy with its dazzling peridot gemstones, and if you’re an August birthday girl, there’s no better time to splurge on your luxe birthstone.

The static shape of the Pade Vavra Sapphire Stalatite Ring redefines both vintage and one-of-a-kind; it’s the kind of piece that will take any look from “beautiful” to “knockout gorgeous.” We wouldn’t call an outfit complete without a bracelet, and an unusual seductive and chic cuff bracelet like the Melinda Maria Pod Cuff is just what the stylist ordered.

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.

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.
