Don't channel Pocahontas

For me nothing says Summer like Turquoise (and a little gold);
Mediterranean seas, Greek islands, balmy nights in Ibiza.....you get the gist.

Turquoise jewellery looks great with just jeans and a t'shirt 
or dressed up for the evening. 

Either way it can look fab without  
leaving you looking like Cher in the 70's.

There is no best way to wear turquoise but if you don't want 

to channel your inner Pocahontas , then I suggest

sticking to one statement piece rather than lots of hokey

cheap pieces.

Gorgeous!

On the other hand as the colour is very strong it can be 
worn also as delicate pieces

That's it for this week.

Colours of Capri

One of my most favourite places in Europe

(possibly the world) is the island of Capri.

I absolutely love this place. 

It's my go-to when I need a shot of 

Riviera glamour.

To sit and people watch in Capri

is like being in an old Carey Grant or

Sophia Loren movie.

One of the things I love most are the 2 principle

colours in Capri-yellow and blue.

Dolce & Gabbana did a range (a few years ago) 
called Maiolica Limoni which epitomises 
the very essence of the colour palette of this beautiful island.

Nothing adds high-octane Summer glamour like some 
animal print. Get up close and personal to these rings here

I would love to hear if you've been to Capri. 

If not, where is your go-to place to get a shot

of glamour (excluding Paris ;-)

Ciao Bella
