Turquoise; The Colour Of Summer

 For me nothing makes me think of sunnier days like a little Turquoise (and I need this right now, as it hasn't stopped raining here in the UK; enough to look up how to build an ark!)

Anyway, Turquoise with some gold metal work worn with some crisp white linen smacks of classy gorgeousness for me.

That's the thing with Turquoise, you can use it every day with casual attire, or dress it up in the evening with a gorgeous black number.

Either way it can look fabulous with/without looking like Cher in a throwback to the 70's (whatever is your thing).

However, I would say, just go for one beautiful, stand-out  statement piece. 

But then, what the hell do I know? LOL

Sometimes you might want to wear something more under-stated. But with its strong colour presence Turquoise can still make a delicate statement.

A matching ring could also elevate a formal or casual outfit. Both of these look fab with just a plain white tee and jeans!

Someone who really knows how to rock Turquoise is the lovely Tamera Beardsley

I just love how she puts pieces together (see below on her trip to Marfa, Texas).

I just wish she would come to the UK to dress me everyday!
