It is a time of ups and downs on both Wall Street and the Runways. The financial world imploded and the global retail sector has taken a major hit. Shoppers have redefined their spending habits. As a fashion stylist with a passion for fashion, I've done the same. The new concept behind fashion is to shop in your closet before you hit the stores. If you dig, I am sure you'll find many of the must-have accessories for summer. If not, retailers are hungry for your business and are providing savvy consumers with aggressive price points. The alternatives to be fabulously fashionable are endless....Choose from statement jewelry, sky high heels, bold bangles and much more.
 Be colorful. Be daring. Be bold. This summer is all about Statement Jewelry. Statement Earrings and Rings. These fabulous options will be with us for a long time...It is worth the investment. Choose colorful options in natural stones like turquoise, blue, and coral.
Another big piece to add to your summer list are Bold Bangles. It will give you an instant Va Va Voom effect. Wear them by the pool or out for lunch or dinner.
 A Statement Necklace adds an edge to the decollage and can reinvent last year's simple summer dress, creating a bold new statement piece. Kenneth Jay Lane, Simply Vera by Vera Wang and Edition By Banana Republic are a few brands that are offering different price points.
 Sandals and Clutches. Pair your jeans from last season with an over-the-top clutch and sandals. The selection is huge. Update your wardrobe with SPORT SANDALS featuring elasticated straps or multicolor stripes. Sport sandals are the new look. GLADIATOR SANDALS are still hot, in flats or impossibly high heels. The options are tremendous. SPARKLY SANDALS are another great option. Many of the top designers like Marni, Guiseppe Zanotti, Miu Miu (great sparkly black sandal), Gucci, and Sergio Rossi have produced updated takes on the classic sandal. One of the most amazing sandals I've seen lately is a gladiator with Swarovsky crystals, available in both flats and high heels from Edition by Banana Republic. Stunning and an unbelievable price point.
