5-a-days! - Summer Trends - Turqouise!

 Summer Trend #2: Turquoise!

The second trend of the week is turquoise! There is no doubt that turquoise is becoming the most popular color of summer '10. The color reflects the ocean, water, the beach and represents tranquility and coolness. The color is also a nice bright pop to shine in summer and not only that, but Pantone also called turquoise the color of the year! If that isn't a reason for turquoise to be a hot summer trend, I don't know what is. The five finds I chose today are all accessories, but don't forget there about clothes, shoes and makeup!

Turquoise Hat!

Unisex Cotton Beret

American Apparel

$20

If you're going for an artsy look, this is a really cute beret from American Apparel. It is 100% cotton, so it's light and won't make your head sweat unlike wool. You can match this with other cute accessories or bits of turquoise in your outfit and create a really chic outfit. Not only is it simple, but versatile and could be worn any time.

Turquoise Glasses!

Lisa's Leopard Flat Tops

Urban Outfitters

$10

This is a super cheap, stylish pair of sunglasses from UO. Most people don't have turquoise sunglasses, so these are a great pair to pick up. They have a flat top design and a asymmetrical leopard print on the top, which is a nice retro touch. This would be a great pair for the season and could be worn while out in the city with basically anything.

Turquoise Earrings!

Ethnic Beaded Earrings

Forever 21

$6.80

Here are a cheap pair of earrings from Forever! I love how sophisticated it looks with the turquoise beads creating that sunburst design with the silver chains dangling in loops on the bottom. They will certainly add a special and exotic touch to your outfit and could be worn if you have a more classy event to go to.

Turquoise Necklace!

Turquoise Double Strand Necklace

American Eagle

$11.95

This is a double stranded necklace from AE that will give you that layered look for your outfit. The turquoise beads are accented with small pearl beads and glittery silver circles. It's a nice playful necklace to add to your outfit if you're just hanging out with some friends. Once

again, you can see how turquoise is such a nice color to add to your outfit and how it's the top color for summer!

Artist's Palette Necklace

Anthropologie

$58

This is a pricy bracelet from Anthropologie that has the cutest color palette I've seen in a bracelet. Not only does it have those summery turquoise bead strands, but it also has other semi-transparent hues. This is a great bracelet to wear if you don't really want the full turquoise treatment or if you still want to have the muted palette.

There you have it, some really amazing turquoise pieces that I found for today! I know I didn't do rings or bracelet, but if you want to see those, then just comment and I'll work on another part! I've also added links to go look at the pieces easier!
