HOT HOT HOT: Feathers from Michelle Roy
With NAVAJO staking it’s claim in the current retail market, it was only a matter of time until FEATHERS – the ultimate navajo accessory (next to turquoise, of course) – started showing up everywhere! Our favorite accessories designer, MICHELLE ROY brightens up this trend by taking feathers to new heights. We visited her showroom this week, and picked out a few of our most favorite items. The SINGLE EARRINGS are fantastic for infusing a little color into your look without being too bold. Bright pinks, blues, and yellows are adorned with rhinestones, spikes, and skulls thanks to MICHELLE ROY’S unique touch that she puts on all her pieces. Her EAR CUFFS tend to show off your more daring side with a heavy metal base dripping in feathers and chains. Feathered FEDORAS and FLOPPYS will definitely top off your laid-back LA look. Last and certainly not least, feathered SANDALS for the true feather fanatics. Contact MICHELLE ROY for more information because this trend is HOT HOT HOT!

HOT HOT HOT: THE NEW ONE-PIECE
What goes around comes around this season as we take a trip back to the 80′s to revive the ONE-PIECE bathing suit. As these formerly known “mom suits” make their way into stores, they are not coming quietly! This HOT trend is for everyone, packed with VIBRANT COLOR and AWESOME PRINTS , these suits give these oldies a total modern makeover.
