It is said that a woman is sized-up pretty quickly (by both men and other women) by her nails, accessories and handbag. Well, we’ve got two out of the three covered in this week’s summer accessories trend report. There is a return to luxe this summer, but in an unconventional way; replace diamonds rings with animal-themed statement pieces, like the octopus ring from Alkemie.

Pile on the bracelets with different textures and sizes. We’re loving the braided chain bracelet from Alex & Ani. Both Alkemie and Alex & Ani use reclaimed metals to produce their fashion-forward collections.

Pull it all together with nicely manicured nails that don’t scream for attention, but rather command it in a subtle hue like Yummy Mummy from butter, LONDON. Straight from the pages of Vogue, your summer look will be updated and worthy of approving glances from fashionistas and environmentalists alike.
