Tribal Chic 
Spring/Summer 2012

The tribal theme seems to be taking the fashion world by storm this spring/summer. The trend has trumped the runways of top designers worldwide with much emphasis on fashion jewelry. The large geometric earrings, bracelets, rings and necklaces seen this season continue to make a tribal statement. As we here at Sylvia Benson always say, an outfit is never complete without the perfect accessory! Take a look at some of our favorite spring/summer "tribal" looks below. 

The Everyday Outfit 

This is a great outfit to casually throw on any day. We paired the Mara Hoffman Crochet Top and High Waisted Shorts with Sylvia Benson Rosa Earrings and Farhi Bracelet to complete the tribal look. The Farhi Bracelet looks great alone or stacked with one or two more!

Day To Night     

Maxi dresses have been all the rage this season. This T Bags Strapless Maxi Dress in Multi would pull off the tribal look with the help of the Sylvia Benson Iris Necklace, Egyptia Bracelet and Jameson Ring.  The accessories compliment the outfit well and add the perfect pop! Just like the Farhi bracelet, the Egyptia Bracelet looks great alone or stacked with one or two more.

Pretty in PEACH

As many of you may know, peach was one of the most popular colors seen on the runways of this spring's Fashion Week. Although we steered clear of the color until we managed to get a tan, it quickly became our favorite pastel of the season. Peach plays the same role as your classic "light pink" but is a lot more fun as it isn't as predictable. The color seems to add the perfect mix of style and sensibility to an outfit, matching with a variety of different colors (great for colorblocking), while also standing well alone. Whether it dominates an entire outfit from head to toe or simply pops with a nail polish or accessory, peach is definitely a color that every girl should have in her closet this spring. Take a look at some of our favorite peach items:

Tibi Pleated Silk-Crepe Skirt 
  

                                      
   

Beautiful use of peach in this pleated skirt. Shown with a champaign colored sweater but can be colorblocked with many other colors including silver, coral, lavender, etc.

Kooba Clutch 

  

Clutches have been incredibly popular this season. This Kooba clutch is gorgeous and will add a slight hint of peach to an outfit. Clutches are always an easy and fun way to accessorize.

          Zara Scarf & Sylvia Benson Absolute Earring

                                       

Both these items are great ways to add a bit of peach to an everyday, casual outfit. The pair of Sylvia Benson studs on the left are appropriate for anytime or occasion. The Zara summer scarf can be thrown on to add a quick, last minute statement piece for a casual environment.

DVF Edna Dress

This DVF dress is great because it takes care of the color blocking for you! Pretty use of peach contrasted with an apricot color. Provides an easy, well put-together spring look.

    Bobbi Brown Blush & Chanel Nail Colour 

                                        

Apparel and accessories are not the only way to add a touch of peach to your look - makeup is just as effective! The use of peach in cosmetics provides a pretty, natural look, that is trendy but not too severe. Follow in the steps of Tracy Reece, who brushed the cheeks of her Spring 2012 models with a light peach blush; or fashion icon Kate Middleton, who recently replaced her typical nude nail polish with peach. Bobbi Brown's "Nude Peach" blush and Chanel's Le Bernis nail colour "June" will do just the trick. 

Sylvia Benson Cayman Earring

    

  We figured we would finish off today's blog with one of our favorite pieces of Sylvia Benson Jewelry - the Cayman Earring in peach. This earring is perfect for so many different occasions and significantly adds color to an outfit without overdoing it.
