InStyle‘s must-have summer accessories for 2010 features Kate Hudson’s sunglasses, but my eyes were instantly glued to her earrings! She’s definitely got the summer trend down with turquoise (fashion color of the year) Moroccan-style earrings, a big-brim sun hat and some nice black shades. Kate Hudson’s known for her Bohemian style which goes perfectly well with her free-spirited personality. In this photo of her, it’s the earrings that give her style that Bohemian kick.
1928's Marrakesh Turquoise Blue Medallion Earrings
And like I always blog about in our fab find posts, yes, we’ve got a similar piece! Kate’s earrings looks like it totally belongs in our Marrakesh Collection. These attractive Moroccan medallion earrings feature heavily antiqued brass accompanied by a soft turquoise blue enameling at the center. And it’s got that exotic tribal appeal that will probably get you stares or compliments from strangers (like I’ve been getting)!
The first day of every work week always sends me 1980s flashbacks of the Bangles singing “Manic Monday”. Mondays just seem to be one of the hardest days of the week. Get in, go through voicemail, get caught up on what you spent the weekend already working on.
