Stay on top of the summer's hottest trends with our favorite picks of the season.

Bright shades everywhere: When purchasing handbags, shoes, jewelry and makeup, look for your favorite accessories in bold, vibrant colors, such as bright coral crystal brooches, bright turquoise sandals, red bracelets and emerald green earrings. Going on a lunch date with your girlfriends? We recommend wearing white denim pants and a light-blue blouse. Brighten up the look with turquoise sandals, rainbow-colored jewelry and a bright blue handbag.

Dazzling rocks galore: Sparkling stones are in this summer. Whether you're wearing a crystal bead bracelet or gemstone-studded sandals, rocks add texture, bright color, shapes and motifs to any outfit. When purchasing basic accessories, such as jewelry and shoes, and non-traditional add-ons, like a cosmetic bag or hand mirror, look for large, multi-colored rocks and gems. No matter what type of accessory you're looking for, dazzling rocks are sure to jazz up your summer look.

Vintage-inspired statement accessories: This summer, bring out something old by wearing those vintage statement pieces you can't find at your local mall. We recommend looking for handcrafted pieces, such as a unique silver crystal bracelet, a vintage clutch, or an antique hair pin. It's easy to find vintage jewelry and other accessories when shopping online. Vintage pieces are also available at local thrift stores and antique boutiques.

So there you have it -- this summer is all about bright shades, sparking stones and vintage pieces. Look your best and stay cool!
