Turquoise is super hot for Spring and Summer 2010 and I’m so
glad! Bright turquoise evokes images of bright blue ocean waters on crisp sandy
beaches, and who isn’t dreaming of that this winter? A turquoise necklace pops
with a neutral outfit and turquoise sandals take your outfit from boring to
va-va-voom!
Searching the color turquoise will bring up a gamut of
colors, from bright blue to pale aqua, so don’t be afraid to wear the whole
spectrum! As a general rule, pair silver jewelry with the cooler tones and gold
and brass with the warmer hues.

Incorporate southern
details to keep the trend fresh, like wearing turquoise in a traditional Native
American turquoise cuff. Pairing leather with turquoise is a great nod to
Southwestern fashion and it’s a surefire way to stand out from the crowd.
For a hot summer look, pair turquoise eyeliner with shimmery
gold eye shadow. This flattering duo looks great on all skin types and is an
easy way to summer-ize your beauty routine!
