Natural Beauty

As far as jewelry goes, statement necklaces seem to be dominating, leaving delicate fingers and wrists cold and empty. This season, let your hands do a little talking with natural wood, mineral, and stone rings and cuffs from artist and jewelry designer Christine J. Brandt.

Nothing short of spectacular, Brandt's hand-carved jewelry gives new meaning to the words "wearable art" - beautifully sculpted with interesting curves and breathtaking brilliance. Besides their obvious pulchritude, the line is environmentally friendly - instead of varnishes and stains, Brandt hand rubs natural Danish oils to bring out the wood's natural grain and color, and she never cuts or dyes the semi-precious stones and minerals, opting instead to leave them in their natural, gorgeous state. The result is truly one-of-a-kind, stunning creations that are uncommonly alluring. And for those who simply cannot ignore the de rigueur, Brandt, of course, includes statement necklaces in her collection, each one a gorgeous manifesto of artful elegance and uniqueness.

Point of Hue

Spring will be here faster than you can say "End of Season Sale," and with it comes the requisite florals, ladylike silhouettes, and, this year, colors galore! If you've always been a neutral kind of woman, get ready to change your perspective about vibrant hues, and start dressing en couleur!

Style Goodies has uncovered 24, colorfully cute and affordable (nearly everything is under fifty bucks) pieces you'll be dying to wear this spring! Just click on the images below!

Orange

For an unexpected punch of vibrant color, add orange to Spring's most coveted neutral pieces (think khaki wrap dresses, straw wedges, and wooden jewelry)!

Blue

Blue tops, shoes, and accessories beg to be paired with white jeans and trousers - a crisp color combo that never goes out of style!

Pink
So feminine and flirty, pink is the ultimate girly color! Look for age-appropriate pieces that mix well with jeans and heels to avoid looking overly-precious.

Yellow
Yellow is the carefree color that can add a little sunshine to any look! It's so bright and summery you'll feel energized and uplifted every time you wear it.

Green
Green is so fresh and clean - it embodies everything that spring is! Be bold and mix green dresses and tops with accessories that add a hit of pink, yellow or blue.

Red

Red is a surprising yet perfectly gorgeous color for spring! Mix it with of-the-moment wide-leg jeans or the season's most fetching natural accessories.
