White Hot Summer

Michael Kors

Michael Kors is known for his signature MK monogram on countless accessories and pieces of apparel.  Accordingly, the Monogrammed Ipad Case exemplifies this classic pattern in a fresh and modern way with gold and camel leather embellishments.  This accessory is reason enough to buy an Ipad, if nothing else.

Juicy Couture

This gorgeous Juicy Couture LA Square will add a fun pop of color to any outfit for the summer.  With a wide spectrum of colors from red to purple, this silk square is a versatile accessory.  One can effortlessly tie one to their purse, wear as a headscarf, embellish a hair tie, or knot around one's neck for Parisian flair. 

Kate Spade

Kate Spade is known for her tongue-in-chic designs and youthful vibe.  However, her newest jewelry collection takes a different approach with a classic aesthetic.  This statement piece would be a fabulous accessory for a weekend at the Hamptons or an afternoon ride on a sailboat.  The Moonlight pearls statement necklace is an accessory that a modern-day Jackie Kennedy would wear.

Ann Taylor

Ever since Ann Taylor's nationwide makeover, they have supplied fashionistas with remarkable new pieces incorporating the season's hottest trends.  Case in point, the Riley Patent strappy sandals are a sassy pair of heels with patent leather and a pop of fuchsia.  This color is perfect for a hot summer night on the town, a backyard barbecue, wedding or graduation party.

Ivanka Trump

Entrepreneur, designer, heiress, and millionaire wife/mother Ivanka Trump certainly has credentials for her timeless collection of apparel, shoes, jewelry and accessories.  The Olivia Quilted Bucket Hobo is no exception of her immaculate taste.  The ruched white leader braided strap and decorative tassel contribute to the clean aesthetic of this bag.

Absolutely Stunning. After taking a double take the first thing that came to mind was, "why is this man wearing lipstick?" Not to be offensive atll, but, then realizing that it was a woman the title of this shoot Beauty is Strencth reallly started to make sense. Why is that men and women  get sterotyped for being strong or more feminie or masculine than the norm. But that definitely is not the point of this shot. Jenny Shimizu captures beauty and grace in this photograph as well as for the reason behind the lipstick. The lipstcik, Helmut Red, is launched by House of Exposure, and inspired by Poppy King and author/activist Periel Aschenbrand. The idea behind the whole lipstick, is that all proceeds go toward helping children who are affected by HIV in countries that have high rates of this disease.

July Cravings

In the midst of fun summer parties and beautiful weather, a fresh crop of exciting accessories emerge from the most coveted designers in America.  Since black is the most versatile color in the world, it's only natural to pair it with gold accessories for a warm hint of color.  These colors are beautifully incorporated into the designs of Juicy Couture, Ann Taylor, Ivanka Trump, Michael Kors and Kate Spade in this week's accessories column.

Juicy Couture

The Essential Everyday Nicola by Juicy Couture is a large yet structured bag for women from all walks of life.  Since black goes with everything, this refined bag will make anyone green with envy.  The bag comes in black and cognac and is luxuriously adorned with a gold Juicy Couture emblem.

Ann Taylor

Ann Taylor's Filigree cuff is right on the money with a sophisticated urban design.  This cuff evokes memories of Egyptian and Spanish jewelry with its assorted stones, geometrical patterns and unabashed glamour.  Ann Taylor has earrings and necklaces in the same style, paying homage to ancient designs.

Ivanka Trump

Ivanka Trump's Valerie Jeweld Flat Sandal is clearly a summer staple for any sophisticated lady.  The small heel and buckle closure make this sandal a practical yet glamourous accessory.  The polished round stones come in black, white, red and turquoise.

Michael Kors

The buckled bracelet is a hot new trend for the summer, yet its style and quality will last far beyond September.  This bracelet has tortoise-colored detail with a golden buckle.  The buckled bracelet can be worn as a statement piece or amongst a vibrant collection of bangles.

Kate Spade

Last but not least, this lustworthy leopard Iphone case has its own debonair flair.  As an alumni of Arizona State University, Kate Spade knows how to incorporate classic designs into functional pieces with a very clean aesthetic.  This Iphone case will add a beautiful touch to the sleekest phone on the market.

Her rocker bracelets, her Lady Gaga sun glasses and her matching choker were all accessories made for a rockstar like Ms.Azealia Banks hanging in the 212. Does Nicki have competition?

2. Nicki Minaj

Apparently, no competition here, Nicki Minaj is #2 on our list for that gorgeous blonde hair and signature pink lip stick that is always to die for.

Model: Katryn Kruger
Photos: Courtesy of Dazed and Confused

What to say about this shot!? intriguing, shocking, mystical. Whatever word you would like to use to describe this photo MUST have something to do with how incredible the shot is. First of all, from Katryn Kruger striking makeup as well as her edgy hairstyle,  is enough for anyone to get captured in her eyes. But when one takes a closer look at the photo, you can see the intensity and colors of her eyes that bring life from the coat that she is wearing. The coat shields, off her body, and makes the picture seem somewhat subtle/dull  but the eye makeup and her intense eyes are whimsical and can make anyone have goose bumps; definitely brings life to the photo.  if you like this shot and want to see more, go to models.com, MDX to look at more photos.
