Fry An Egg On This! Summer Accents So Hot They Supernova

The dog days of summer are upon us...
How did that happen?
Not that I'm complaining, summer may not play host to my favorite temperature,
it is my favorite season for fashion-izing!
This year has so many fun things to put on for the beach, the barbecue, 
the picnic, the fair, the pool party, the resort... so much to do, so little time!
So let's get to it so you can get your buns a movin' on killer summer styles
that will wow the crowd no matter what venue you choose.

I have been on the fence about the return of the fanny pack. 
I wasn't so sure about it on the first go 'round.
But I seem to have a general rule that if you put a speaker in or on it,
I simply must have one. If you feel my pain, 
prepare yourself for the ultimate fanny pack fix:

Meet the Jammy Pack!

With rockin' color combos and blastin' sound,
you can't be held responsible for your 
unimaginable obsession with this 
ingenius apparatus.
 (Extra perk: You never again have to worry about leaving
your portable tune-age at the park again!)

Now what to wear? Hmmm, so much to choose from.
You can go your own way, or do it my way. I won't take it personally either way.
I will warn you however, that my way is not the shy way.


  Poppin' color and outrageously wild print! 

Giraffe Padded Bandeau Top and Bottom
Mr. Gugu & Mrs. Go have my heart by a string bikini. 
They even make a sparklicious throne for your queen beach-y-ness!
Go Big and Go Bold, or Go Home!


Wait! Where are you going?!
That was just a joke.
There's plenty of room for the girl next door:

Wildfox Geisha Tankini
Wildfox Pin Up Hearts Monokini

Wildfox Couture does not disappoint when it comes to 
sugar, spice, and everything nice. 

Really A Mermaid Santorini Swing Dress
Feeling more naughty than nice? These style border on lingerie. 

Somebody's Heartbreak
Girls with Guitars


Good Girl Shorts

Strategic design details from Beach Bunny Swimwear draw attention to your best assets, 
but I'm sure you already noticed. Not for the modest, unless you order "the modest."

It's easy to forget amidst the frolicking and freedom fries the golden rule of the season:
 Safety first!
The sun shows no mercy to your eyes and skin,
so slap on sunscreen, shades and good moisturizer.
But don't let that spoil your good time. 
Use it to your advantage and let you personal style shine bright.
Especially in the shades department.

then glasses are the magic curtain.

Punch Like a Lady - The Dressed-Up Knuckleduster

Not your typical family jewels,
yet haute to trot and tough as nails,
the knuckle duster has made a
huge impact on today's jewelry designs.

Alexander McQueen Knuckleduster

As controversial as they are couture,
we saw McQueen debuting this style as early as 2009,
with the company almost being sued by the Hell's Angels for 
"misuse of their trademark winged death's head symbol" in 2010.

The duster drama continues to unfold as the 
purses gain popularity around the world.
In Hong Kong, police warn they may seize your designer goods
should you choose to don them in the nation's airport.

will give you all the details.

This trend may not have just hatched,
but it certainly is growing and evolving.
You may not even recognize the main inspiration
for some of these more accessible accessories,
but if you look close enough, it's undeniably a knuckle duster.

These cutting-edge creations are a far cry from
their fearsome predecessors.
Enjoy the fun side of fierce
with these dreamy pieces.

Some stick to their roots
and leave an intense impression:

But the diamond in the rough may just be this pleasant paradox from Black Rose Love:

Black Rose Love Gold LOVE Knuckle Duster

Ok, it's really Cubic Zirconia. But who cares. Love is all you need!


Plus, who knew knuckle dusters could be so practical?
Just look at the way they accent these common housewares:

If you mean business when it comes to coffee,
let them know it's an all-out war if they so much as touch yours.
(for extra pop, go with the lovely blood-splatter design)

Or, you may have heard the tale of
the Porn Star, her Knuckleduster Phone Case,
and her Beaten-up Assistant:

Well, you don't have to grin and bare it to
immolate this pinnacle of back-door royalty.
Get one all of your own!:
(Phone case that is.
You're on your own with the assistant.
And the chiaroscuro career choice.)

I'm keeping it classy with my personal preference:

Pink iRock Brass Knuckle Case
Pink is always the lady-like option, don'tcha think?
And Ladies, don't forget the power of DIY.

Just incase you were wondering,
the real thing got a makeover too!
