Despite it's slew of monikers, turquoise is infiltrating runways, magazines, and interiors everywhere. The vibrant blue and green mixture is said to reflect youthful energy, creativity, and relaxation (yes, please). You should know by now that Erin has her way, and Shannon has her way, but there is also the wrong way. Let us show you all of the ways the turquoise trend can't be matched.
À la Shannon:
I have been eyeing a pair of orange carnelian and blue chalcedony gemstone earrings from Sandra of friedasophie for about a month, and when I say "eyeing," I mean trying to find an excuse to buy them when I already have a pair in a different color. The Califorina jeweler hails from a family of fashion designers — A.K.A it's in her blood. These gems are inspiration for interiors too. A mix of orange and turquoise lends that ever-soothing coastal feel. Below is my version of a turquoise DO.
And there are those of us that take a trend too far. Rule of thumb: keep bright colors to a min for extra pop. This look is a turquoise DO NOT (it's also a red carpet do not, but that is another post for another day).

À la Erin:
Now that summer is approaching (finally). I have bid adieu to my Cullen-esqe skin tone and embraced the bright colors of the season. I am a firm believer in color. Who wouldn't want to wear something guaranteed to flatter, make any outfit or room pop, and add something unique. That's what I thought. Don't be afraid to use bright colors as a main focal point (unless it's velour - see above), just remember to keep all other aspects of the room or outfit muted. Let me introduce you to a new power couple: T&G, otherwise know as turquoise and grey and my version of a turquoise DO.
Like my translucent skin of winter days, it's a also time to say farewell to turquoise and brown. It's used, abused, and clearly a turquoise DO NOT.

love the turquoise myself this summer, have turquoise chair pads complemented by a yellow market umbrella. It is very refreshing. t
