Ask Velvet: Seaside Accessories

Q: Hi Velvet! What are some of your favorite accessories to wear in the summer?  Talia P. from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
A: During the summer, we love seeing a vibrant mix of beach-inspired accessories even if you’re not at the beach! You can find many beach-inspired accessories from earrings, to bracelets, to rings and necklaces. When looking for the perfect beach accessory, look for it in white, cream, turquoise and gold. We also love hints of red in a beach-inspired jewelry piece that looks like bits of coral. These colors scream beach-wear and have a tendency to match beautifully with a flowy-white summer outfit. Look for your beach-inspired accessories with mini-starfish, pearlescent beads, small sand dollars, little sea horses and plenty of turquoise chips.

 

Two Products That Will Cure Your Tired Feet

Let’s face it. Summer is the time to show off your feet. It’s when you can dig your toes into freshly warm sand; go barefoot inside the house; and when you can wear strappy sandals and sexy heels from day to night. With all of the hiking, climbing, beaching and summer barbeques, it’s no wonder that your feet can feel dry and unprotected. Here are two products on the market that we think will do wonders to your tired feet.

Excellent Scrub

For an excellent scrub that will exfoliate your summer skin, we recommend H2O + Spa Sea Salt Skin Smoother to do the tough job of exfoliating the dry and rough skin on the bottom of your feet. This carefully-crafted scrub uses almond oil, to soothe and soften your skin, and sea salt to exfoliate dry areas of your skin.
After scrubbing and exfoliating your feet, follow up with a good crème that will provide the moisture you need to keep dryness and calluses away from your feet. Cake Walk Triplemint Foot Crème, made by Cake, is a highly recommended foot crème that comes packed with nourishing butters and oils. The formula is created to instantly give your overly-worked feet a cool and relaxing sensation. And it smells good!
