Hottest Trends for June
Feeling Groovy in June
From apparel and accessories to home décor, the 1970s are a main source of inspiration this summer, and Coral Gables retailers are following suit. Here are five items you can pick up around town. Can you dig it?
Over the Rainbow
Local jewelry designer Jaimie Nicole’s Rainbow Bling necklace will add a healthy dose of sparkle to any outfit. Constructed from 14-karat gold and colorful stones, it’s a piece that you’ll reach for often. Retail: $348. Jaimie Nicole, 4649 Ponce de Leon Blvd. #305, 305-351-7704, jaimienicole.com.
Bright Light
The Niagara chandelier by Portuguese furnishings company Ginger & Jagger was designed to evoke water drops, but it’s also reminiscent of the long, layered gold chains that were all the rage in the ’70s. Retail: $22,900. Decor House Furniture, 4119 Ponce de Leon Blvd., 305-448-6200, decorhousefurniture.com.
Shape Up
Coral Gables designer Silvia Tcherassi’s Fall collection is centered on vibrant prints, geometric shapes, and an overall artful feel. The Macumba bodysuit (available in August) could be worn casually or to the pool and has a plunging neckline and a truly flattering silhouette. Retail: $240. Silvia Tcherassi, 207 San Lorenzo Ave. 305-529-0004, silviatcherassi.com.
Bold and Beaded
Madewell’s clothing and accessories have always exuded a chill vibe, but recently, the brand has been bringing ’70s trends to the forefront. One example is the Small Transport Tote: Beaded Edition; made with polished wooden beads and a canvas interior, it’s totally vintage looking. Retail: $78. Madewell, 342 San Lorenzo Ave. #1080, 305-442-7462, madewell.com.
Sunny Days
Aviator sunglasses really took off (literally) during the ’70s, and they’re still popular. Louis Vuitton’s contemporary take, the My LV Chain Pilot sunglasses, feature a gold chain link design on the sides. Retail: $765. Louis Vuitton at Neiman Marcus. 390 San Lorenzo Ave., 305-446-0116, us.louisvuitton.com.
