Look Of The Week - Brandie Herbst

WHO Brandie Herbst, Interior Designer & New Mom, Downtown West Palm Beach

THE LOOK Calypso dress, Gucci scarf tied at waist, studded belt, J.Crew sandals
THE JEWELRY Unsigned Pauline Rader pendent necklace, assorted Bakelite bracelets, Taratata gold earrings, House of Lavande
STYLE INSPIRATIONS Cameron Diaz's laid back, California cool and unstudied look, and Nicole Richie's bohemian elegance. I like simple, classic silhouettes and accessorizing with unexpected color combos via bold jewelry, shoes or handbags.
FAVORITE ADORNMENTS Anything yellow, especially in earrings and/or a handbag, a clear glass ring from Venice, vintage junkboat necklace, and my snakeskin studded cuff worn with layers of wide rhinestone bracelets. I also love throwing in a piece of jewelry accented with a skull & bones motif to mix up the predictability of an ensemble.
STYLE TIPS Brandie's beach chic look is all about layering with both textures and accessories. To achieve a similar look, keep the main piece of your outfit in a neutral color way, and add in bold punches of color with statement accessories. To keep your look from going too over-the-top, make sure that your added adornments color coordinate together.

Look Of The Week - Kelly Murray

WHO Kelly Murray, photographer mStyle Photography, Palm Beach

THE LOOK Top by Seneca Moss, jacket by H&M, jeans by Paige, shoes by Michael Kors.
THE JEWELRY Trifari black, red and god necklace ($448); assorted gold bracelets ($348-$448), House of Lavande
STYLE INSPIRATIONS Ever since I started watching Gossip Girl, I can’t stop. I'm obsessed with Blake Lively’s character Serena Van Der Woodsen’s wardrobe. Her sense of style on the show is said to be “inspired by Kate Moss” but I’m not that edgy. I love my skinny jeans, bandage dresses and I can’t live with out my boots!
FAVORITE ADORNMENTS: Oversized watches, chunky bracelets, scarves, layered necklaces, and never I leave the house with out my Ray Bans.
STYLE TIPS Add bold colored accessories to Kelly's classic neutral blouse and white jeans to create a completely different look. Turquoise and coral long layered necklaces would instantly give her look a gypset style perfect for any beachside local. Tweet

The Look of the Week - Amanda Boalt

WHO Amanda Boalt, Designer, Strong Boalt, Palm Beach

THE LOOK Helmut Lang pants, 3.1 Phillip Lim trench coat, Stuart Weitzman boots
THE JEWELRY 1950’s Miriam Haskell pendant necklace with a graphic black faceted center stone surrounded by carnelian stones all set in a gold filigree pendant, House of Lavande  
INSPIRATION Style icons range from Grace Kelly to Peter Beard. For her everlasting style and his extensive travel and sketching. I like to imagine my swimwear going from poolside in Monaco to post safari in Lamu, Kenya.
FAVORITE ADORNMENTS: I never take off my grandmother's large cocktail rings which I wear on my pinky fingers, and a long 1970's Van Cleef & Arpels gold chain cluttered with charms given to my mother from my father.  Other than heirlooms, I look forward to the custom pieces my friend, Caroline Kling, has designed inspired by my prints. Gold aviators and canvas totes, whether from LL Bean or Hermes, take me anywhere.
STYLE TIPS Adopt Amanda's classic with an edge style by focusing on clothing pieces and accessories that have character and tell a story. Mix & match favorite keepsakes with current pieces that are classic in silhouette and updated with trend-on fabrics, prints and embellishments. Think a classic belted shirt dress mixed with a must-have open-toe bootie and stacked mixed bracelets. Tweet
