Here’s another one from Vogue Nippon’s June issue. I love this burlap version for summer try this wrap over a cotton dress, cardigan or blazer (as shown above). Change the wrap for a black or cream grosgrain ribbon and find vintage brooches at any flea market or on ebay.

These shell necklaces were featured in the June issue of Vogue Nippon. They are such a fresh summer accessory you can DIY. Use your own beach finds or next trip look for shells shops which offer pre-drilled options. Add a small gold jewelry ring and gold chain. Another option: try layering three chains and knotting them 6-8 inches apart.

(Drilling: support the shell by taping it down with masking tape and putting molding clay underneath it. Mark the placement of the hole with a pencil and use a 1/8th in drill bit adding as little pressure as possible. Keep the drill on the lowest speed. )
