The July 30th issue of Life & Style magazine asks about jewelry at the beach:

SUMMER JEWELS?-At the beach, Hilary Duff wears an armful of bracelets, Beyoncé wears her gold jewelry, and Mariah Carey wears a dazzling necklace. Does jewelry belong at the beach? You decide! Jewelry with a swimsuit: Love it or Hate it?

I didn't include the photo of Hilary because she just looks awful (trashy even) and I think is showing a little too much of everything, the good, the bad, the let it all hang out. Yes, Mariah is as well, but it's not hanging out. I think considering her age and full-figure she's actually looking pretty good, and I like the necklace she's wearing. Now, Beyoncé, does this woman know how to look bad? She looks great and those gold earrings just pop.




Now, as someone who spend years soaking up skin cancer on the beach, I usually just work small earrings because you can end up with some weird tan lines otherwise. Plus, at least in Florida, it is sticky and hot down here at the beach unless you go in January or February. So, jewelry just would not be comfortable.
