Amethyst

I've always been a fan of rich colors and jewel tones, rock-inspired shades, and glitzy designs. I'm wearing an embroidered sheath cover-up by Black, and an amethyst tone monokini and matching leather & blown-glass bracelet and ring from Chycas boutique. I love tops like the one I'm wearing because they provide a great transition from beach cover-up, to adding a pair of shorts or jeans to stroll around the city. 

For more jewel-toned inspiration, check out the gorgeous Vogue Paris editorial "L'Heure Bleu" that I blogged about here.
