With its exotic jet set vibe and vibrant assortment of Boho chic tunics, sandals, bags and signature jewelry, the new Gas Bijoux boutique in New York City is a major source of our summer style inspiration. Everything She Wants was invited to the opening of the 45-year-old Parisian brand's third store (266 Elizabeth Street), owned by Marnie and Pascal Legrand. Prices range from $45 to $600.

And it comes in an array of fun prints and festive colors. The Von Vonni woman is attracted to clean, wearable silhouettes.  Everything She Wants was invited to the glamorous up-and-coming label's New York City showroom to check out Von Vonni's latest styles for Spring/Summer 2013 --which have been worn by  Real Housewives of Atlanta star and model Cynthia Bailey--and to pick out a lovely dress to model.

Since her departure from The   Real Housewives of New York star Jill Zarin has launched a chic collection of costume jewelry, which is full of Mother's Day gift possibilities.

Beyoncé is a busy girl. On the heels of her inaugural lip-syncing controversy, her sexy Super Bowl performance and a shocking  new single , the global superstar is now t he face of H&M’s summer campaign  wearing pieces inspired by her style.  Photo courtesy of H&M “I've always liked H&M's focus on fun and affordable fashion,"  says Beyoncé. " I really loved the concept we collaborated on to explore the different emotions of women represented by the four elements -- fire, water, earth and wind." The campaign was shot on the beautiful beaches of the Bahamas, and  Beyoncé says the shoot " felt more like making a video than a commercial." Beyoncé worked with the in-house design team at H&M to create the perfect pieces for the heat of summer, including a tiny tie-dye bikini. Twenty-five percent of sales will be donated to H&Mfor Water .
