While Nicole accessorized with several standout pieces, the one that truly caught our eye was the sparkling, diamond-encrusted beaded bangle on her right wrist.

It looks attractive, heavy, and mighty expensive. But if that multi-bead (each one encrusted with diamonds) design isn’t a statement-making piece of jewelry, I don’t know what is!

The mustard yellow color is made for fall, but we can only think about the summer’s bright sunshine when we look at Nicole in this dress. Mustard yellow brings out the blondness of Nicole’s hair color and complements the warm tones of her tan skin.
Now, if only we could do something about that too-heavy black eyeliner… Nicole’s dress is this ‘Lost Without You’ dress from Keepsake:

The cutout detail at the waist is what makes this dress. Without it, this dress would be like any other ruffled mini dress.
