Scorching Haute: Sun, Sea and Scarves

We know sun, sea and scarves may seem like a kooky combo, however, these wonderful squares of fabric have a uniquely versatile nature, seemingly able to transport the wearer (in the mind at least) to different locations, eras or entirely different worlds.

scorching haute: sun, sea and scarves

Now firmly in Summer’s grasp, we are all stripping off. The good thing about that is, less clothing makes room for more accessories! And here at Joe Cool we can assure you that more is more. Our exuberant colour story begins with one of our scorching-haute scarves, the best hair remedy for humid days and styled here with exotic cotton thread earrings fashioned in the abstracted image of birds of paradise. An acrylic chain and bangles add a squeeze of citrus, paired with a handmade whale brooch for some much needed whimsy. Add a coin purse to carry all you treasures and you’re ready to take on the seven seas!

Take a look at Joe Cool’s treasure chest of island getaway goodies. A flamingo and pineapple motif makes for a total tropical treat whilst our embroidered sequin eye brooch puts one in mind of seductive sirens from distant days of yore. Dreams of white sandy beaches and pristine waters are captured in a pendant necklace fashioned from iron and glass. The marvelous ‘macaron’ style compact mirror is perfect for all your vacay-vanity needs and our cowrie shell ring and fruity enamel earrings make escaping to the tropics easy as pie.

Versatile and trendier than ever, its time to let our scorching-haute scarves have their day in the sun. Whether you’re pretending to be Grace Kelly driving through the South of France in a chic convertible or living your treasure island pirate (cue eye-roll)…fanta-sea, Joe Cool has a scarf option for everyone. Graphic polka dots and abstract pleated prints work gorgeously as a pony tie whilst paisley and tie-dye prints worn in a bandana style will have all the sea-dogs seeing green. A silky citrine floral moment in a babushka style sounds like a match made in heaven, beaten only by a cotton kerchief neck tie in a tantalizing turquoise. The possibilities are endless!

Monochrome – Black & White acrylic jewellery

Black and white combinations are a classic must have. Timeless wearable items that always look good. The pieces featured have a bold statement look with elements of linear and graphic design.

Our two-tone hexagonal bangle is a stunning piece which complements the dynamic earrings in the range. Strong vertical and horizontal stripes feature in large graphic shapes on shiny polished statement earrings. Button top drop earrings have a chunkier feel with a distinct retro vibe.

For more modest tastes, we have smart little ‘illusion’ stud earrings with an optical effect black and white pattern. Other black and white items in the Arthouse collection are a little softer with ‘space dust’ bangles, wide and narrow in clear and white acrylic and marbled resin hoop earrings. Our bird brooch duo, one in white, one in black, make a stunning pair and flower earrings reminiscent of the cool designs of Mary Quant, offer an alternative look.

Several of the more colourful jewellery designs in the collection also contain a monochrome element, reflecting the current importance of this trend. Whether as a ‘colourway’ or part of an overall design, black and white invariably adds style! An attractive mottled effect is achieved in our cellulose designs. Marble square studs and mottle long hoop are both interesting and attractive. The ‘Soft hex’ pastel and marbled bangle is an unusual combination of colour, pattern and shape. ‘Resin Fusion’ is a bangle of shiny acrylic with a beautiful fluid design and ‘trisect’ another striking form in black, white and mustard yellow.

More Joe Cool classic black and white styles include the beaded stretch fimo bracelet, witty jigsaw bangle and the ‘clock’ cuff featured above. Necklaces include statement acrylic chains as shown and lots more beside.
