As I was looking through some of the Spring 2012 shows for the 20th time, I came across this incredible couture dress from Alexander McQueen. What I had initially thought was some type of beading turned out to be hundreds and hundreds of pieces of coral! It reminded me to dust off a beautiful red coral necklace I borrowed from my mom (that was about 10 years ago so not sure borrow is still the right word:). I usually pair it with a white button down or a simple black sweater so it can take center stage.

Versace's Spring 2012 show was all about whimsical ocean prints in a soothing palate.

The large shark tooth necklaces became the must have accessory for Spring 2012 as soon as they stepped onto the runway at Givenchy. I sometimes find the best way to interpret trends is through accessories, so here are my picks of ocean-inspired pieces you'll wear through spring and into summer, and for many years to come.
Versace Gold Starfish Ring, $325, netaporter.com.
This rose-gold cuff by Fallon is abstract loveliness! You have to look twice to notice the shark teeth. $235, barneys.com. They also make a matching set of earrings!
Fallon's Shark Tooth Earrings, $75, barneys.com.
These Staghorn Reef Earrings by Anthropologie are a more subtle interpretation of the trend, $48, anthropologie.com.
A great interpretation of the Givenchy necklace! Fossil Shark Tooth Sterling Silver Pendant, $13.00, Smiling Raven Creations on etsy.com.
This starfish cuff would look lovely with a black maxi dress. Kenneth Jay Lane Metal Starfish Cuff, $89.25, theoutnet.com.
Coral Necklace, $63, Jewelry By Sonja Blume, etsy.com.

I love your 'borrowed' coral necklace. I can imagine how beautiful the red against a crisp, white shirt would look. I'm feeling the shark tooth pieces, as well. I wonder if they bring good luck if you wear them?
So excited to see what you have up your sleeve in the coming weeks! I know it's going to be good.
Have a wonderful weekend, J! Enjoy this amazing weather we're having.
Hi. The AMQ dress is gorgeous but boy is that model skinny. Actually a bit sickly:)
Your mum's (or now yours) necklace is really nice.
I too look forward to what you will be unveiling in the next few weeks. I do like reading your blog:)
Have a good weekend.
I surprisingly like the shark tooth necklace. Coral is always so pretty. Looking forward to what you have in store for your blog.
Happy Friday!
