Finding balance when dressing for the seasons includes the weight and color of jewelry, shoes, and bags. Rattan, straw, and wicker are among the long-standing favorite materials for summer accessories. Leather always seems too hot to wear or carry in summer.
It is a delight to be able to return to Friday date nights and dinner at the Blackthorn. We’ve missed visiting with friends and dressing for a night out.
I was excited to wear my new shell and rattan earrings, so I put together a floaty summer look. The raffia shoes, woven straw bag, and rattan earrings complement the silk ruana and column of white. I’ve never been a fan of showing lots of skin, so I always enjoy wearing lightweight fabrics that provide coverage.
The handmade and dyed silk ruana was a generous gift from Cybele Boutique here. The tank is here. The pants are several years old, but I got them here. The shoes are from last year. Similar shoes are here.
The lip color I am wearing is Girls’ Night here. I apply it over lip liner and then blot, reapply and blot again. The goal is to stain my lips so as not to have excess travel into lines. My skincare routine is here.
The bag is my hero purchase for this summer. The only Sofia bags I could find online are here and here.
The earrings are now available in several very lightweight rattan styles here. (Use the code SAS10 For $10 off any one item at Beauty in Stone Jewelry.) I chose these because my stretched lobes benefit from a post style and shells are always a summer favorite. I look for earrings designed not to show the piercing.
My talented friend, Suzanne (the designer behind Beauty In Stone Jewelry), is once again allowing me to give away one of my favorites. You can win your choice of rattan earrings from the site here. Comment below to tell me which style you would like to win to be entered in the giveaway. I’ll announce the winner next week.

Love rhe rattan earrings with pearl. Great summer look. I, too, change my bags from leather to straw or raffia for summer.

Shirley Bridgford
I had to laugh when you said your ear lobes were stretched. At least I’m not the only one with this issue as I’ve gotten older. I can’t wear hoops anymore. They were my go-to earrings for years. I would love to be considered for the giveaway. After looking at the color choices I would love to have the same color earrings you are wearing … Rattan Earrings Shell Color in White. Thank you for your consideration!
I love the rattan earrings! The white ones you wore are terrific.
I love the rattan earrings in aqua. Aqua is one of my colors along with brown. They are beautiful and so different than any of the other rattan earrings I have seen.
You look lovely Susan. I too am so happy to enjoy dinner out again and dressing up is a big plus.
Aqua~thanks!
Beautiful outfit.
Modest and so “ summery”. I love the rattan and white mother of pearl earrings.

You look just gorgeous in that color ! Beautiful picture.
Your outfit looks stunning and elegant, Susan. Thank you for offering the earrings. I prefer the White Shell earrings you were wearing.
I like the earrings you are wearing except with the blue shell.
I love the natural rattan earrings with the pearl tops! You always look so stylish and chic!
I love the blue ones. They strike me as really pretty an flattering.
Love your outfit, love the earrings, all of them lovely, especially the pair you’re wearing.
Susan, I love all the looks you put together and discussing how to dress to accentuate our best features is very helpful. I would also like to add that the photos you take of the places you visit are so very enjoyable. It’s like taking a mini vacation. I’ve been to Charleston on a couple of occasions and did not know about Magnolia Plantation, and because of your photos I intend to visit the next time I get out there. I’m landlocked here in Colorado but everyplace I vacation I try to find gardens to enjoy. Thanks again.
Love the fresh water pearl on the gold wishbone!! Hope I win these!!
As always, I enjoy following your blog Susan
Best,
Peggy Ann
Please enter me for a pair of the same earrings Susan is modeling in this post. I never thought about how to cover my drooping earlobes, just often choose not to wear earrings to avoid the drag! Thanks for another great tip, Susan.
You look lovely in your red ruana. I love #2 the rattan with the pearls. Good luck everyone, have a nice weekend.
I love the lightweight earrings that you are wearing. They would be perfect for my vacation at the beach in Gulf Shores!!
Rattan with white shells
I love the all-rattan drop earrings!
I love your hair in that style!
I would have a very difficult time choosing just one style, but I think my favourite would be the style C ones under the Rattan Earrings With Pearl or Shell CHOICE tab. They are all very lovely.

Rattan she’ll earrings in white.
My favorite earrings are the white/pearl color. Just beautiful. I love your outfit. The red RuAna is exquisite. So happy you have returned
To your date nights! . Happy summer to you. Rita B
Rattan shell aqua
I would choose the same earrings as yours. I love them in the blue colour as well, but I’d choose white because it’s the most natural looking and would coordinate with everything.
I love your outfit, you look good in red. I like the rattan earrings with the aqua.
Each style is very refreshing. The white shells on light rattan are my very favorite! The designer is quite talented. Thank you for the opportunity and thank you for her generosity.
All are very nice but my favorite is the drop, freshwater pearl and rhinestone.
Your outfits and jewelry always look good on you.
You look like the picture of summer and I like the mention of Hero Pieces. I took you advice and no longer buy unless I have a plan for long-time use. So many items in my closet are seldom worn because I thought they were such a deal at the time. The earrings that your wearing are different from any I have seen. Pretty and unique. I was surprised that the prices (went to the link) are so good. Yours are my favorite since they go with any color.
I love the post style Rattan earrings with Pearl!
I would love to have the earrings you are wearing, Susan! Hard to choose – they are all beautiful!
Beautiful ruana! I like the rattan earrings with the blue shells.
I love rattan earrings style B. Thank you for offering the earrings as a give away.
I like the ones you’re wearing in this post! Also like the freshwater pearls!
Beautiful Susan! I so thank you for brightening my day, week for that matter.
These look lovely on you! I’d choose the same style as you’re wearing – white shell with rattan disc with the hole in it. Thank you for this contest!
If I don’t win the blue shell on light rattan I will have to buy them. Your giveaways have cost me lots of money!
Hi Susan! I really like Style A of the pearl or shell choice on a wire earrings I have a short neck, so I like to make my earrings longer – which seems to give me a bit of a visual and vertical line to my shoulders. I could be all wrong about that – but I like it well enough. I’m on the lookout for a rattan shoulder bag for summer and glad to finally be getting out for some “real” shopping here now in California. Thank you for all the tips and updated looks you bring to us.
Blessings,
DeeDee Stephens
Love seeing you in this bright, vibrant color! Gorgeous!
The wrap is absolutely beautiful on you!
The accessories are a great addition to any outfit.
I love the white light rattan earrings and have purchased from beauty and stone per you’re recommendation previously and the quality is wonderful !
Thank you for a chance to win!
What a lovely outfit and your prefernce for earrings that do not show the piercing in such a fantastic idea – thank you for sharing it
I love the rattan earrings style B with no shell. I do love wearing shells in summer especially in a necklace. Your silk Ruana is gorgeous. Enjoy summer!
Nothing says summer like jewelry that sports a shell in its design.
You look stunning in this outfit and I am sure Mr Mickey was beaming from ear to ear on your date! Enjoy the summer and stay cool!
I love the white rattan and shell earrings! Wonderful for summer!
Hello Susan,
The Beauty in Stone earrings I would love to win are the rattan earrings with the hole in the middle of the rattan and the pearl color shell. The identical ones that you are wearing in this Sweet Summer Giveaway promotion – casual yet elegant.
I have admired your taste since I first stumbled upon your website and have tried to emulate your style, which seems to suit me. My wardrobe is less complicated and easier to navigate and any purchases I make are the best I can afford.
Thank you for your selfless advice and suggestions.
Kind regards,
Halina
Ordered the rattan earrings in blue. Love your fountain, btw.
Thank you, but that is the entry to our clubhouse.
Oh I love B a pearl. Those are simply lovely. I love the whole outfit especially the silk wrap so ethereal. I’ve been to the Blackthorn years ago wonderful. It’s wonderful to get out and about now but I’m still distancing some just a habit now…
I’m with you; I like my piercing covered. Love the earrings you are wearing but in blue
The earrings are so attractive. I’d love to win the Rattan Earrings (with the circle in the center) in white.
Thank you for your wonderful blogs.
Wow they are beautiful. Very hard to choose. I would go with the ones you are wearing
I love the idea of mixing casual with dressy. The pearl with the rattan is perfect to go with spring and summer florals and even beach attire. My favorite is white/light Rattan. Susan, I have really enjoyed picking up fashion tips from you, and Beauty in Stone jewelry is gorgeous.
Sherry
Lovely outfit Susan – including your unique earrings!
I have a question about your hairstyle. How do you keep the section over your left eye from falling forward? Do you use hairspray? Because of COVID lockdowns, I haven’t been able to get a haircut for months and my hair has become out of control. I hate my hair falling into my eyes so, at the moment, pin it back with barrettes (not an attractive look!)! I’ll appreciate any advice you have. Thanks!
When I blow the front of my hair dry, I lift the roots at the crown and the front with a round vented brush and dry those parts first. The side-swept bangs will fall forward sometimes, but it encourages me to stand up straight and hold my head high. I rarely use spray.
I love the rattan earrings. I like the gold or white shell . But I’d accept any colour.
What lovely earrings for summer! It’s difficult to choose, but I like the handmade wire Style A earrings the best.
Love the shell rattan earrings . Gold or white but blue is nice too. Very summer !
Love the Blue/Light. I’m a big fan of blue in my wardrobe! New to your newsletter. You’re so informative and classy.
Enjoying all your insights!
I am a new subscriber to your blog and am really enjoying it. Love the outfit. You look amazing. I love the earrings that you are wearing. I hope that i am the lucky one.
I just love those rattan earrings! Please enter me in the drawing. I live in Florida and could wear those year round! Thank you Susan.
If I won my choice of rattan earrings from Beauty In Store Jewelry, I would choose the B style.
Roxann ♥️
Hello Susan, I’m not even sure if I’m eligible as I live in UK but the earrings are so perfect for summer I thought I’d give it a go! All the colours are lovely but if I were lucky enough to win, I’d love the style and colour you’re wearing – the natural hoops with white shell – they would go with so much. I may not get to wear them in a holiday setting this year but there’s always next year!
I love the rattan earrings that you are wearing, Susan! I too like to wear a lightweight ruana to cover my arms in the summer. It provides coverage and yet is not too hot.
Love this look. The earrings are beautiful and so summery. I love the blue and natural rattan earrings. Thank you for the chance to get a pair for free.
Beautiful!
I love the rattan earrings you’re wearing in todays post! I never thought about it until now, but I can’t wait to remove jewelry halfway through the day because they just feel heavy!! I’ll have to look for some lightweight summer pieces.
Thank you so much Susan.
Susan Gainfort
I love the rattan hoops with blue shell! So pretty for summer. Thank you for the beautiful summer look ideas.
Very pretty earrings! I like the pearl and rattan pair!
I love the earrings you have on! I’m ordering them now.
I hope I win. I would get another color shell or give my daughter a pair.
Thank you for the giveaway.
I am a man who enjoys reading your posts. They always brighten my day and “carry” me until your next post.
You look so stylish in today’s offering. Thank you, too, for wearing the heels. You are the most stylish woman I ever have seen in heels. You are simply exquisite in them and in every way.
Here’s hoping you have a wonderful Sunday and a pleasant week ahead.
I eagerly await your nest post.
Warmest wishes to you.
Dear Susan,
If chosen, I would love to have the rattan with pearl earrings.
Many thanks,
Jane Cooper
I would choose a lightweight earring as heavy earrings pull on my lobes. Love your look
Love ALL your posts!
And Giveaways are always fun! My choice is: Style A, rattan & shell on french wires 🙂
I love the white ones. Thank you.
Wow. The earrings are so unique and something that I have never seen before. As I looked the decision was harder to make. I would love to win the rattan earrings style choice B. I like the two colors of the rattan and that they dangle.
The rattan earrings with the white shell look great on Susan with her color hair. My hair is much darker and so I would opt for the blue shell color with the rattan.
Thank you!
Love the ones you are wearing, the other styles seem too big for me. I have purchased several things from Susan and have worn them on many occasions. You look wonderful from your date night.
So pretty! Happy summer.
I think you made a good choice with the earrings you are wearing. Love rattan in the summer, and they would look great here in Beaufort!
The earrings you are wearing are my favorite! They look great on your,
I love red on you! I’m so happy that you and Mr. Mickey are able to return to the places you love! My husband turns 70 next week with some health challenges; we are hopeful to return to our favorite places by Christmas. I look so forward to having someone else cook for us!
Hello Susan, thanks for the chance to win the rattan earrings. I love the aqua colored ones. I’m happy to have found your site.
Susan, you look especially gorgeous in your summer outfit but you always look beautiful.
I would absolutely love to win the same rattan earrings you are wearing with the pearl top.
As always, I look forward to your blogs.
Have a blessed day.
It would be delightful to win any pair of this lovely earrings; however, I think the pearl/rattan would be my choice.
Love the white ones.
I love the pearl rattan just like you chose; my earlobes are the same. Guess that accounts for many years of wearing earrings.
I so enjoy your posts and all the info you give to be stylish as the years pass. Thank you so much. So glad you recovered from COVID as did I. We are blessed people.
Love the white/light combo…so versatile!
Very pretty summer outfit with the beautiful and colorful silk Ruana. I like the earrings you are wearing. And thank you for the tip about lipstick application and woven,rattan accessories for summer:)
I am always on the lookout for earrings that have impact, but that are light. Heavy esrrings hurt my ears. I’d love the rattan oval hoops with the shell at the top.
Beautiful outfit! The definition of casual elegance. I like the same rattan pearl earrings that you are wearing, since they would be so versatile.
I love the Rattan Earrings with Blue Shells. The Blue SHells remind me of the ocean. The shades id blue are impressive!
What lovely flowers! And thanks for always inspiring me to dress up! I really like the shell earrings. The blue color is lovely and I’d pick them if I had the perfect dress. However, being a bit (too?) practical, I would go with the gold shell as I could use them a lot more often! Thank you for always posting your lovely surroundings!
I would like the same rattan earrings you chose, if I am the lucky winner..
I love the rattan earrings with pearl drop earrings. So pretty.
I love the rattan w/ pearl drop earrings – so pretty!
Love the earrings just like those you’re wearing. I love everything I’ve purchased from Beauty in Stone!
That is a gorgeous summertime outfit! I love the white pearl/rattan post earrings and would be delighted to win a pair!
Would love to win rattan earrings with white shells. Your hints are so helpful. Enjoy reading your posts!
As always, your outfit looks lovely. I really like the “C” earrings you’re wearing. They lie close to your earlobe and won’t swing back and forth, like most drop earrings. Your blog is refreshing and inspiring, and is always a treat to read.
Hi Susan,
The rattan earrings with the blue abalone-like shell are my favorite. They remind me of San Diego, CA beaches. Thank you for your posts, I look forward to them every week. I truly think “red” is your power color, it transforms you!
Christi Sachs
Love this easy yet elegant look! And those earrings are gorgeous! I love the Rattan and Shell in style A.
Hi Susan
Your posts are so inspiring to me as a 65 year old woman. Age appropriate, stylish choices are your trademark and I’ve learned about new boutiques from you I have otherwise might not have located.
Should I be selected to win the beautiful earrings, I prefer the natural white shell design you wore. Thank you and keep up the great posts.
Paula Brooks

I would love the rattan earrings in white shell….just like yours. They are beautiful.
Wow! The perfect neutral summer earrings!! ❤️
I love the handmade silver hoops!!!!
I LOVE the white shell and rattan earrings that you are wearing…They are my choice!
Love the earrings, in particular the white shell colour choice you are wearing, Susan. Due to hairdressers being closed during the pandemic for so many months here in Toronto, I now have reverted to my natural white/grey colour. I think these lovely earrings would be a nice complement to this change!
I enjoy all the many ideas I have used from your terrific blog.
Thank you,
Jo
Hi Susan.
Thanks for posting the photos of the beautiful flowers. The colors are so vibrant. You look beautiful in this outfit. I would be happy to wear any of the rattan earrings. The one you are wearing look so nice and have a warm weather vibe.
Thanks to you and your friend for this giveaway. She offers beautiful pieces.
Bev
You truly look royal amidst those beautiful flowers! I love the rattan look for summer and any of those A B, C, or D choices would suit me just fine. Isn’t it nice to get back to doing the things we love.
I love the teal she’ll and rattan earrings. So many cute styles from which to choose!
I am trying to maybe purchase kimono. Can find it, but don’t know how to purchase things. What web site do I use to maybe purchase ?
It is a link to an individual artist and not a big corporation. She and her family make these one-of-a-kind ruanas. I bought my first one in her tiny store located in Lewisburg, West Virginia. You may contact her via the Direct Message system on Instagram. Unfortunately, she doesn’t have a website.
Very disappointed with this posting. Too difficult to find out information on this ruana. The Website is not user friendly. I prefer postings that go directly to a site which posts the item prices. I am suspect of a store that I’m unfamiliar with where prices aren’t posted or one is compelled to give their email address. I am a new subscriber because I like your style and previous postings of outfits were more easily used.

Mary Ellen Todd
Thank you for your generosity. I would love the exact earrings you’re wearing. Love them!
This is a beautiful look for you and put together perfectly. I never knew what a ruana was until you introduced it. I always like something on my arms also. My pick would be the “Freshwater earrings” that have the pearl still in its shell. The flowers are gorgeous.
You always look beautiful Susan!
Rattan pearl
I love the earrings that you are wearing , they are very classic looking.
I’d love to win the white/light rattan earrings. They look so summery.

Rattan Earrings Shell Color CHOICE White Light
Regular price$30.00
Love the rattan earrings with the blue shell. Love your ruana as well.
I love these statement earrings–the Rattan earrings in Shell/ Post (selection C). They are unique, light in scale, and very wearable (without being too large and heavy). Your outfit is so lovely and a great demonstration of these earrings.
Love the one with the white shell that you are wearing!
Nancy
I LOVE the pearl and rattan wire earrings. They are prefect!
Susan, thanks so much for your blog. I always look forward to your posts!
Love the summertime look of the rattan earrings! I prefer the “gold” shell! Love your style! I’m 5’2” & have shied away from the flowing, ruana style…..what are your thoughts on the longer length on women who are not tall & willowy ?
I am 5’6″. My tip is to keep the rest of your look slim fitting and one color. I also wear heels or wedges to make my legs look longer when I wear a longer ruana. There also shorter ones available.
I love the rattan earrings with shells. Enter me in the raffle please!
The red is stunning! The rattan earrings with pearl are my favorite. Thx for another giveaway!
I love the exact earrings you are wearing! What a beautiful look on such a pretty lady!
Sadly, as an Australian reader, we miss out on giveaways and even to buy as sometimes we cant get them shipped. But dreams are free and universal! The aqua ones are my total joy.
I love the Rattan Earrings with Pearl in the lightest color. Thanks Susan and Beauty in Stone.
Gorgeous outfit! All the earrings are beautiful, but I especially like the white shell on light rattan.
I would choose the white/natural earrings. Thank you for your posts. I enjoy your style of dressing.

The ruana you are wearing in the pics is just gorgeous, the colour just pops! The earrings just shout summer, and I would chose similar ones to the ones you wore. Once again, generous giveaway. Thank you Susan.
I love the white shell! These are so pretty!!
Good Morning Susan, oh how i would love to win the rattan earrings you have on with the natural shell color. I visited the site and saw a lot of pretty choices. I’m like you though, I don’t want to stretch the holes where my earrings go in, so I’m very careful with the weight of my earrings. 2 summers ago I bought a set of 4 rattan earrings, a blogger mentioned they were lightweight, NOT true. I had to immediately give them away. thanks for keeping us stylish! Amy
Love these tan earrings with the white shells. Lightweight for the win!
I love the white shell earrings!
The earrings you are wearing are a perfect compliment to many summer outfits. I love those!
Cool earrings!
I would love to try the drops!

Great outfit for summer days! Red and white make me smile.
I love the all-rattan drop earrings!
I love the rattan earrings in the white shell. They are simple but make a statement!
I LOVE these earrings for summer! So stylish and go with everything! My favorites are the Rattan earrings, style “A” with pearl or shell (these are a dangle earring). I also love the two-toned tear drop earrings but don’t think they are part of this give-away. Will definitely order if I don’t win!!
Thanks,
Clarisse
Susan I so look forward to your posts. My favorite by far. It really is great to be able to get out again, after this past year. I would love the rattan earrings, the color works with my wardrobe and my coloring.
Susan, I adore the rattan earrings with the white shells. I’ve never seen earrings like this!
Love these rattan earrings! I’d love to wear any of them, but am partial to the oblong ones without the shell. Thanks for continuing to expose all of us to new and interesting pieces Susan!!

Hi — I love your Ruana, so summer-y! But I loved it during your holiday post last winter also.
My favorite colors are turquoise and purple and I see the rattan earrings are available in turquoise.
Would love to be the recipient of this pretty pair!
Thanks for all your inspiration!
I would love the same ones you are wearing! What a lovely summer wardrobe addition they would be.
Doesn’t it feel good to get to start going back out again? So glad that you and Mr. Mickey are enjoying your date nights once again! My husband and I are doing the same.
As for the earring, choice #A is my favorite. I wear a ponytail in the summer, and I think the drop earrings would be really pretty!

The pearl and cube double pink earrings! They are beautiful!!!
Happy Summer, Susan ! I love this look. You inspired me to purchase a wicker handbag and I’m loving it.
Love the rattan-with-shell in blue. I also love that you share pics of beautiful flowers.
While all the styles are amazing…if I was to win I would like the rattan pearl.
I love the light rattan earrings with the Pearl shell! I would wear them to a summer retirement party in August!
The rattan Beauty in Stone earrings are a perfect summer choice! I think (?) I like the A-post earrings, all rattan, on the display of four styles – A, B, C, and D. Love your ruana too!
Awfully generous of you and tour friend to offer a give a way. Thank you. I do not have pierced ears so I would give them t9 my sister-in-law who’s birthday is coming up. She wears dangly earrings ngs so the dangly pearl or shell rattan would be the ones I choose!
I think I will have to try red. It is not a color I normally wear but I have gray hair now.
What beautiful and unique earrings. They are all lovely, but I would choose the white/natural post pair.
I like the white post earrings.
Love the ruana colours! Suzanne’s earrings are so nice & summery. I love the light rattan & white pearl post ones!

AQUA RATTAN PIERCED EARRINGS
Just loved everything about this post! I ordered the Rattan Earrings in Aqua/Natural today and thank you for noting to use the code towards the purchase. I can’t wait to receive them. They will look really nice with the Maui Moonlight skirt I recently received from RipSkirt Hawaii that has aqua in the print of the skirt. Sandals and perfect handbag at the ready! Thank you for the inspiration and all that you do.
How fun! Love to read your lovely blog Susan! I would choose the white post as they would be the most versatile! Thank you!

Beautiful!!
Molly

Hi Susan! I enjoy your posts and the beautiful pictures. It really makes me want to visit that part of the US and now that travel is starting to open back up again I hope to plan a trip to that area. I like the earrings you show in your post. Post not clip on.
The white shell post earrings you are wearing are my favorite. I just stumbled across your site today. Thank you for the fabulous inspiration!
I would love to add the blue shell rattan earrings to my collection. I just purchased the white ones! Thanks for sharing this talented designer.
