Look of the Day: Camilla Belle


It's starting to warm up here in New York, so I'm anticipating summer even more than usual. This photo of actress Camilla Belle just felt like the tropics to me--the tanned skin, a dress that looks perfect for a summer night, and of course her yellow gold jewelry. 

Belle is at Tuesday's premiere for new movie 10,000 BC wearing gorgeous jewels by Amrapali of Jaipur, including 18-karat gold hoops, rings and a stunning cuff. 

Something about the combination of bronzed skin and warm yellow gold feels just perfect for the upcoming warm months. Also, Belle manages to pick up one of the biggest trends going right now: a one-shoulder dress. This hot look urges you to skip the necklace in favor of a great pair of oversized earrings. 

Steal Belle's look with these great finds from Portero:

JewelMak 18-karat yellow gold and pearl cuff bracelet. The negative space makes it super light, just right for a hot evening. 


John Hardy hammered 22-karat yellow gold and sterling silver ring. Based in Bali, John Hardy knows his way around a sultry climate. The textured finish evokes the feel of the islands.
