Create lasting impressions at summer nuptials and Wicker Man barbecues with summery stunners such as a signature floral tie back dress by KLD ($103.50) or a sleek mocha rosette dress by MM Couture ($88). A pair of heels completes the look. Shoppers can also count on finding affordable accessories, such as a Acholi Beads multicolor necklace ($31), Kai body buffers ($40), and Natural Life key caps ($5.50) to replace grossly outdated accessories such as sassy parrots, lawn-jockey necklaces, and beards made of bees.
