Everyone loves dressing for warm weather. It means you can break out your sundresses, mini-skirts and fashion tops. Summer is also a great time for new jewelry and accessories. To complete any summer outfit be sure to add to jewelry that will accentuate your outfit. For a great value on jewelry, check out sterling silver jewelry.

Sterling silver jewelry is reasonably priced and allows you the flexibility to put together a collection of pieces for each outfit. One of the most important accessories to complete any outfit is earrings. Depending on the rest of your outfit, you should determine which type of earring is appropriate stud earrings, hoop earrings, dangle earrings or chandelier earrings. We love summer fashion because you can do so much more with your clothing choices.

Also, the type of earrings you wear should depend on your hair style. Earrings are a great summer accessory because they can dress up an outfit for a night out or you can find a pair to just be worn casually every day. Some of the looks we love for summer are:

 Casual Outing: CZ Diamond Cut Stud Earrings from emitations.com

Night Out on the Town: Sterling Silver Dangle Earrings

Date Night: Multi-Stone Drop Earrings from Zulumoon.com

Sterling silver jewelry is a way to look great without spending a fortune on jewelry. When you are searching for jewelry pieces you will find that instead of spending money on one piece you can put together several looks for the same piece. This means you can have versatility in your wardrobe and mix and match different looks, keeping your style fresh. If you are feeling stagnant with your style give these three celebrity comparisons a try.

Get this look: Glee's Lea Michele at the 2010 Golden Globes, you can achieve this same look with these silver earrings from Zulu Moon for around $20. Drop earrings always make a great addition to a strapless dress.

Get this look: Rhianna wears these silver bamboo hoop earrings that can be found on Amazon.com for $34. Rhianna is known for her edgier style and wiliness to take risks when it comes to fashion.

Get this look: Black Swan star Natalie Portman wears a dangle earrings with a string of jewels. You can achieve the same look with an amber dangle earring with similar shapes. This earring is also from Zulu Moon for $25.

Celebrity style cues don't have to cost you an arm and a leg. You can find great deals out there, it just takes a little searching. You can save money and be fashion forward at the same time, it's all about making your dollar go further.

  Animal Jewelry is becoming more popular as high-end jewelry makers are producing special collections devoted to the animal kingdom . Even insects and bugs are getting their share of attention with new and interesting designs. Staying up with the latest trends doesn't have to be overly expensive. By selecting sterling silver jewelry you give yourself a great look that will last a lifetime. Here are three pieces for under $100 that are the perfect way to rock this emerging style trend. This animal trend allows you to have a piece that reflects your personality and style.

The first piece is a silver snake from Tiffany and Co. Tiffany is world renown for their beautiful silver jewelry and this piece is no exception. The silver snake pendent is attached to a black necklace and makes a great casual piece that can be worn often.

 The next selection is from Zulu Moon. Zulumoon.com is known for its large selection of sterling silver jewelry at reasonable price points. Zulu Moon features a full line of Silver animal jewelry but I have selected a pair of silver animal earrings. These silver dragonfly earrings make the perfect addition to any collection and are another great casual piece. 

The third piece of jewelry I have selected is a silver Owl pendent. The Owl pendent, from Amazon.com, represents wisdom and is even Pandora bracelet compatible. The silver Owl is from Bling Jewelry and crafted form 925 sterling silver.  

Are you searching for an accessory that will unlock your style? A new jewelry trend is skeleton key jewlery, and if you are doing your back to school shopping, these key pendents are a must have for the fall. Trendsetters and young celebrites have found key jewelry to be a unique piece that can be worn as a charm, necklace or even earrings. Celebrities like Leighton Meester, Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift are wearing similar key necklaces but probably paid hundreds for a style that is simple to recreate.

The fleur-de-lis pendent, gothic designs or more traditional key designs are also a common trait found in one or more of the pieces.The inspiration behind the key jewelry is thought to have been started by the famous, Tiffany and Co. but here at the Budget Fashion Report, we are always seeking out ways to get celebrity style on a budget. One option is to actually find old keys and turn them into necklaces. Searching antique shops or even stores like Anthropologie, you may stumble across a unique looking key. Another way to achieve the same look as these celeberites is to opt for sterling silver and CZ key pendents. Going this route will still give you the great look but without the high cost.

The leighton Meester look:

Leighton is wearinga classic skeleton key design. The skeleton key design is characterized with the three loops at the top of the key. A comparable and more reasonably priced pendent would be something like this.

the Selena Gomez look:

Selena is wearing what I would classify is a more gothic design key.  This piece is a little more intricate compared to the previous pendent. Something similar to this design would be something like this charm here. The design has a fleur-de-lis in the handle and gives you that intricate patterned look. Reinvent this look with a shorter chain. 

the Taylor Swift look:

 Taylor is wearing a pendent that looks more like a real key than the two previous. I would recommend trying to find an actual old antique key but if you can't, a piece that is similar to this would be this key design. Recreate this look with a silver chain and loop the key onto the chain.

If you watch celebs walk down the red carpet they are typically dripping in jewelry. Sparkling diamonds and ulta-blinged out accessories are the norm when it comes to celebrity red carpet fashion. You can accomplish the same looks at a fraction of the price if you know where to look. Instead of spending thousands on diamonds you can get the same look with CZ (Cubic Zirconia) for a lot less and still have that sparkle. Some popular looks are chandelier, drop and dangle silver earrings. A really popular trend is light colored metals like silver, white gold and platinum. Celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Carrie Underwood and Penelope Cruz all favor the drop silver earrings. All of these celebs are wearing earrings covered in diamonds but a less expensive alternative is to look into wearing CZ, especially for a glamourous event like a Prom, black-tie dinner, formal ball, etc. Not only will the earrings look great and sparkle like a real diamond, you'll feel like a glamourous movie- star without dropping some serious scrilla.

Here are three styles of celebrity silver earrings that are very close to what the celebrities are wearing and will give you a similar look when you are on a budget.

 The first style is a CZ Chandelier similar to what Kim Kardashian is wearing.

 Tear drop CZ earrings.

This next style is similar to what Carrie Underwood is wearing.

 Drop CZ Earrings

Last we have a style that is similar to what Penelope Cruz is wearing.

 Cubic Zirconia Chandelier Earrings.

In the midst of the hectic chaos I call "life" I had a mini epiphany last night that shocked me: Its already the end of April and May is around the corner, meaning->

1. Its almost Mother's Day! (Sunday May 9th)
2. Wedding season is in full throttle and
3. Summer is here! Beach weather!

I honestly feel like Easter weekend was just a few days ago, not weeks. Time just passes by too quickly!

After my realization I went into a small frenzy to find the perfect gift for my mom. She can be picky and already has most of everything she wants. Plus at my age flowers don't exactly suffice unless I get those huge $85-$100+ bouquets. I love my mom but I'm strapped for cash!

She's a huge jewelry fanatic- she's the source of my fashion sense and love of jewelry, well some of it at least. So in honor of our shared love of jewelry I'm going to get her a cubic zirconia ring, once I can decide which one. She doesn't come online often so I'm not worried about divulging too much information. I'm going to pick between these three:

These cubic zirconia (or CZ) rings are fabulous (I'm tempted to get one for myself too!) and not expensive at all. They'll last her (and me) years! Beats buying flowers or chocolates that last a week, maybe. Gotta' love cubic zirconia, you get the look and shine of a diamond for less than half the price!

While on the topic, does everyone else know what they are doing or getting for Mom? If you're still looking, maybe this collection of CZ jewelry will help get the gift juices flowing. The jewelry is by Zulu Moon and they have an online coupon till May 1st (listed below)! I'll be taking full advantage of that! With their huge selection, you'll find plenty of things to Mom's liking.
