We chose some of summer's most troubling beauty and style blunders to solve in SheKnows' Summer Block Party Issue and we were thrilled to have Keiko kick us a few tips. Start browsing through our features this month and you'll see what she had to say!
Finding the right necklaces for
funky summer dress necklines
Summer style comes with a lot of funky necklines and there's a slight science to accessorizing them right. We put together a basic guide with tips on the necklace styles that go best with the many necklines in fashion today.
"A jewel neckline is the perfect canvas for a statement necklace. Try the Ombré Chain Necklace from Bauble Bar," said Keiko.

The best neon color for your skin tone
It's no secret that neons peak in summertime. The trend has been refined over the past seasons, and has even survived the colder months with more understated hues.
"Neon pink is my go-to," Keiko, who rocks a fair skin tone, said. We kind of think neons should have no rules, but we did get a few experts to chime in on a few dos. There were no don'ts.

The ultimate summer accessory roundup
What's the one accessory Keiko never leaves the house without? Find out here in our ultimate accessories roundup for summer. Hint: It will seriously change your perspective!
V-neck, halter, one-shoulder, oh my. It can be tough enough choosing a neckline let alone trying to find the right necklace to go with it. If you're stumped, we're here to help you shop for necklaces that work with whatever neckline you're wearing.
We asked Anson Gilbert, celebrity fashion stylist and style expert, for his insight into how to choose the perfect necklace for your neckline and also teamed up with fashion blogger Keiko Lynn to be our guest style editor and provide her favorite necklace picks!
1
V neckline
This classic neckline is a great way to draw focus away from broad shoulders and elongate your neck. “This makes the wearer appear taller and leaner, a strategy that celebrity stylists have used for years,” notes Gilbert. Because of these qualities of this particular neckline, it's a good idea to look for a necklace with a strong central focus. “This means going for a chain link or other standard, classic link necklace with a pendant that hits at the center of the sternum,” he advises. “A classic dainty necklace with a charm or birthstone pendant is perfect.”
Our picks: Wear this bold blue V-neck dress (asos.com, $156) with a delicate yet eye-catchingbronze and crystal pendant (forzieri.com, $188).
Our Guest Style Editor chose this Pim + Larkin necklace (Piperlime, $38). As our guest style editor, fashion blogger Keiko Lynn says, "The shape of this necklace mimics the v-neck, creating a flattering line." Meet her here!
2
Halter neckline
Pairing a necklace with a halter neckline can be tough. “Time and time again we see celebrities and pedestrians alike, getting this pairing wrong,” says Gilbert. “If you're wearing a halter neckline with a keyhole at the bust or spacing in the fabric, you're better off not wearing a necklace at all. If you're wearing a halter with full frontal coverage, channel your inner Cleopatra and opt for an ornate collar necklace,” he advises.
Our picks: Pair this pretty eyelet dress (jcrew.com, $188) with an elegant snake collar necklace(neimanmarcus.com, $115).
Our Guest Style Editor chose this cleopatra collar (Karen London, $208).
One-shoulder neckline
This is another one of the trickier necklines to pair a necklace with, but it can be done. “Because of the asymmetry of this neckline, it is smart to play with necklaces that have texture and geometric components,” Gilbert days. He suggests pairing a one shoulder neckline with a necklace of playful proportions. “What's key is making sure the necklace is long enough to clear at least two inches below the neckline.”
Our picks: Pair this one-shoulder asymmetrical chiffon dress (Nordstrom.com, $228) with a playfulbeaded cluster necklace (maxandchloe.com, $150).
Our Guest Style Editor chose a simple triangle pendant (ASOS, $11).
4
Jewel neckline
Of all the necklines, this one is one of the easiest to pair necklaces with, explains Gilbert. “You can easily wear a bib necklace, a pendant necklace, a collar necklace or just about any style necklace that you'd like,” he says.
Our picks: Pair this Alice + Olivia striped jewel neck dress (neimanmarcus.com, $297) with a mod-inspired bib necklace (nordstrom.com, $245).
Our Guest Style Editor chose a coral statement piece (Bauble Bar, $28). "A jewel neckline is the perfect canvas for a statement necklace," said Keiko.
5
Boat neckline
Since this neckline is so wide, it's best to pair it with a longer pendant necklace. Or you can choose a collar necklace. “You can also go the route of playing up the regal factor of this neckline by choosing a collar necklace that kisses this neckline, but has some small charm or design element that hangs or dangles slightly lower than the neckline,” says Gilbert.
