Lulu Frost Spring 2012 Collection

Lulu Frost's Spring '12 presentation was a beach-inspired oasis complete with models relaxing on lounge chairs and slick surfboards — painted by Sam Brigham — hanging from the ceiling. The whimsical line, which was inspired by Lisa Salzer's childhood days spent on the beaches of Montauk and the classic '60s surf flick, Endless Summer, highlighted natural, natural stones juxtaposed with a series of modern twists. Raw stripes of suede were intertwined in chain bracelets, oversized raw-cute stones were paired with gold spikes, and hand-shaped brass beads were adhered to angular bangles. Salzer also showed an amazing array of ornate ankle bracelets, some of which were connected to a toe ring and others that wrapped all the way up to the knee. Pretty awesome. We're already predicting this as a major Spring trend. Check out more highlights from the collection below, then peruse the slideshow to see more.

  • Trends: Organic statement necklaces, suede-lased chain bracelets, oversized earrings, raw-cut stones, and ornate ankle bracelets.
  • Colors: Brass, seafoam green, gold, blue, silver, yellow.
  • Key Piece: A beautiful layered bib necklace made out of various natural stones, gold spikes, and sea-shell inspired molds.
  • Who Would Wear It: Girls looking for unique, standout accessories.

    >> For Spring 2012, designer Lisa Salzer culled inspiration from a childhood spent on sunny Montauk beaches and the 1960s surf-travel movie Endless Summer. These influences were evident not only in the way the collection was presented — retro-suited models lounged amongst surf boards and driftwood strewn with exotic flowers — but in the materials used in the jewelry as well: rough-cut stones, oversized pearls, and burnished metal. Amongst the glittering layers of statement necklaces, vintage-tinged cuffs, and mixed-media earrings was another accessory of note — one that's been popping up somewhat regularly elsewhere as of late: anklets. Here, they were plentiful and plenty intriguing — undulating leaf-chains crawled up the leg, while rock-adorned styles draped to the toe.
