As I write this, it is about -18C outside, and the thought of a tropical paradise is very inviting indeed.

Swarovski is featuring this theme in its spring/summer 2013 campaign. Lots of bright colours inspired by various tropical locales. Swarovski is making available some fun apps for IOS and Android phone platforms and their microsite has some fun styling content that will brighten up your gloomy winter day and make you that much readier for spring.

This is one of the showstopper pieces for the collection, leather adorned with crystals and inspired by the hot colours in those tropical countries.
