It is not the first time, we have seen and loved the socks either added to your ski Bunny potential you previously discovered on Jacquelyn Jablonski to our vision.

They sell for US$ 234 at Colette, form socks for which you want to make a statement to friend or beloved statement.

After previously seen, some teaser pictures and a video campaign, it was a full parade yesterday, the entire collection to light brought. Alber Elbaz’ expected pieces were there: the asymmetric disheveled, clothes that complicated jewelry, the statement Heels.Die was overall aesthetic similar – with some conflicting colors and prints look nothing sophistication of a Lanvin show almost garish – but then we the point is supposed to create something younger, cheaper, more accessible. And to this end, there are certainly some great pieces value picking up and styling with your own touch.

Described as “24-hour chic”, this bag can be worn daytime as a messenger or evenings as a clutch simply by removing the handle. A trend we are seeing more and more of as consumers demand more options for their dollars. It’s a trend that I really like too!

Although I’m excited this bag can be carried as a clutch, I have to say my favorite element is the handle itself! Little gold squares woven with tan leather create a very sophisticated edge that contrasts nicely to all of the stud-work we have been seeing lately. The fold-over top can also be worn upright simply by moving the handle and tassle to the top of the bag. Thereby eliminating my biggest complaint of foldover-bags which is wasted space! It’s a nifty little trick that doesn’t lose much in the design department when worn that way.

Inside, the design doesn’t stop. Two internal pouches and one zipped pocket with a detachable vanity mirror provide the storage spaces and items you need. (I love it when designers include extra little touches like mirrors with their bags!) A cream colored canvas finishes the bag.

For $395, it’s hard to beat this fabulous bag!Shop Tory Burch Boutique at NetaPorter

It’s that time of the year again! It’s time to go to the beach. So, do you have any beach dresses that you would wear? You should always have a stock of them in your closet if you are a frequent beach goer. You wouldn’t want to wear the same one each time. Below, I am going to give you the top 8 must have beach dresses…

8. Effie scarf dress

Price: $158.00 at jcrew.com
Really, I don’t like the dress all that much. Probably because of the color, but my friend on the other hand really likes the dress. I do however like how the dress overlaps. I think it would make a good dress for the beach.

7. Twist Strap Goddess Dress

Price: $39.00 at ardenb.com
This is a purple dress that has a stretch top with a free flowing bottom. I like it, because it is purple and purple is one of my favorite colors. What do you think of it? Add in some bangles and it will look gorgeous!

6. The Yellow Beach Dress

Price: $19.99 at victoriassecret.com
I’m not a big fan of yellow clothes, but I think this one would be acceptable to wear to the beach. This is a hot halter that will give you some fun in the sun. It has a ruched empire waist, A-line, Gold O-ring hardware straps and ties at the neck.

5. Nanette Lepore Lovina Beach Dress in Calypso

Price: $348.00 at revolveclothing.com
I like this dress. It has side pockets and is just adorable! Nanette brings up some stunning clothing, I admit that. This will definitely stop him in his tracks! I know it over three hundred dollars, but if you have the money, then you should buy it!

4. O’Neill Indian Summer Dress

Price: $42.00 at zappos.com
This dress is in full bloom. I like the flowers that are going down the side and it is just right for the beach. The shoulder straps are adjustable, which is what I like. I don’t like those shirts/dresses with shoulder straps that are not adjustable.

3. Breezy Halter Dress

Price: $34.50 at 6pm.com
Since I really like the halter styles, I like this dress. It looks so free flowing. My only complaint would be at the beach, there is a lot of wind and this dress will definitely blow, so you better make sure you have something that is worth seeing under the dress! It will fit perfect over a swimsuit.

2. Beach Dress/Skirt Cover-Up

Price: $365.00 at bloomingdales.com
This is a gorgeous, long maxi dress cover-up that is perfect for the beach. It comes in bright colors, which is perfect for being in the sun. Wear some high heels and a great necklace with it and you will be ready to go into town. Wear flip-flops and a bikini under it and you can use it as a cover up. Roll the smocking on your waist and you can wear it as a skirt.

1. Halter Top Beach Dress

Price: $49.99 at usa.frenchconnection.com
This one is really cute. It isn’t bright colors, but that is okay. The neat designs on it will really stand out and it’s white, so it will go good in the sun. As I said before, I like the halter style and that’s why I put it at number one.

With all of these dresses on the list, it is hard to choose just one, so feel free to choose as many of them as you want! You should have numerous ones in your closet this summer. So, which ones do you like the most?

Sandals and summer go hand-in-hand. I have a hard enough time wearing shoes, let alone putting on a pair of socks to go with them. That’s the beautiful part about wearing sandals; no socks need to be involved! I’ve done some searching and came up with 7 must have sandals that I think are perfect for the warmer days of summer.

7. Leia Sandals by Camper

Sold for $128.24 at endless.com

These suede sandals look both comfortable and classy. I like the double straps that cross over the front of the foot; it seems to add a different feel to the shoe. I also really like the way the back of the sandal holds the heel in place. I’ve had shoes in the past that simply slipped off my foot, since there wasn’t anything holding my foot in place. I think these shoes would be great with a sundress, Capri pants, or even a pair of slim fitting jeans. The lack of a heel makes them a bit more versatile.

6. T-thong Patent Leather Sandals by Saks Fifth Avenue

Sold for $128.99 at saksfifthavenue.com

These are available in both black and red. The black will go with many more outfits than the red will, but I think the shiny red patent leather is fantastic! There is a slight heel to add a bit of height, but it isn’t so high that it makes it difficult to maneuver in. I think these have a fun and summer feel to them. I also like the buckle on the front strap. Being able to adjust the sandal in two different areas allows for a better fit all over.

5. Stacy Leather Sandals by bebe

Sold for $149.00 at bebe.com

These 5 inch heels are perfect for adding some excellent height, which is something I need at times. They will definitely keep my slacks from dragging on the ground, but the heel isn’t so high and spindly that I’d feel off-balance. So, I’d have the additional height without needing to perform a balancing act each time I wore them. I like the open-toe aspect as well. This feature is great for showing of newly painted toenails! The rivets along the front of the shoe add a bit of flair and these would even go with a pair of jeans.

4. Priscilla Halter-back Sandal by Johnston and Murphy

Sold for $69.99 at johnstonmurphy.com

This is another pair of sandals available in both black and red leather. I find the snake print to be rather classy. I also like the fact that there aren’t any buckles on these sandals, making them easy to slip on and off. The memory foam cushion and straps lined with leather add to the comfort of these sandals. They have just enough heel to provide some additional height. I have large feet, so I prefer sandals with thin straps. I find that narrow straps tend to make my feet look a bit more feminine.

3. Talca Sandals by Born

Sold for $69.99 at eddiebauer.com

It’s often difficult for me to find a pair of sandals that have great arch support, which is important when there is a lot of walking involved. This pair of sandals has all the comfort and support necessary for a long day out on the town. These are also available in a variety of colors. The price is reasonable enough that I could get a couple of pairs to go with my vast wardrobe. I probably wouldn’t be able to wear this with a fancy dress, but they would definitely go with just about everything else I own.

2. Strappy Slip-on Sandal by Chaco

Sold for $70 at garnethill.com

I figured everyone needs at least one pair of sandals that are suitable for water activities. These are definitely the type I would choose. They have great arch support, excellent coverage with multiple straps, and are easy to get on. I like the way the sandal can be tightened by simply tugging on the loose end of the webbing. I also prefer the way the webbing wraps around the big toe to keep the sandal in place. These are great for canoeing, wearing to the water park, or even when watering the flowers.

1. Circuitry Sandal by Chico’s

Sold for 23.80 at chicos.com

Having a simple pair of slip-on sandals is a must. I really like the platinum color this style is available in. I’m not usually drawn to sandals with wide straps, but the silver buckle is a great feature that sort of breaks up the thick appearance of the strap. The ergonomic footbed allows for the shoe to nestle the foot better, providing a better fit. These would be a great pair of shoes to have sitting right by the front door, ready to slip on with just about any summer outfit.

I found so many amazing pairs of sandals, but chose these as my top 7 must have sandals. Were there any pairs that you liked as well? Have you come across any styles that you feel are the perfect pair for summer? Let me know. I’d love to hear about your find!

Sarah Burton has been a longtime colleague of the late designer, Lee McQueen, since 1996 and was appointed head of design for the label’s women’s wear in 2000.

It is called the Dangler Bag and it is by a designer called VBH. The designer is known more for their envelope clutches, it’s no wonder I was stumped. This bag has such an intriguing design though. I love how it gracefully hangs down from Sarah Jessica Parker’s hand, as if it was an extension of her arm. The ball shape and loop handle make this bag so unique, it’s sure to draw the attention of an entire room! Also from this designer, you can see a VBH stingray cuff wrapped around her wrist. Such pretty accessories! And so perfect for the occasion!

The vibrant patterns, when you look at them independently are very unique, but because the underlying tones are from the same palette, the overall look is cohesive when meshed together. Almost like a Monet painting, dizzying up close, but very beautiful from afar.

I love the cute, folk-y look and the baby doll silhouette with bell sleeves. Absolutely different from what we’ve been seeing recently and a reason to start getting excited about shopping for Fall! $515 available at Nordstrom.

Sports seem to be taking over the world at the moment, so its no wonder that this trend is back! Forget your tracksuit and tennis skirt, though, this isn’t a straight revival of sports clothes. This time its mixed with girly influences to give it a glamorous look… I’ve been searching out the best seven ways to wear it, and here they are!

1. Corso Como Fred Perry Tennis Dress

Price: $68 at asos.com
This dress is perfect for the monochrome look! Team with a black belt, black heels and stylish hair (think a glamorous bun rather than a sporty pony) plus some stacked bangles and a cute necklace. It gives a stylish, sexy and cute take on sports-luxe, without making it look like you are on your way to the gym. I love it!

2. Fred Perry Jessica Tennis Dress

Price: $76 at asos.com
Okay, so this is very similar to another one, but I couldn’t resist including it. It’s got such great structure, and it’s perfect for vintage inspired sports-luxe! The contrasting red and white is a great starting point, so simply add red heels and a red belt, or go casual with nude heels and sunglasses. An effortless way to channel sports, and retro!

3. Red Stripe Over the Knee Socks

Price: $10 at asos.com
I was unsure on sporty over the knee socks until a rather daring friend of mine invested in some, and teamed them with denim shorts, a vest and a ponytail. She got so many compliments, and even a few phone numbers! Remember to team them with heels, and for these ones, high reed heels would look amazing. A plain jersey dress would look super cute, too!

4. Stella Mc Cartney Tennis Dress

Price: $154 at zappos.com
This is a super cute dress, which is perfect for actually playing tennis or just looking great! The pattern on the front is all you need to dress up, so with delicate jewellery and heels, you’ll definitely look the part. The scoop neck is very flattering, and it’s just the right length… actually, there isn’t much wrong with this dress at all! Stella gets luxe-sport spot on!

5. Stella Mc Cartney Sports Skirt

Price: $94 at zappos.com
I love this skirt, which teams luxe-sports with frills, and looks absolutely gorgeous teamed with a black military jacket and heels for the monochrome look… it’s amazing! You can team so many styles, and look so stylish… I’m almost lost for words! If you buy one item to channel this look, get this skirt.

6. Betseyville Tennis Hobo Bag

Price: $30 at asos.com
Want a very simple way to rock this look? Grab this tennis print hobo bag! The colours are divine, and it’s huge, so you’ll fit everything you could possibly need inside… including a sports kit, if you wanted! Its bright enough to be a statement item on a neutral outfit, or to perfectly compliment an already stylish look… a definite winner!

7. T by Alexander Wang Football Sweatshirt

Price: $110 at shopbop.com
Channel college football in this cropped grey footie sweater, which is pinched at the shoulders to give it a flattering shape. It is quite baggy at the waist, so trousers which give you an hourglass figure are recommended, and nothing baggy or you risk looking shapeless! For best results, team with a tight black skirt and heels, and a messy bun. Gorgeous!

Tennis is the huge trend, being the favourite in the collections, but I really like the football sweater too… it’s so hard to choose what to buy! These seven looks all look great, though, and are the perfect way to rock the trend without breaking the bank. Have you found a gorgeous luxe-sport piece? Please share it with me!
