Take your shoes to new heights with a little sophistication and flirtation with oxford heels. These preppy pumps can spruce up any day-wear attire and add some chic appeal to a skirt suit for work.
Make your future bright with each step in vibrant colored oxfords. Sold by popular brands such as Urban Outfitters and Miss Me, it's gonna be hard to miss yet alone overlook these poppin' fun footwear. Warm-weather-friendly and complimentary to any causal outfit consisting of a graphic tee or boyfriend cropped jeans, these flats with a bit of menswear inspiration can be infused easily into your everyday look.
Many of my clients who want a little menswear influence incorporated into their wardrobe are not huge fans of the bright and bold colors, and instead prefer the neutral tones like a classic black or solid cognac or taupe color which are all very versatile with other closet pieces. I advice however, when wearing toned down brogues to amp up your outfit with a bright colored skirt or top and of course when wearing brogues in fluorescent shades to keep the outfit basic in colors.

WTF? What's The Fashion? Sleeveless Dresses

Sleeveless dresses are a summer staple. They are a sophisticated yet simple number that can create an effortlessly fabulous look. Any sleeveless dress whether strapless, tank or spaghetti strapped, can easily be dressed up with a jacket, a pair of open-toed heels and shimmering jewelry or toned down with large-framed glasses, a floppy hat and bedazzled sandals. To me, Halle Berry can do no wrong and looks gorgeous as always in her figure-friendly, curve-hugging silhouette. But for this summer trend, it is recommended to go a little more flirty and a little less sultry like Jessica and Kate's frock. Either way you choose to wear your sleeveless dress, you will always be able to show off that "I don't need to try hard to look this good" mystique!

Befriend or Suspend The Trend: The Romper

Every now and again there comes a time in every woman/girl's life where she must make a life changing decision about a new trend. Go with the flow, or just say no! When it comes to this trend, I vote to befriend it. Rompers are a continued and growing trend from last year. The vogue isn't cut for all shapes and sizes unfortunately.  If you posses the figure to sport one of these, my advice is to visit the nearest department store for the latest and greatest of the rompers. Both commodities above are available at Bloomingdale's. The pink romper by French Connection is sleek with its silk material, while the Cynthia Vincent one is trendier with its navajo inspired pattern. Outfit suggestions for the pink romper are pairing it with nude or black heels. The tribal romper can be dressed down with a black cardigan and brown sandals or dressed up with a black blazer and glitzy gold heels.

GREEN

This large leather PS1 bag isn't for the timid. Green bags are the spring trend to follow. They are a bold statement that mirror the greenery of the spring season, and will transition nicely with summer outfits as well. But buyer beware ... if you are not ready to take on the responsibilities of becoming a trend setter please take caution because purchasing a green handbag will result in ultimate trend setting status this year.
