 Q: What are my shoe options for the summer months?
A: There are many options out there at the moment but I would have to go with three different types. The ballet slipper is great and has been seen on the likes of Mischa Barton and Hillary Duff. The ballet slipper looks fabulous with slightly flooded jeans. If you feel like going for the surfer girl look you can’t get any better then rainbow or reef sandals that are a tradition in the surf community. If you are feeling like you need a little more height than the first two options than jelly pump sandals might just work for you. Each one of these styles holds their place for the summer months but which one fits your lifestyle?


Q: What are some of your favorite skirts to wear when the weather gets warmer?
A: There are three different styles that are all very different but each one has an occasion. The pink Juicy Couture mini is perfect for a late lunch with your friends after a day at the beach. It is casual but perfectly acceptable summer day wear (at least in California). For the forth of July BBQ with your parents you might need to be a little more conservative. Anthropologies flowing knee length pleaded skirt is the perfect remedy for looking great, staying cool and still pleasing your parents. Knowing how many of us live in denim I felt a good denim skirt is needed for the summer and who better to have made it then Citizens of humanity. The skirt has a little more flare then just a plain mini. This is a wrap around mini done in dark denim with two big buttons on the side. It is definitely fun and I promise you a great fit.

Q: What are some different sunglass styles for summer?
A: Choosing a good pair of sunglasses for summer is super important not only for your eyes but for style reasons. Gucci has been doing and amazing job with sunglasses and this is a perfect example of just simple yet classic Gucci’s. If you feel like you need a little more of a funky shape yet you like the classic black these Moscino’s might be the sunglasses for you. Versace has always been known for their very different designs and their use of color. I thought that you might like some idea but unfortunately sunglass shopping can be like a treasure hunt, so good luck.
