Nothing says easy breezy summer girl like the maxi dress. Long, flowing and effortlessly stylish in crisp white linens, cottons and lace--perfectly fun and flirty summer fabrics. It's my favorite and most comfortable summer staple to don during warm, leisurely days by pairing with flat sandals (try See by Chloé's Jelly Gladiator) and a lightweight tote (try Marcy by Marc Jacobs' Standard Supply Tote).

A perfect example of summer-to-fall transitional footwear, splurging on this moto-bootie can toughen up your biker-inspired looks and balance out the frilliest of frocks. Wear the ankle collar zipped up for sleek style or unzip and snap the collar down for an edgier vibe.

The one shoulder look was a popular theme for spring/summer 09--from Jil Sander to Michael Kors and scores of other designers-- which looks great on the body-con dress. The Row's chic Italian-made long sleeve 'Warwick' dress, available at Barneys New York, is definitely a style splurge, so if you need to save look over to Jay Godfrey's one-shouldered number with 3/4 sleeve. Or you can get this major look for a mini price (in comparison to the others) with TopShop's 3/4 sleeve one shoulder jersey dress, available in purple (shown), coral or a navy blue & white striped pattern.
Slouched short cowboy boots add a western-chic touch to your ensemble. Try the microsuede upper of Connie's 'Dolly', the rounded square toe of Rampage's 'Lucky' or Forever 21's Brianda slouched boot. They look great paired with tucked in jeans, a mini skirt and especially denim shorts like Forever 21's 'Florelle' frayed denim short.
Turn heads in a figure-flattering LBD with bustier styling. Subtly seductive yet classically sophisticated a little black number can play many roles in your wardrobe. Add a belt and blazer for an office look or take it out for a night on the town with strappy stilettos.
High-gloss leggings with a wet or 'liquid' look are an essential and wildly versatile. Up your style quotent by going with a shirred or ruched leg and pair with everything from tunics to over-sized blazers & sweaters to tanks & tees and even a flirty frock. Personally, I think they look best with stilettos but ballerinas are cute too.
You've got can't miss style in these gladiator-style strapped sandals that give off a tough-girl chic edge and can easily be paired with cuffed or rolled high-waisted shorts, free-flowing harems or a racer back maxi dress.
These casually chic u-shaped sandals will look perfect paired with flirty frocks, boyfriend-skinny-or even wide-leg jeans, a tunic and leggings and everything in between.
style is so personal . . . it is a visual extension of thoughts, feelings and moods, which is why it can change ever so subtly or in the most grandeur fashion and, when it is genuine, can never truly be wrong.
