It’s been a busy last few days as I start transitioning in summer. Here are three things I’m currently lusting over:
Denim: I have a new found love (yet again) with the denim shirt. Pairing it with statement necklaces and perhaps a bright colored jean is the way to go this summer.
Toe Caps: Probably my favourite shoe detail right now. Buy a pair with a neutral color-block, one pair that has a super bright color pop and one with a metal tip. You’re set.
Getting healthy and during summer is the best time for it. I’m doing a 3 day a week raw food program for 4 weeks with Organic Lives. Green drinks and smoothies packed full of power and goodness for my body.

Typically sought after as autumn and winter treatment, exotic snake details exude luxury and richness. I see snake like I see leopard, never just a trend but a constant in fashion for anytime of the year. This Summer 2012 exotic snakes take center stage as we see it in bright and pastel hues and multi-colored treatments in fashion across the board.

Most times when you think of a clutch you think of those small wee ones ladies carry to formal events. For Spring/ Summer 2012 the clutches being sent down the runway are large enough to hold all necessary stuff a woman needs daily. From leather to synthetic, plain and structured to ornamented and slouchy, clutches come both in neutral colors and in brighter hues. Here’s some inspiration for you to drool over:
If you can’t decide on color Phillip Lim’s duo-color clutch does the trick. Lemon yellow on one side and summer white on the flip side. $400, www.ssense.com
One feature I really like on a clutch is a removable strap, like this one by House of Harlow 1960. I’m digging the geometric shapes and the periwinkle color on the clutch as well. $225, www.houseofharlow1960.com

One of the must have jewelry items that will complete your wardrobe this Spring/Summer is a choker necklace. The draw of these necklaces is to accentuate the shoulder lines. They should be worn with an open neck, strapless or a plunging neckline garment. I think any one is able to wear a choker style but if you have a longer neck you can adorn bolder pieces and if you have a shorter neck you should sport daintier styles. Whether it be a button up shirt, an evening gown or a basic t-shirt, choker necklaces are the best way to make a statement simply and quickly.
