Hippie Chic Koolaburra Sandals Are Looking Right For Summer

There’s a definite BoHo vibe on the summer streets right now that is the perfect anecdote to girls teetering along in skyscraper platform sandals that they can’t walk in (hint, hint) or the obnoxious sound of rubber flip-flops hitting the pavement.

Hippie Chic flat sandals with organic embellishments like brilliant feathers, streaming fringe, or some funky beading are a fun and fab addition to your summer wardrobe. Pair with battered and rolled jeans, cut-offs, or a flowing maxi dress. Please don’t ruin the natural vibe with an orange fake tan.

Alberta Ferretti Resort 2011 Collection

Alberta Ferretti Resort 2011 collection looks interesting and chic. The color pallete is very diverse, starting from classic blacks and whites, gradually evolving into nudes and then bursting into plenty of fuchsias, purples, yellows and oranges.

The inspiration for the Resort 2011 range Alberta Ferretti took from northern Africa, Marrakech specifically. And in the result we have pretty tribal prints, bold combinations of tones, draping and lots of layering. Caftans, variety of printed pants, flowing long gowns – all pieces look fabulous!

Arabian Nights Coin Decoration For Princess Of Persia Fashion Look

Ever since the Prince of Persia was released, the fashion changes its definitions about what is sexy, because the Arabian look turns to be naughty and playful. Therefore, the fashion designers created special collections that shimmer in any wardrobe.

The tendency of the summer is surely the lavish and the sexy look that the Arabian outfits are adding into the fashion lists.

Go for blue colored tunics, combined with gold elements. Silver is also part of the Arabian look, so add some massive silver jewels. Sequins and rhinestones on your top will also turn you to a sexy Arabian goddess.

Asos is the fashion brand that suggests the best, when it comes to this outrageous look. Their tiered coin-drop earrings are in the trend, for they change the entire idea of your look. Black mini dresses, made of satin and combined with exotic patterns are another way to grab the attention and to look as desert princess.

How to Wear All Over Floral

Flowers are always a dominant theme, reinterpreted season after season, and it’s about time that we devote ourselves truly to this blooming print.

Designers are going into overdrive, creating looks completely centered on these timeless florals. For S/S 2010, both Dolce & Gabbana and Tory Burch showcased head to toe floral looks that were an eye catching explosion of color.

To keep from looking too much like the wallpaper in your grandmother’s bedroom, wear two separate pieces in different but complementary floral prints.

At Dolce & Gabanna, the floral looks were all about separates: floral on a red blouse paired with floral on black bloomer shorts.

This may seem like a clashing combination, but the hues of red within both pieces, the red roses on the shorts, and the red background on the blouse tied them together for a unified look.

Color coordination is a simple trick to make all over florals look chic, rather than over-the-top.

Juxtaposing different sized florals together is another trick to break up the repetitiveness of an all over floral look.

If one piece has large florals scattered sparingly, balance the print out by pairing it with a piece that has a dense conglomeration of close-knit florals. Shape matters when it comes to flowers, and in this case opposites attract.

No matter what kind of floral prints you play with, make sure that you wear them on sharp and sophisticated shapes. Florals already keep the eye moving all on their own and don’t need any extra oomph from extroverted details like ruffles, bows, and pleats to stand out. Keep away from the frills, and stick to clean lines and simple tailoring.

Meet the New Girl: Samantha Gradoville Is the Best Thing to Happen to Nebraska Since Saddle Creek

Newcomer Samantha Gradoville is putting Omaha, Nebraska, back on the map. Yep, the city that gave us Conor Oberst, Tim Kasher, and other musical stalwarts also produces fine corn-fed models. The 20-year-old Gradoville got her big break when she was handpicked to open and close Prada’s fall 2010 collection in Milan. That throws her in the elite company of Kristen McMenamy, Sasha Pivovarova, and Daria Werbowy. A week later, she made an exclusive appearance at the Miu Miu show in Paris. Since then, the Boggle fan has been living up to her post-runway buzz with an editorial in W, shot by Craig McDean; the cover of Italian D; and modeling for the Yves Saint Laurent, Donna Karan, and Prada resort collections.
