Summer Essentials...part 5.

The Little White Dress

The suns out and it looks like it’s here to stay! Nothing says summer like a little white dress. With a slight summer glow and a few accessories any white dress can be the perfect daytime brunch dress or an early evening cocktail dress. For day; pair with sandals and a messenger bag to get around town. Don’t have time to change before evening plans? Throw on a belt, heels and bright cardigan and your set!

1. Tibi scoop neck dress $298

2. J Crew Cashmere crew neck cardigan $158

3. Linea Pelle Studded split belt $198

4. Jimmy Choo Patent leather wedge espadrilles $395

Tuesday try me...Tone me!

THIS SHOE TONES YOUR MUSCLES AND BURNS CALORIES WHILE YOU WALK! need we say more?

We have all seen toning shoes that magically lift your butt and tone your calves. Thats all great, except that they look like corrective footwear. The New Balance 1100 toning shoe (also available in silver) is super cool looking in addition to actually providing visible results. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Available at our favorite shopping spot: CANVAS boutique and gallery in Malibu.

Summer Essentials...part 4.

Everyone looks good in STRIPES (the right kind that is…). A navy and white horizontal strip tee or tank is the perfect way to make those old faithful cutoff shorts look like new. When picking a striped tee or tank, a narrow horizontal stripe is typically more flattering than heavy lines. Working a stripe into the right evening look: pair it with a heel, white skinny jeans and a blazer (if the weather is cool enough). Throw in some gold jewelry and you are ready for a night out!

1. Saint James Naval II tee $115

2. Paige Denim venice cropped skinny jean $165

3. Alexis Bittar woven teardrop earrings $185
