What are your favorite Summer Fashion Colors? Bright and pure colors such as coral or white really uplift my spirit and allow be to become one with the season. I love wearing light and airy clothes, loose clothes, and adding a classy boho flare to my summer style. Accessorizing in gold is a key color for a great mix of Summer Fashion Colors! The corals I enjoy most are either light and peachy, or a more bright and vibrant shade like Calypso Coral by Bobbi Brown. Coral can be worn as a shirt color, lip color, cheek color, nail polish color, and even a pair of shorts or tights. I also enjoy coral because I feel as if it is the orange of summer, and if you know me, you know my favorite color is orange! I am in search of a coral bathing suit, please help! White is such a pure color and I enjoy wearing white to uplift my spirit and brighten my day. It is also convenient that it isn’t as hot in the sun. White is fun to wear in watch form, shirts, capris, or a romper. Adding turquoise as an accent color to white is always eye catching and always beautiful for summer. Gold, white, and turquoise is an amazing combo. Accessorizing is key! I love gold accessories against bright colors like coral and white!

Who makes it? Ralph Lauren

Where did I find it? Zappos.com

Why do I like it? High sandals and snake skin. Can you ask for a better combination? I don’t have these particular high snake skin sandals, but I do have a few pairs of that style. I really love wearing high sandals like this with boyfriend jeans, like these Sam Boyfriend Mid-Rise Jeans by Silver Jeans and keeping the neutral colors with a big LV like, Louis Vuitton Palermo GM and the Never-Full GM. This shoe is very detailed with the snake skin strap running down the front top of the foot and creating a swirl by the toes. These Maisie Sandals by Ralph Lauren Collection obtain Ralph Lauren class. I love the gold clasps around the ankles and the detailed print throughout the shoe!

Ralph Lauren Says Overalls Are Back! Spring 2010

Why do I like it? Overalls have been on and off the runway pretty much forever, and Ralph Lauren Overalls are back for Spring 2010! I love them, and their ability to be thrown on for a day out, with either a t-shirt, or like shown in this picture, a cute collared shirt. I love the look that overalls have, a relaxed, almost sloppy look, and they can only be pulled off if they are a nice pair, and worn with all nice, and the right, stuff, it can have a very preppy appeal. I would pair these Ralph Lauren Overalls with a simple black shirt like LnA Long Sleeve Zipper Pocket Tee and heels like Jeffrey Campbell Black Dip Detailing Boots. This would give them a whole new funky look! If you can wear these well, then you have just graduated to a new JAP level and you can pretty much wear whatever the heck you want!

Ralph Lauren’s statement about these was “I am inspired by the character of the worker, the farmer, the cowboy, the pioneer women of the prairies living authentically through challenging times,” he said in his program notes. “I have always admired the honesty of their work wear-the weathered jean, the sturdy overall, the jean jacket, the faded blue work shirt, the naive print of a floral dress.”

Who’s wearing it? Only the most fashionable!
