If you think clogs are only worn by natives of the Netherlands, think again. Nowadays, the comfortable slip on shoes are very much in fashion and are a definite must-have for fall! Wear clogs with a pair of gap skinny cords, or leggings and you’ll look fabulous! Beso.com has a great selection of clogs if you’re ready to do some shopping. Here are a couple of my finds:
If you want a fresh summer look, try a kimono inspired dress. You can find these fun dresses in most shops right now in an assortment of great prints and fabrics. The best thing about this type of dress is they can be worn to a variety of occasions, and easily transform from daytime to evening. I love this look with a great clutch, strappy sandals and earrings (less is more with this look- don’t overdo the jewelry).

Diane Von Furstenberg is one of my absolute favorite designers. If you haven’t tried on any of her dresses, do so, you’ll fall in love! Her garments are made from exquisite fabrics and she always has such interesting prints. This season is no exception with her wide range of animal printed dresses. There are so many fantastic ones that it was hard to choose only a few to showcase in this blog. I definitely have to have the Snow Pony one- Gorgeous!

Wowza! Designers have taken the wedge to new heights and I’m lovin’
it. The wedge craze has been around for quite a while, but we’re seeing fresh, over the top styles so you’ll definitely find a pair that will standout from past seasons. Today, some of the hottest styles are detailed with cork, rope and patent leather. These wedge-soled shoes make a great match with billowy skirts and cropped cargos. If you’re at all style conscious, add a pair (or two) of these wedges to your spring and summer wardrobe.

Uh, this dress is just what the doctor ordered this spring! The over-sized loose casual cut creates a comfort quality and the open neck is revealing enough to feel sexy. Green is one of my favorite colors and this shade is very soothing. Thank you, Diane Von Furstenberg, for a beautiful spring dress… that I just might have to splurge on.
