    Ole! A Touch Of Spain In Your Summer Style!

    Flowy white dresses and light linen layers are still feminine and flirty summer staples, but this season, designers are really stepping it up! The theme for this summer is bold and bright! Pop colors, ruffles and the hourglass shape are taking over the neutral shades and simple silhouettes of summers past. All these stimulating colors and fun details are reminiscent of traditional Spanish clothing twisted with modern edge, giving this style trend an air of classic sophistication while making a sexy and chic statement all at once! Cropped and embellished boleros are perfect summer outerwear, covering just enough for cooler summer nights and really standing out as the key piece to an ensemble. Or really vamp up the sexy, feminine side and sashay your way into sunshine with a tiered and ruffled dress like a modern day Flamenco dancer! Girly details just not your thing? No worries! Leggings with high-waists and other Spanish-inspired details are definitely in, as are decorated button-downs and embroidery and embellishments on everything! Check out the slide-show for more eye-catching, colorful items inspired by the beauty and culture of Spain!

    Vintage Fashionistas Go Boho!

    First there was Boho, then Nouveau Boho, then Boho Chic, and now it's Foho. Or maybe that was Boho, then Boho Chic, and then Nouveau Boho...whatever. Add in French Bobo and a recent reference I saw to Woe-ho and it's enough to make a girl's head spin. But any way you look at it, and whatever you want to call it, women seem to love this easy-breezy style of seventies silhouettes, billowy blouses, crochet trim, soft worn-in denim and traditional embroideries. While Sienna Miller, Kate Moss and the Olsen twins might have started the craze, and others may tell you it's on the outs, I still know plenty of gals who aren't willing to give up these comfy clothes just yet. This is one style where authentic vintage clothing is way cooler than new. So just click the slideshow and go boho!

    MINT Jodi Arnold Spring 2009: Creative Embroidery and the ...

    I'm swooning over the Spring 2009 collection of MINT Jodi Arnold featuring creative embroidery and the color nude. A shift dress ($561) is embellished with strips of ribbon that have been pleated and hand embroidered. Black chiffon lining decorates the hem of the sleeves and neckline. The ribbon embroidery wraps towards the back of the dress, along the bottom. The intricate hand embroidered work is just breath-taking! But what I love the most is this this continuing theme of the color nude with the Side Tie Mini Dress ($561) and the Cascade Dress ($418). Both dresses are modern and stunning. I love the pairing with the sandals, either silver or gray, to go in tune with the muted shade of nude. Take a peek at more pictures by clicking over to Coquette!

    Sheer Elegance: 5 Artistic Sheer Bras

    I've fallen in love with a lot of new (and some not so new) bras that are composed primarily of sheer fabrics and embroidered with all kinds of elegant patterns. When the customers in the fitting room ring that doorbell and ask me to deliver them a specific bra, I find myself adding a few of these lovely selections to the group. They're not always the most practical bras. Often the embroidery will show through tight fitting tops. I think the best way to describe them is simply "classy". The sheer fabrics are sexy no doubt, but the intricate embroidery adds so much elegance that the eye cannot help but be drawn to the artistry of the garment over what lies beneath. I own at least one of each of the beauties in the slide show and they all give me that extra boost of sexy confidence throughout the day.
