White Hot Fashion And Accessories For Summer

Radiant Orchid may be the Pantone Color of The Year, but white is what really is hot for Spring and Summer.  The trend  of  wearing "white on white" was all over the runways last January.  So it became very chic to wear white early this year.  Now that Memorial Day has passed, even those playing by the rules can bring out the white. It's a clean slate and always stylish for Summer.

Here: 12 Of My Favorite Finds

Tory Burch Laser Cut Leather
Perforated clothing and accessories couldn't be hotter this season. Paint them white and your look becomes hot! Love both of these looks from
Tory Burch

Zuhair Murad
White Mesh Honeycomb Dress
A vision of elegance. Now 49% off at
SSENSE

Agate Cuff with Stone
Charlene K's wide cuff makes a fashion statement in gold and white.
Simply Soles

Jarlo Wonderland Maxi Dress
The mesh details make this one easy breezy dress.
Nasty Gal

GIVENCHY Lace and Mesh Derby 

I just love the combination of feminine lace and rock star studs on this "borrow from the boys" brogue.

 Joe's Jeans Spotless Jeans
They're white hot and don't stain! I wouldn't believe it until I saw them myself on Good Morning America. They really put these jeans to the test with chocolate and other gooey messy products. The spills just ran off! Genius!  Now on sale, better hurry.
Nordstrom's

Trimmed with Swarovski crystals, these sunnies will really brighten up your face!

All cotton and so wearable in the warmer months. Don't we all need some sleeves when we enter the movie theater or a restaurant?  This is your piece to wear with everything, and it has an affordable price.

A Memorial Day Moment

(Via Slim Paley)

Memorial Day - the unofficial first day of Summer. School is soon to be out for the season, and the weather is finally warming up. It is a day to relax, pack a picnic, hit the beach, go for a swim, dine alfresco, work in the garden and maybe do a little sale shopping.  Most importantly, we remember and honor all those who gave and continue to give of themselves, so that we can be free and safe on this holiday and each day of the year.  A heartfelt thank you to our troops.
