Summer Looks... By Occasion

Whether you're heading to The Hamptons or Toronto Beaches, it's always fun to look cute on the beach. This look is for the girly beach chick who likes to look cute yet chic. Look above: Topshop Bathing Suit and Cover-up, Michael Kors Sunglasses and Bag, and Tory Burch Sandals.

It's always nice to take a break from work in the summer and go away. Sometimes more money is spent on getting ready for a trip, then actually on the trip. If you're heading to Europe or somewhere exotic this summer, make sure to pack a comfortable pair of wedges and a floral maxi dress. Look above: Miu Miu Purse, Chloe Wedges, Michael Kors Watch, YSL Lipstick, and T-Bags Dress.

Michael Kors Fall '11 RTW

Yesterday, Michael Kors hit the runway for New York Fashion Week. Even though I couldn't be in NYC, I was able to watch the show online with some MK colleagues. His Fall '11 RTW collection was full of FUR, a natural colour pallet (grey, nude, camel, black), dresses over pants, platforms, and cuffs as bracelets and necklaces. I especially loved the lavish fur vests and coats that were shown in many different shades. Here are some of my favourite looks from the show:

With a couple weddings coming up, I recently started a dress hunt. I have been looking for a form-fitting, neutral-coloured dress and so far I have had a lot of luck. I actually tried on option 1- the Alice + Olivia dress, and I fell in love. With a pair of nude pumps, my outfit will be complete. Let the search continue! 

1. Alice + Olivia, $597

Released TODAY, Texas by OPI shares a modern-American style with 12 new shades. With a mix of brights and neutral shades, Texas is perfect for Spring/Summer 2011. The collection includes:

L-R: Do You Think I'm Tex-y?, Houston, We Have A Purple, Too Hot Pink To Hold 'Em, and Y'all Come Back To Hear?

L-R: Big Hair...Big Nails, Guy Meets Gal-veston, Don't Mess With OPI, and Suzi Loves Cowboys.

L-R: San Tan-tonio, Austin-tatious Turquoise, It's Totally Fort Worth It, and I Vant To Be A Lone-Star.

I'm totally coveting "San Tan-tonio" and "Houston We Have A Purple!"
