Denim goes with everything, It can be dressed up or down to suit any occasion. It is a base neutral, but not black or grey. It is seasonless. The new combination of structure and stretch makes everyone in every pant look amazing. It is more friendly to DIY adjustments and emergency pants-to-shorts conversions than any other fabric known to man. The more worn out it gets, the cooler the look. Pretty this season are cropped jackets, rompers, vests, ruffle skirts and fabrics that look like ole blue but are much more lightweight and summer-y. St. Tropez had it all this year and denim continues to be a global phenomenon.
Florida based designer Michele Paredes loves shoes and jewelry and decided to combine that passion into a new collection of luxurious, embellished sandals ideal for stretching summer beyond Labor Day. Stones and crystals add a touch of flash to these hand-made flat thong sandals in metallic leathers. “Women feel glamorous when they wear something sparkly. It does not matter whether they are on a run to the market or dressed up for a night on the town” says Michele. Her Starla sandal collection inspired by sunshine, endless beaches and the casual elegant lifestyle of Florida keeps that breezy, tropical feeling going year-round. www.starlasandals.com
