SUMMER IS ALL ABOUT great clothes
that sizzle but also will transition well from day to night or carry
over into another season.
Bat's Daughter's Ashbury Jacket (above)
is done in vibrant purple silk velvet blend imported from Europe
that is so perfect for year-round dressing but, because of the cut
and colour, is amazing for summer. It ties with a drawstring ribbon
and is highlighted by a removable (and thus interchangeable) broach.
Very hip and something you won't see on everyone!
Karanina is a brand-new line that is smoking-hot
from the Los Angeles runways. Featuring separates for spring and
fall, here are two tops that make a Florida statement. The red and
green multi-sleeveless top with a keyhole neckline is perfect for
hot summer nights.
Joe's Jeans’ latest collections are
perfect for Florida day-to-night looks. With hot tropical colours
and unique details, these are pieces you are going to want in your
closet. The coral tank's elegant drape in the back makes
it a "mucho-sexy" and much-worn top. The asymmetrical
jeans funk the look and would be perfect with any of the tops shown
here. The sunny asymmetrical Tencel tank gives this piece incredible
drape and style while making it light and easy to wear. The "twiggy"
jeans are the latest in pencil cuts for those long lean legs!
Aimisu is new on the scene, but her designs
speak volumes about her talent. This hot black halter top
enhances your bustline with silk chiffon layered over silk charmeuse
for a diaphanous effect with velvet trim.
For dressier occasions, choose a dress! Aimisu's
baby doll confection is definitely too sweet to pass up. This strapless
dress done in silk chiffon layered over silk charmeuse, it gives
an angelic appearance. The contrast of the baby blue ribbon against
the fire orange dress makes a sweet contrast.
Antonio Melani gives you sleek styles with
a fresh attitude that can take you from the day time office to evening
festivities. Get the right vibe in this white skirt and fuchsia
sizzler of a halter top.
Diane Medak's pink halter dress is
perfect for summer evenings and even carries into fall.
When jeans are the word of the day, you need to
have several different styles to cover all your fashion options!
True Religion has the great styles, colours and fabrications
that you want and definitely will keep you sizzling throughout the
year (below).
Moosejaw is a well known retailer of
sport and casual clothing. Now they have launched their own line
and included super-casual silhouettes in their assortment for guys
and girls including tees, hoodies, drawstring pants, rugby shirts,
and tanks, all with the classic Moosejaw imprint. Shown here is
the aqua tiny tank that is perfect over one of those hot new bathing
suits.
Christabelle's Closet has a slew of cute
tank tops that you make totally "yours" by selecting the
three digits that make up your area code or that of your fave person!
Cute details include a moveable bow!
Blue Dot is a casual clothing line with
a hip attitude. Perfect for anyone's leisurely lifestyle, the line
sings out with colour, style and easy care fabrics. Its orange
drawstring pants are cotton blend and have a great easy care
finish and available in a number of great colours. The lemon
cargo skirt is mid-calf length and is of a rip-stop type material
that makes it light weight, yet breathable. The pockets hold keys,
credit cards and more so you can travel light!
