Kooky Kimonos

Something tells me it is the summer of the kimono. Most have floral prints and all dress up any outfit, so its a no-brainier must have!

 Here are some great finds to start your collection.

Blush: This Season's Most Wanted Hue

The Pantone colour of the year might be radiant orchid but pink is having a moment thanks to the oversized pink Carven coat every editor adored. 

Although pink is an ultra feminine colour there are ways to incorporate the popular shade into your everyday wardrobe. My advice? Pick one item, whether it be an accessory, a pair of shoes, or even a nail polish, and let the colour speak for itself without making it the focal point of your outfit to create an effortless chic look.

Sneakin' Around: The Wedge Sneaker

Another shoe trend started by Isabel Marant, the wedge sneaker (seen: here via Net-A-Porter) has caught on and has begun to spread like wildfire. The reason? You can look good while being comfortable and who doesn't want that!

Giuseppe Zanotti has come out with his own version (seen: here via SSENSE) but not everyone has $745 laying around to spend on sneakers so luckily Nasty Gal has an assortment of sneakers for you to sink your teeth into for a fraction of the cost!
