(1. Zara Heels; 2. Modcloth Dress; 3. Topshop Earrings; 4. Buckle Bracelet; 5. Asos bag – now on sale!)The end of a 3 day weekend is certainly eased by the fact that we are now (unofficially) in the Summer season. And one of my favorite things about Summer fashion is how globally influenced it is…
African inspired prints, colors picked up along the Grecian shores, ruffles taken from traditional Spanish senoritas, all of it happily co-mingled on the racks. And like the lovely ladies shown above, possibly even all worked into one ensemble. Take a cue from them and start with a well draped dress (this scalloped eyelet number was made for the Mediterranean-minded). And from there – go wild. Mixed metallics, ornate embroidery, a tapestry of prints. It’s all in the accessories here. And with a world of cultural influences to draw upon, don’t be afraid to stop at just one or two. I’ve mentioned before that my own travel is a constant source of inspiration and until I can jet off to explore another far flung destination, I’ll be here in Southern California – wearing a little worldliness instead.
