The broad ankle strap that’s positioned above the ankle bone is the sandal look of the season, and it’s pretty comfy in a well designed sandal like this one. Great on feet that can fill out the style. Wear a low contrast colour to offset the cutting horizontal line on bare legs. Also available in Classic Nude and Neon Coral/Saddle.

I saw this top on the hanger and was not all that impressed. But the fabric is unbelievably soft, so it’s ended up in the fitting with several clients. The top looks so much better on the body. It’s a great alternative to a basic T-shirt, layers well under toppers, and is forgiving on the midsection without being overly voluminous. It’s also available in petite and plus sizing.

This has been the best suit of the year on my regular and small busted clients. It has a strap, but they did not show it in the photo. It comes with a hidden tummy-control panel, and has a sweet retro glam vibe. I am impressed with the “Profile” collection from Gottex and look forward to seeing more amazingly cut swimwear from this Israeli brand. Remember to size up at least one size. Also available in Amethyst and Lagoon.

A fabulous smart casual sandal suited to hot Summer days. It’s low-heeled, quite refined, and complete with sci-fi metallic block heel and prominent broad ankle straps. The footbed is pretty soft and so are the leather straps. The style is fun and minimally modern. I found the toebox quite roomy and the fit true to size. Warning: the sandal exposes a lot of foot and accentuates already long toes. Also available in Beige Snake/Saddle, Natural/Off White, Neon Yellow/Natural, Red Ink and Whiskey.

I used to think that Theory made the best sleeveless sheath dresses, but after I bought this dress in turquoise a few years ago, Nicole Miller deserves the accolade. It’s made of thick stretchy linen-viscose-spandex that drapes against the body without too much cling. The front and back tuck and ruching details make it more interesting, and forgiving, than a plain sheath. A great length! Can easily be dressed up or down with the right support act.

A tunic with a tail. The draped, asymmetrical hemline and button tab long sleeves give this top its relaxed silhouette. An easy option to wear over skinnies, but pairing it with shorts is less expected. Semi-tuck the front for added structure as desired. Also available in black

As I write the blue tunic is on sale for $89.99.

Sweet midweight sweatshirt with casual raw-edge details in a sour shade of green. Wear it with jeans, silky track pants, shorts, a fancy skirt, or make it part of your lounging capsule. Super soft and comfortable. Also available in heather grey.

I love this boldly patterned graphic skirt. Comfortable and forgiving. Fabulous length and a good fit, although it might run a little big. Wear it with a casual coloured moto jacket, add a simple layering top and throw in some fun arm candy. Looks fab with a mesh sweater. Or pair it with a boxy untucked blouse for a de-bombshelled effect.

A breezy covered option for warm temperatures. Cotton and texture rich, cozy soft, and casually chic. A super substitute for a tee, and fab on a fuller bust or broad shouldered lass. If crew necks have been driving you crazy, try this baby scoop neck for a change. It’s a tailored piece that isn’t clingy. Also available in petite.

This distressed metallic darling doubles as a clutch when you want to give the straps a break. I especially like the juxtaposition of an angular bag like this with roomy, arty frocks and skirts with lots of drape. The structured bag then adds extra polish.
