You’ll be sporting two top S/S 2013 footwear trends in one with these silver metallic oxfords: the sci-fi look and flat oxford trend. Fun! The cutouts make them breezy for warmer temps. The tonal studs add extra textural interest. I had them on a client recently and they are comfortable. You will need to add an orthotic for arch support. The ‘Jayden’ is also available in this nude/off-white combo, and in black/black snake.

Ankle socks are a good solution if you don’t like to go barefoot in sneakers, workout shoes, shooties, booties and ankle boots. Plus, they can help avoid blisters when you are putting new footwear through its paces. These Zella low-profile socks with ribbed arch are soft, non-itchy and come in black and white.

These machine washable 100% cotton roll-up shorts are excellent. They hit at mid-thigh, fun for the beach and casual warm weather outings. They’re a loose and relaxed fit, straight through the hip and thigh. And the good news is that GAP makes these in a ton of colours. Put on a pair of cute sandals, flats, loafers or oxfords, grab your Summer tote and go have some fun! Also available in tall and petite sizes. The shorts run true to size.

The tailored fit and great length make these bermuda shorts a versatile piece. They’re a lightweight cotton and have a bit of stretch, nice for warmer weather. The fit is quite straight and waistband adjustment might be necessary. Wear them with a blouse or shirt, pumps and a blazer. Or pair them with a high-low top, a vest, utility jacket or denim jacket. Add in oxfords, sandals or slipper flats. Grab your clutch or bag, and you’re good to go. Also available in navy, vivid lime, British khaki and neon rose.

The mint green bold border stripes give this beautiful scarf print blouse a graphic and retro vibe. Plus, the green looks fresh against the small navy blue geometric pattern. The hidden button placket adds to the polished look. This blouse works best tucked, semi-tucked and faux-tucked so as to offset the strong horizontal integrity of the hem borders. Fab with white bottoms and a pastel blazer or bomber.

As I write the blouse is on sale for $66.33.

This super little loafer with contrasting trim comes in three fab colours, but my vote goes to the Bronze Oil Sequins: fresh and modern. It has a cushioned footbed and Nike Air technology in the heel. Wear it with anything from pencil skirts and flirty frocks, cigarette pants, shorts and clamdiggers, to boyfriend jeans and slouchy trousers.

As I write these loafers are on sale for $159.90.

An easy, pullover style top for Spring. Lightweight and machine washable. This shirt has a relaxed fit, flattering rounded hem and a split neckline that works well on bustier lasses too. Fab with jeans, cigarette pants, clamdiggers and shorts. Or pair it with a pencil skirt and a fun loafer for an of the moment structured unstructured look. Also available in white and deep twilight.

As I write this shirt is on sale for $58.99.

I LOVE this authentic tux shirt and will duplicate it. The fabric is so refined it virtually feels wet. It’s a good length so it will probably work for taller lasses. The roomy fit around the torso makes it extra boyish and fab. Wear it with a power suit; cigarette pants, a blazer and hi-tops for a dressy nonchalant vibe, or go casual with combat bottoms and a fun coloured shoe. Warning: it creases easily. That does relax the formal aspect of the shirt so it’s a good thing in my book. Also available in a beautiful light blue.

A nice bootie for milder weather with sweet cutouts. The back zipper is a great styling detail, and makes it easy to put on the shoe. These cream beauties are VERY comfy, soft and well-made, but quite flat. They also come in Terra. You might need to size down.

An eye-catching piece! The deep blue pearlized fabric reads like liquid shine; modern with a delightful nod to the ’60s. This fully lined trench comes with a removable belt and a handy zip-off drawstring hood. Fab for walking your pets, running around on the weekends or for a business casual environment. Casual chic at its best. Also available in petite.
