Bring it to the party

The last time we saw so many blossoms in fashion, we thought wearing floral smocks was appropriate attire for adult women. This time around, thankfully, florals come in a sexier, more sophisticated fashion.

Think big and bold, vivid colours and form-fitting silhouettes. The prettiest way to wear florals is in a dress, but why not be daring and try a floral pantsuit? Too much for you? Then just add a floral accent like a blouse, shoes or a handbag.

"Floral denim is a great way to go," Zahra Mamdani, president of Wear Else says. "Pair it with a simple lightweight sweater for spring and swap out for a tank or tee in the warmer months. Botanical-print dresses are also an option, balanced with a simple nude shoe and clutch."

Red floral top, $85, pants, $85, earrings, $20, yellow cuff bracelet, $22, bangle bracelets (set of 12), $18, orange square bangle, $20, all available at Laura stores, www.laura.ca.

HOT HUES

As Plum Clothing's Kate O'Brien says, "It always takes some good weather to get people in colour again." So put away the dark, sombre hues and deck yourself in sun-drenched ones instead.

Think refreshing citrus or tropical colours like lemon, lime,Find a great selection of christian louboutin shoes deals ! tangerine, mango, pineapple, coral and hibiscus blossom. Or look to the myriad aspects of the sea, from celadon to indigo, turquoise, aquamarine and every imaginable shade of blue and green in between.

It's been a few years since the maxi-dress came back into style, and this is an easy, breezy summer trend that shows no sign of going away. It's a look that's almost effortless - and can hide a few sins if you're feeling lazy, too.

"The floor length is really great for women who want to bare their legs," Plum Clothing's Kate O'Brien says. "It's just so nice and breezy to have a long dress with a pair of strappy sandals or even a flat sandal."

If you really, really like to show off your gams, though, the mini is just as hot a trend as the maxi. This one requires a bit more maintenance, though - be sure to groom and moisturize your legs before showing them off to the world.

Love prints, but florals are too girlie for you? Not to worry, because there is a whole world of graphic fashion out there.

Tribal prints, whether they hail from Africa or the South Pacific, are having a moment, either in simple two-tone patterns or multiple hues. Paisley, too, is back, but forget the ditsy little amoebas of the 1980s, today's paisley patterns are big, bold and dramatic. Geometric shapes are also huge this season, be they stripes, lozenges, swirls or other repetitive shapes.

"There are all kinds of different graphics," says Plum Clothing's Kate O'Brien. "And I love the fact that the prints can be played up with almost any colour in shoes and handbags."

"It's all about the summer pant," says Zahra Mamdani,We have high quality replica breitling watches, you can not miss the best Tag Heuer Replica Watches online. president of Wear Else.

"White pants or a pair of white jeans are a must, as are a pair of printed denim." Sleek, skinny and cropped trousers are an absolute must-have this summer.

Try them in bright colours and bold floral or graphic patterns. Pair them with a simple tank, flowing blouse and pretty cardigan or jacket. Or be bold and pair a vibrantly patterned pant with a matching jacket.

Dress them up or dress them down, this season's stylish trousers are a staple that will carry you everywhere this summer.

This is a fantastic season for accessories, especially for bags and shoes. They're a great way to add a pop of colour to a neutral outfit or to highlight one hue in a multicoloured array.Looking for cheap rolex watches? If so, why not come to this store! But if you're likely to be outdoors, make sure your accessories are practical, too, especially when it comes to footwear.

"When I'm going to a garden party I wear wedges because you don't know if you're going to be on grass or a patio. And there are gorgeous wedges out," says Vancouver designer Nicole Bridger.

If not a wedge, then a low-heeled slingback, pretty ballerina flat or chunky sandal is a must. So is a brightly coloured handbag, a shawl for cool evenings and statement jewelry, including bracelets, earrings and especially necklaces.

"You have to play up the big,Discover the largest collection of prada bags for women. bold jewelry," O'Brien says. "If you put a little money into your accessories, you can change it up completely."

Summer celebrations call for special beauty routines. Make sure to moisturize arms and legs, and apply plenty of sunscreen. A hat and sunglasses are both sun-safe and stylish. Invest in a pedicure and have fun with the season's bright, poppy nail shades.

Keep makeup light and to a minimum, and use products that can withstand heat, so your face doesn't melt into a puddle of foundation and mascara. There are also plenty of hair-care products to fight frizz and humidity, and others that offer extra hold for summer's pretty updos.
