Nothing says summer better than espadrilles! The wear-with-anything shoe is comfortable, casual and best of all, timeless and classic. Considered to be the beach shoe for most Europeans, American fahsionistas have discovered the shoe and put it at the top of their Spring/Summer must-have list.
Shoe designers are giving us so many amazing choices and renditions from the classic jute soled flat to platfoms and wedges, too. From floral dresses to paper-bag waist shorts, the espadrilles adds an easy attitude to all your summer time looks. We suggest purchasing them in a neutral color to make them more versatile.
Here are our favorites:
* Pedro Garcia Ibiza
* Stuart Weitzman Crocheted Ankle Wrap Espadrille
* Anthropologie Espadrille Sneakers
* Christian Louboutin Viva Boom
* Dolce Vita Layla Espadrilles Slides

Who doesn’t love a good pair of jeans? Denim has really become the go-to fabrication for every occasion from casual to cocktail. But for those of us that want to stay on the cutting edge of fashion… we’re touting trousers as the hot new pant for Spring 2011.
This silhouette is just as versatile as a great pair of jeans, and even offers more options for the workplace. From high-waisted to tapered leg, cuffed hems to paper bag waists, there’s a shape to fit every woman’s shape. Solids dominate, but there are some noteworthy prints to fill the bohemian girl’s needs.
Pair them with a blouse and blazer for an office ready ensemble, or a floaty, filmy silk tank, layered beads and flat sandals for a casual downtown feel. Wear them with heels for the evening, flats for day… sandals in the summer and even tennies for Sunday afternoons at the farmer’s market. You’ll find these pants to be just a wear-able as your trusty jeans.
Here are our top picks:
* House of Dagmar Lola Track Trouser
* Marc by Marc Jacobs Joan Cropped Pants
* Paterson J Kincaid Hunter High Rise Pants
* Ever Charlo Pleated Trouser
* DVF Georginne Ankle Pant
