I know, I know, summer’s just begun, but I’m currently working on some fab features for you guys, so its got to be done.

This season, fashionistas have not held back when it comes to wearing bold prints, bright colours and loud accessories, so much so that outfiits are playing second fiddle to big, chunky, sculptural necklaces. To make your own statement, opt for a whimsical charm necklace.

Natalie Portman rocked the ruffled look in Cannes last month, and since then, the frilly and feminine style has become a copy-worthy look for Summer. Being that not all of us can afford Lanvin, Givenchy and designer duds of the like, here are some cute and affordable tiered dresses that will help us mimic the glamorous look.

I am totally digging this new wave of hidden platform heels. How ingenious! I’ve always loved platform shoes being that I need all the help I can get in the height department.
