Phoebe Couture by Kay Unger c/o SaksFifthAvenue

(Satin..Strapless...Flirty ruffles make this satin number quite enticing..I love the silver heels, but I would like to see something in more of a bone color to play up the satin finish)



Valentino Silk-Crepe Rosette Bodice Gown in Papaya
c/o net-a-porter
(100% silk, 100% stunning.....of course...are you really surprised? It's Valentino after all....)






St. John Sequin-Embellished Jacket c/o SaksFifthAvenue
(Stunning elegance is easily achieved when donning this fair watermelon-colored suit sprinkled with sequins..brilliant...oh and the Lance Mirrored Jimmy Choo's don't hurt either..)
 


Knit Bow Headband c/o Forever 21 
(Labeled as "fuschia," this is definitely more of a punchy pink papaya! Keep fly-aways at bay with this preppy beachy accessory. $3.80 makes this a summer must-have) 



Polished Slub Maryn Jacket and Skirt combo c/o J. Crew

(Perfection is embedded in the impeccable tailoring and nubby fabric of this divinely-crafted suit set. Leave the jacket open and dress up denim with a matching silk shortie scarf. Add gold, bone, ivory or even deep navy or turquoise jewelry to offset the soft color. Pair the skirt with a short-sleeve fitted button-up to make it office-worthy.  Create a high-waist with a cinched skinny belt in a bright buttercup yellow and a slouchy tucked-in tank, gold linen sandals, flashy gold earrings and a fab clutch for a night out....) 



Chiffon Flower Pin/Hair Clip c/o J. Crew

(Loop an elastic band through the pin and fasten it closed. You have now created a pony-tail holder to wrap around a sleek chignon or wrap a couple of these around your wrist  à la Carrie Bradshaw for a look that is positively blooming! Add a punch of color to that scarf you love so dear to keep your look fresh. Or attach to a basic belt in any color! Try braiding different colors of grosgrain ribbon together and making your own belt using this as the belt buckle!)


Boho Wild Watermelon Dress c/o America Eagle Outfitters

(Free-spirited eyelet hem and racer-back summer dress show off that bronzed skin! Perfect with flops, a bikini or a cardi....love AE for the flexibility and fluidity of their clothing..so easy to mix and match! Can't beat $30!)




Watermelon Fizz Dress c/o ModCloth
(Romping around in this vivid eye-catching summer number will be so much fun for you! The back is to-die-for...the cut-outs are very vintage and are making quite the come-back this season! Slimming and strapless...as refreshing as a watermelon slice on a hot dripping day...)





Juicy Banded Tank c/o Forever 21
(This tank is comfy and carefree.... combo with some cut-off shortie shorts and red converse slip ons!)





 Rhinestone-Graphic Slub-Knit Seahorse Tank c/o Old Navy
(An accessory by itself, this stunning sparkling tank is a chic concoction made with part glitz, part glamour, a sprinkle of comfy cotton and shaken to perfection)






Ave's Wild Watermelon Two-Piece c/o Anthropologie
(I actually own this enchanting high-waisted rouched-twisted-into-fabulousness-bikini! It's uber-flattering and just so sexy (think vintage pin-up point of view)..the classy cut and fun colors will declare you the Glowing Retro Goddess this summer!)




BC's "Oh Sailor Sandal" c/o Delia's
(Creamy melon-colored ankle strap sandals keep your feet secure and comfy, perfect for walking the sand with cuffed denim capris, a flowy white boho strapless maxi dress or simple chino shorts)




Embroidered Crinkle Gauze Tunics c/o Old Navy
(Breezy with delicate embroidery...so easy to just go-with-the-flow in this too-easy top)
