Put on a pair of these Nanette Lepore heels and you’ll feel like you just stepped out of a fairy tale! It might not be a glass slipper, but it sure is the next best thing. The Racy T Strap Metallic Pumps are a dash of 1920′s flair with a whole lot of modern day sex appeal. There’s just something about the contrasting metallic, snake and canvas fabric that really makes these shoes work.

In some parts of the country, warm weather is already upon us. And this is the time of the year where a fashionista wonders “how can I stay cool and look stylish too?”. Well Elizabeth & James has a great answer to that, and it doesn’t include a tank top and cut off shorts. The Halter Sweater has all the look and sophistication of a fall peice, but it’s just bare enough to wear through the summer. Goes great with just a pair of jeans for a casual look.

Bring a few avante garde details to your daily attire with the Elizabeth & James Priscilla Dress. There are so many things we love about this mini dress; the plunging neckline, almost bare back and the covered buttons. But it really is the skirt that impresses the most, with it’s asymmetrical layers of ruffles that just seems to carelessly, but it somehow manages to work. Pair this dress with super high heels, just like the model is wearing.

The perfect basic tank isn’t always that easy to find. That’s why celebrities are flocking to the new brand LnA and their assortment of basics, including the Pocket Tank Top in Raspberry ($57). The lightweight purple tank is made of 100% cotton, with a wide scoop neck and a cute little patch pocket right on the side. But if the price seems a bit steep, try the LA Made Deep Scoop Neck Tank ($22), which has thinner straps and a more body conscious fit. Sure it doesn’t have the pocket, but we’re sure you’ll be able to manage.

Wearing a top with an embellished neckline is just the right way to add a bit of richness to your usual jeans and t shirt ensemble. The Arden B. Embellished Neck Tunic ($68) looks like a designer piece without the designer pricetag. The top has a banded bottom and lots of gold beading and hard wear. But if you actually want something with a high end name, we suggest giving the Lotta Stensson Pink Embellished Scoop Neck Top ($139.99) a shot. This top comes in a pretty shade of light pink, hangs away from the body and has a higher, wider neck. Whichever your choose, the embellishment is sure to highlight your look and your face.

If you love that wrap look that was everywhere in the winter, you’ll be glad to know you can show it off in the summer as well!

Get in either white or black.

All that glitters isn’t only gold, it turns out that black and white can do the same! Leave it to Vera Wang to make this basic color combination shine in a new line, with the Two Tone Sequin Tank Dress on her Lavender label. The knee length, fitted cocktail dress is made of silk but covered in white sequins over the bust, and black over the entire bottom half. There’s also a a bit of sheer netting at the bottom. This is definitely the dress you need to make an entrance!

Vanessa Bruno does such a great job of using draping in basic pieces, and the Draped Front Top is certainly no exception. She takes a rather basic, v-neck blouson tee and gives it something to stare at by adding draped fabric right over the neckline. On top of that, the deep plum color of this shirt will light up any face. Layer this with a white cami and pair it with straight leg white slacks and metallic beige heels.
