THE SWEET HUE OF BLUE

Electric blue has worked its way into the color scheme this summer. It’s a lovely color to add into your wardrobe along with corals, oranges, yellows, and the brights that are in this season.

Badgley Mischka brings out a new line of Mark + James. The cruise collection from Mark + James looks absolutely lovely. The pieces are chic and easy to throw on. Look 18 of the Mark + James collection is the exact blue that is perfect to incorporate into your summer apparel.

The neckline of the dress is fun and whimsical. Pair it with your favorite wedges, pop your hair up in a bun and just add sunglasses. The feel of this dress is so casually chic. This dress is also amazing for traveling.

It is looks like this - virtually similar to this dress that you should look for in stores this season. Fun colors, maxi dresses made out of cotton that are easy to throw on and light material that will keep you cool in the Texas heat.

The Mark + James dresses are available online on the Badgley Mischka website and are in store at Haut Chocolat in the River Oaks Shopping Center.

CHIC OF THE WEEK

Lauren Bergin rocks the Texas chic look with bold choices of combing the contrast of red and white - the jacket and metal give a edge to her look that make her this week's Chic of the Week. 'I love mixing structured, feminine pieces with vibrant western pieces. The contrast, is in a way, indicative of my personality, soft yet strong. My grandmother owned a woman's clothing store and she always had on beautiful pieces. She taught me that just because you are from the country doesn't mean you can't have style.'

WHERE TO SHOP | VENEZIA

ciao bella! Venezia is absolutely gorgeous as you stroll through the streets and become inspired by the lovely buildings. Nestled into little shops are shoe makers, hand crafted lace, custom apparel made in store - everything that these shops house are pieces that you can not find at home. After seeking Rialto stroll through the buildings and take the long way around to get to Piazza San Marco to explore the shops back behind the usual tourist route. Lovely shops are back here and all of the shopkeepers are such a treat to meet!
