Playful Prints For Your Summer Wardrobe

Hot summer months require colorful, fun and playful prints! Anything from cute animals, to psychedelic swirls, to art-deco geometrics... anything goes when it comes to summertime! Our advice: don’t shy away from a bold prints when you see one!

A patterned summer garment works regardless of the occasion– wear it on its own for a casual stroll in the park, accessorize with chunky jewelry and wedges for a night on the town, or tone it down with a more conservative blazer or cardigan for a polished, professional look.


Below we have included a few playful print options from eShakti, OneStopPlus.com, SINGER22.com, and Muse Apparel.

Britney Spears Looking Chic with Luxury Eyewear and Tote


Pop sensation, Britney Spears, was spotted out and about in LA sporting luxury eyewear brand Sunday Somewhere sunglasses and a studded vegan-leather handbag by Melie Bianco. The songstress looked ultra chic in a blue dress perfectly accessorized with the tortoise shell sunglasses and oversized tote.



WHO: Award-winning singer and songwriter, Britney Spears

WHAT: The famed pop star donned:

Sunday Somewhere: Chely in Marble Demi, $210 (www.sundaysomewhere.com)

Melie Bianco: Iman in Stone, $118 (www.meliebianco.com)


WHERE: Meeting with her boyfriend David Lucado in Los Angeles, CA

WHEN: June 20, 2013



ABOUT SUNDAY SOMEWHERE:

Sunday Somewhere is the brain-child of eyewear aficionado's, Dave Allison and Carlos Aviles. Late in 2010, the duo decided to join forces with a singular vision of creating an eyewear and optical collection focused upon detail, quality, simplicity and originality. Sunday Somewhere's aesthetic is influenced by both the past and future. With references to classic vintage frames, intricate modern detailing and futuristic materials, the finish is practical, a wearable modernity. This 'classic with a twist' collection makes Sunday Somewhere fresh, covetable, and timeless. 

ABOUT MELIE BIANCO:

It all began with an idea: design stylish, luxurious handbags and sell them at an affordable  price. This idea came to life when Melissa and William, a husband and wife team, founded Melie Bianco in 2003. Since then their designs have been featured on TV segments and spotted in major fashion magazines like Marie Claire, Glamour, Lucky, Instyle, Oprah, Cosmopolitan, Self, People Style Watch, and Vogue among others. The main emphasis behind the Shop Melie brand was that handbags are usually found in the up-scale department (next to cosmetics, watches, shoes and jewelry). With this being such a prime area, it gave them the motivation to offer affordable luxury to the everyday woman. They did this by creating trend driven handbags that are always stylish from season to season by using premium faux leather, paying attention to craftsmanship and using high-end hardware and lining. Their mission is for every woman to “treat herself to a little luxury”.
