Rope In Classic Summer Style
I love clothes and accessories that have rope elements as part of their construction. I know the whole nautical thing is over and done, and I'm fine with that; I was never that into anchor motifs anyway, but I do love slighty yacht-y, nantucket-ish rope details. It's a look that works every summer, I think, whether nautical is in style or not.
Below are a few knotty pieces that look cool and crisp for summer. Just don't wear it all at once. If you're wearing rope sandals, don't carry a rope handled bag. If you're wearing a rope-tied halter, don't carry a rope-handled bag. That's my rope accessory advice, for what it's worth.

What's Up Ombre?
Lately I'm seeing all sorts of ombre dresses, tank tops and accessories in various colors at my favorite boutiques online.
Ombre is a french word that means shade or shadow and refers to a dye process which colors fabric in graduated shades from light to dark. Ombre pieces tend to be feminine and simple, the colors speaking for themselves.
If you want to get on board the ombre trend, options abound. Ombre fabrics are available in everything from haute couture evening gowns to swimsuits to handbags to bangles. I particularly like simple slip dresses that really show off the dye process, but the accessories are really cute too. Here are a few of my faves, at various prices:
This dress is really more dip-dye than ombre, but still cute and quite a bargain. Forever 21 dress $39.80
Splendid Ombre Slip Dress $152
Splendid Ombre Rugby Stripe Dress

Bathing Beauties
When I was on the Urban Outfitters site ealier today, I was surprised and pleased to see that they have a selection of retro style bathing suits. I fully support this. I have refused to wear a bikini since I had a C-Section a couple of years ago and my stomach refused to go back to its regular position. But finding a cute (read: not frumpy) one-piece bathing suit is not easy. Most retro styles look fab and cover all your parts.
Urban Outfitters' selection includes styles from Betsey Johnson, Lux and Damsel. Click here to see all UO swim.

The gladiator sandal movement has taken the accessories world by storm this spring. Gladiators are everywhere, in leather, vinyl and jelly, high heel and low, in every color imaginable. Here are a few of my favorites:
Urban Outfitters Braided T Strap Sandal $38
You can always find a great buy on a trend item at Urban Outfitters. These are simple and versatile.
Lauren by Ralph Lauren "Beth" $120 at Piperlime
These are a Rachael Zoe pick at Piperlime. I like the dark color.
Bally "Benn" $395 at Net-A-Porter
File these Bally's under my wish list. I love the simplicity and construction, but the price tag is out of my range.

These MIA's have a definite Gladiator look about them. They are available at a lot of sites, but Overstock had the best price.
Lauren by Ralph Lauren "Beth" $120 at Piperlime
These are a Rachael Zoe pick at Piperlime. I like the dark color.
I noticed these in an email from Who What Where Daily. They are probably the best deal of the bunch. Heech comes in several different colors and would be perfect with a bright maxi dress.
