Trends: Espadrilles

Embrace the season’s top footwear trend this spring in a gorgeous pair of durable and functional espadrilles. Our style experts have crafted four looks from the bottom up to help you jump into the trend. Explore new colors, fabrics and prints to fit your individual taste. Nothing exudes warm weather fashion sensibility like a stellar pair of espadrilles.

As the temperature rises and the summer season goes into full swing, it's important to keep your cool. A pristine summer-white strapless French Connection Caramel Cotton Tube Dress is one way to keep cool while looking abundantly sexy. Add some bright splashes of color with a sassy Nine West Lazar espadrille wedge, a particularly smokin' trend for warm weather. Finish off this sunny ensemble with the perfect accessories such as a punchy and feminine Betsey Johnson necklace and an elegant neutral Cole Haan Perry Street Bella Clutch. The only thing missing from this fab outfit is that colorful umbrella-topped cocktail to match.

 

 

 

One way to keep monotony at bay this summer is to mix up your prints. Take this cool ensemble for instance; it mixes the classic summer stripes of the Joe's Jeans Abby Tank with the artistic floral print of the Steve Madden Starlet Skirt. Keep the rest of your outfit nice and solid, like a fabulously neutral Steve Madden Rapup wedge sandal to lengthen those legs. A bright and bold Diesel She's Got The Lock Bright Charactery bag keeps this look fresh and of-the-moment, and a nice layering of the Fossil Fly Free Jet Mat Multi Necklace adds some fun interest. This is an ideal spring/summer look that combines all the essentials in one updated look.

 

As the days get longer, there's more of a need to have ensembles that look on point from morning errands to early evening dinners. This cool and breezy outfit fits the bill with a flowy white BCBGMAXAZRIA Cascade Tank W/Ruffle top and the classic AG Adriano Goldschmied Stilt in Engage. A thoughtfully embellished Steve Madden Chryslis espadrille wedge adds the perfect touch of interest, while a sassy bracelet and delicately pretty earrings keep things feminine and sweet. Don’t forget to make it pop with a Dooney & Bourke Dillen 2 Medium Zipper Pocket Sac. This look is extremely versatile and can be worn at work, on the beach or out to dinner. 

 

 

The temperature is rising outside, so why not help usher it in with a terrific spring outfit? Slip into this eye-catching BCBGeneration Collar Detail Dress and stand tall in a pair of Stuart Weitzman Alex wedges. While you're walking around inciting a favorable furor among the passersby, you'll need to cool off with a small bottle of water. Keep your essentials ready with this vibrant MICHAEL Michael Kors Charlton Crossbody handbag. Crown your ensemble with a vivid necklace and dynamic bracelet. Now there's no doubt about the three-alarm fires you'll be creating in the hearts of everyone.

Sophisticate Your Wardrobe With Ease

Blazer, Button Up, Sophistication, Dapper, Fashion, Couture, Menswear

Refining your look doesn’t have to be an over-the-top, made-for-television makeover. It can be as simple as adding a blazer or slim-fitting button-up to your clothing collection. There are a few items every guy should have in his closet to go from fair to debonair.

At last month’s Milan Fashion Week, blazers were a reoccurring trend in menswear, signaling an upcoming plethora of choices in the fall. From blazer pairings with tailored shorts to skinny ties and buttoned shirts, it’s clear that the biggest names in fashion have settled upon the blazer as the ideal ensemble topper. The Howe Personal Jesus is a slim-fitting, polyester-viscose blazer (also available in denim) with four-button cuff that can be worn for any occasion. If you are trying to go more rockstar with your look, the house of Alexander McQueen offers the trendy, peak-lapelled McQ Mini Check Blazer to top of your outfit.

Nothing is more beneficial for the dapper gentleman than a versatile button-up. The Diesel Sfet Shirt can be dressed up with a blazer or worn on its own for a cleanly casual get-up. The zip closure chest pocket and shoulder epaulets that have become trademark of the Diesel brand make this a stylish addition to your wardrobe. If you prefer a little more color, the DKNY Jeans Long Sleeve Doublefaced Shirt can give your outfit the contrast you’re looking for. The tasteful plaid, cuffs and snap-button front make this a handy button-up for your next happy hour.

Looking like a million bucks doesn’t have to be hard. An easy blazer or shirt can take your style to the limit. Zappos.com has all the items to help sophisticate your style.

Most Posh Hotels and Spas in the World: Lapa Palace Hotel in Lisbon, Portugal

Sadly, Portugal is often overlooked by travelers in Europe. It is a country with a lot to offer its visitors, and I highly recommend it if you have time in your schedule. Portugal has some of the most amazing castles in the world, so castle-lovers should not miss the opportunity to take a tour. Destinations are all accessible from Lisbon, the center of Portugal.

Lapa Palace is one of the most exquisite hotels in all of Lisbon, Portugal. Now a hotel, the Palace was originally built in 1870 as the private home of the Count of Valencas. It is located in one of the most prestigious areas of Lisbon, right on a hill overlooking the romantic Tagus river. If you stay in the capital, try to stay at the Palace Wing’s Tower Room—probably the most excellent in the entire palace. This room is the uppermost tower of the palace and has a private terrace that overlooks the Tagus river. There are a variety of other luxurious rooms positioned throughout the palace grounds, all of which are decorated beautifully and contain modern amenities.

For those of you looking to use the time in Portugal to relax and indulge, Lapa Palace is the perfect destination. La Prairie is the Spa at Lapa Palace and offers quite a range of treatments for guests. The most decadent of all these treatments is probably the caviar firming treatment—this skin treatment is designed to leave your face perfectly smooth and healthy. La Prairie also offers a host of other skin and body treatments, including an assortment of massages.

While La Prairie Spa is a definite must for guests looking for relaxation, not everyone will want to spend their days in Lisbon inside the palace walls. For those looking to explore the vast city and areas around Portugal, the Palace is ideally located. The friendly concierge will help all travelers organize their excursions, and even offer certain travel packages. Lisbon also contains some of the best culinary delights, so talk with the concierge for restaurant recommendations. For those nights on the town, make sure to pack some stylishly hip shoes to adorn your feet.
