NICHE style Summer 2016

JEWELLERY
From Chloé’s gold-tone anklets
to Zaleska’s new raw diamond
stacking rings ($195, zaleska.ca), the
overarching theme of summer 2016
is NO TAN LINES. Leave the larger
statement pieces at home and keep
your accessories game uncomplicated
by layering minimalist pieces.
SEASONAL SCARF
A lightweight scarf is a girl’s best
friend during the summer months. It
can be worn casually over a jacket on
cooler days, transform into a sarong
at the beach, or cover your partner’s
burned shoulders (that’s what mine
does). Eileen Fisher’s Shibori Tassel
Scarf ($130, saks.ca) will do all three.
SUMMER SANDALS
These elevated alternatives to the
flip-flop can be styled a million ways
because of their neutral details. Zara’s
white studded sandals are the perfect
leather slip-on and retail for under
$50. If you need a boost, the feminine
and sophisticated T-bar heels from
Zimmerman ($385, bonadrag.com)
feature beautiful braided detailing
and a modest block heel.
READ A GOOD BOOK
My obsession with DVF has
officially hit an all-time high after
reading “The Woman I Wanted
To Be”, by Diane von Furstenburg.
It is a glimpse into the creative
mind and opulent world of an
iconic designer who became a
princess in her early 20’s, defined
the 1970’s New York party scene,
and produced one of the world’s
most iconic dresses. It’s the perfect
beach read. ($32, Amazon.ca)
