Pull together boldly colored separates by varying the degrees of vibrancy.  Team heavier fabrics in richer shades with floatier items in pastel tones.  Finish it all off with earthy, low-key sandals.

I know living in Orange County we can all get a little lazy when it comes to wearing flip flops everyday in the summer time.  I am guilty of this all too often myself.   This summer I am really trying not to wear them everyday.  They are fine if you are going to the beach or heading to the pool or at a VERY casual occasion.  But the reality is, there are so many cute, dressier, flat, comfy sandals that you could wear just as easily.  Invest in a couple pair of these.  Wear them with your sun dresses, skirts, linen pants, or jeans and you will look much more put together and little less beach bum.

Today will be the last day that I continuing on with my analysis of London fashion and trends.  Starting tomorrow I will go back to giving you great fashion tips.

Wedge sandals are all the rage this spring and summer.  Whether they are espadrilles, cork, or wooden soled, find yourself a pair that works for you. 

The key is to make sure that the wedge is in proportion to your body.  If you are a petite woman, find a wedge that is more dainty and not quite as tall.  If you are a larger woman, try to find a higher wedge with wider straps to make your legs look thinner.  Like everything else, it’s all about proportion.  Your wedges should not over power your body.
