Summer is the time to take fashion risks.  Step out of your comfort zone and find a way to make one or all three of the following trends work for you!

 1. Bright-en up your wardrobe. Add either a drop or a wash of bright to your wardrobe. If you are a black and white kind of girl, start small with a scarf or your fingertips! But if you love colour, now is the time to go for it! Wear bold beautiful colours from head to toe. (Photo courtesy of style.com)

 2. “Make a Statement” Necklace. Hands down the easiest way to update your summer wardrobe. Pair with a tank or tee and you will look effortlessly of the moment. (Burberry necklace available at Holt Renfrew)

3. Reach for New Heights with Platform Shoes. Such is the beauty of the platform shoe – it appears to be much taller than it actually is! This is a trend made for a low-heel gal like me. Head to your favourite shoe store try on a few and walk around the store. You will be surprised! (Shoes available at Piperlime.com)
