Read MoreTimeless Style: Summer Trends
My annual search is on for that essential summer white frock. I've left it so late that any minute now they'll all be on sale - not a bad thing. Aside from the white dress, the summer trends have a Victorian-era sensibility of romantic ruffles, lace, silk, pleats, off-the-shoulder, pearls, flowers and embroidery details...

Alessandro Michele is the recently appointed Creative Director for Gucci and his second collection for Spring/Summer 2016 landed with a bang during Milan's fashion week last September.

So, I guess it was time for me to change it up - love having fewer pieces to coordinate to achieve that pulled together look. Erica M Blumenthal's article in the Times highlights several eye-catching styles for Fall; just add a statement shoe, boot or bag and you're done!

The White Summer Dress
I'm very much a separates type and happy switching between jeans, tops and sweaters most days for much of the year. However, by June I'm looking high and low for dresses, as New York becomes hot and humid and Fort Lauderdale & Miami, where I also spend a lot of time, is even more hot and humid.

Blooming Spring
Spring has finally sprung and blooming spring florals are everywhere! Minimalism for now is seen in the distance of our rearview mirror. Typically I'm not one to wear big floral prints however, I've seen such delightful styles this season that I'm willing to at least try some things on.

The combination of red and black along with richly intricate embroideries and hair ornamentations, enhance their definition of Italy's la dolce vita.
