The Cannes Film Festival officially began last week, and in honor of the locale–Cannes is between Nice and St. Tropez in the South of France–let’s take a look at some great fashionable wear for the beach. Whether the goal is to hit up the local boardwalk or to take a trip to Miami, you still want to look great. After all, you don’t have to go to Cannes to still look styling.
Courtesy of Polyvore (my new fixation), I created a fashion spread of beach items for my imaginary magazine, notes on style.

Here Comes the Bride

Well, you may not be the bride. In fact, you may not even be in the wedding party. That does not mean, however, that you should forgo looking as fabulous as you possibly can during wedding season because yes, wedding season is upon us. The obvious advice is to stay away from the color white; leave the wedding day drama at bay, please. There are other looks that are great for viewing the exchange of vows, and they vary as much as a wedding theme varies.
For an evening wedding, several designers offer a glam look for the fashionista guest:
1. Banana Republic, $175, bananarepublic.com
2. J. Crew, $250, jcrew.com
3. Les Prairies de Paris, $495, shoplanguage.com
A garden wedding is a great time to try some muted tones or an eye-popping hue:
1. Catherine Malandrino, $395, shopbop.com
2. Thread Social, $644, shopbop.com
3. Jill Stuart, $578, shopbop.com
If at the beach, fabrics that flow as the breeze blows are a great idea:
1. ABS by Allen Schwartz, $306, nordstrom.com
2. Banana Republic, $130, bananarepublic.com
3. Express, $79.50, expressfashion.com
I am Gladiator!

That’s what the fashion world has said when it comes to this summer’s footwear. The temperature outdoors is rising, and for that very reason the theme is “less is more.”
In the case of fashion for the feet, the gladiator style sandal–very Roman, very minimalist–mimics that theme of very little. However, don’t forget that while there isn’t much leather to go around when it comes to the gladiator sandal, the sandal does bare much of the foot.
Pedicures are more important now than ever!
