Shop It NowPaint The Town In These Dreamy Watercolor-Infused Threads
The one thing that's more boring than watching paint dry? A drab summer wardrobe, natch! And while we were strolling the Getty this weekend, taking in all that inspiration, it sadly dawned on us: It feels like eons since our closets got the restoration they deserved.
Whether it's the O'Keefe-esque flowers outside our window or that dusty easel in the corner, we woke up this morn with a major hankering for items that could bring out anyone's inner Picasso. Perfect for all those art openings scheduled in your iCal, we archived our favorite painterly prints on the market just for you. And, not to brag, but this roundup includes the most artful apparel around!

There's plenty of sartorial fodder here to feed upon with items that will totally make your wardrobe Van Gogh.

The Simple Leather Sandal: Your Summertime LBD of Footwear
Here in SoCal, we’re super spoiled with a devoted sun that shines down most days of summer (June gloom be damned!). Pretty lucky, right? And it’s a good thing, too, with all of the outdoor activities (catch our L.A.-area camping guide?) rounding out our to-do lists. Wasting time and those precious rays changing outfits and worrying about what to pack? Not us. When the temp heats up, we prefer an M.O. of low maintenance, but never low on luxury (natch).
True, we have our trusty LBD’s and LBW's to rely on. But this summer we’re making a serious argument for the simple leather sandal (henceforth, the SLS — do you think we can we make it sartorially viral?).
Imagine it: On the beach with cut-offs and cover-ups, paired with floaty frocks for daytime shopping trips, worn with simple and modern sheath dresses for night — the SLS is a trés chic addition, non? High on comfort, with go-anywhere-style in spades, this must-have shoe is like the flip flop’s sleek, sophisticated, yet still comfy cousin. If you pick a style in a smooth tan or lush black leather, this just might be the only shoe you need all season. Click through to see our own wishlist of anti-flip-flop frontrunners right here.

Five Ways To Wear Gentlemanly Garb — & Still Look Hot…
While it's a cinch to master the technicolor trend, and even its crisp-white polar opposite, it can be tricky to nail summer's sure-to-be-top theme: androgyny as inspired by Annie Hall.
Unless you're Gisele, it can be tough to rock baggy jeans and button-ups without looking downright frumpy (or dripping with sweat when the temps soar). So, to save you from that man trap, we've dressed you head to toe in five divine dude-inspired looks, each with its own helpful hint for staying glam. From the perfect short suit to debonair denim, these are some seriously covetable looks, and you'd better tell your chap to keep his paws off!
Go ahead, take a peek, score some swing-both-way sundries, and dress like a bloke who's anything but broke.

Happy Feet: 15 Cool Evening Flats Fit For A Comfy Night Out
Don't get us wrong: We're thrilled that the local twenty-four hour drugstore sells folding flats for late-night emergencies. But, sometimes an evening chock-full of boogying demands footwear that allows us to glide effortlessly into the ball, across the dance floor, and to the after party without sacrificing our style (or losing steam due to foot pain).
The good news for you comfort-seeking sisters out there is that there's a neat fashion precedent for pairing flat footwear with even the frilliest of evening garb (thank you, Sofia Coppola). No matter your stature, there's nothing that looks cooler than sauntering into an L.A. shindig (or even a summer wedding) in a luscious cocktail frock paired with fresh fancy flats. Seriously, even if your four-inchers are your security blanket, when you've maxed out your chiropractic coverage, you'll still be okay. Because the warmer months make rocking heel-less soles a snap. So, slip some on, and see how hot flats can actually feel and look.

Bewitching: 7 Blingy Body Pieces That'll Cast A Spell On You
Maybe it’s the fantastical plot twists on HBO’s Game of Thrones, or perhaps just lingering Coachella-fever that has us pining for spindly, sultry, bohemian body jewels. Whatever the cause, we’ve started imagining these enchanting chains — a whole range of understated hand adornments, heavy-metal shoulder toppers, and armor-like chest pieces — starring in our spring and summer wardrobes.
Layered over a basic tee and paired with washed denim for a day of errands, worn atop a wispy dress for date night, or layered underneath, well, anything, these body adornments promise to add a kick of Black Magic Woman sex appeal to whatever you’re rocking.

Trend Forecasting: Dreamy Opals Are Having A Moment In The Sun
At last night's Met Gala, we thought we spied one redeeming thing about January Jones' comic book look — an opulent opal necklace. Ready to give her at least a few kudos, we were sorely disappointed upon closer inspection, to find that the jewel was a much less exciting turquoise choker. Alas, red carpet strutters can't win 'em all.
Regardless, trippy translucent opals have been popping up everywhere, of late: From stars whose style really shines (Busy Phillips rocked eerie earrings to the Oscars), to the latest Cartier catalogue — and even a bride we bowed down to last weekend who opted out of diamonds for an other-worldly engagement band — these babies are really making an impact.
The kaleidoscopic and cool stone looks like it landed from outerspace, but did you know that most originate in Australia? Or that they have both a rep for providing good luck and supernatural powers? Sure, they don't come cheap, but we're betting they're the next big, perhaps huge, thing. So, check out this gallery of multi-colored, and thoroughly modern baubles, and hop on the bandwagon!
