Mineral Wonder

Lately, I’ve been favoring delicate pieces of jewelry — wispy gold chains and dainty pearls — over large statement pieces in an effort to achieve a minimalist, yet feminine wardrobe. But there are moments when I pull out a t-shirt or a blouse that just begs to be paired with something more substantial, something that can anchor the look when none of the other elements of the outfit are quite powerful. This is what makes me absolutely crave Regina Dabdab’s collections.

The Lace-Up Pump

The most ubiquitous shoe this season must have been the lace up sandal. So many variations, from the Schutz Erlene to the Aquazzura Amazon, have been spotted on well-heeled fashionistas and street-style stars around the globe. It’s no wonder: they are full of sex appeal and add enough pizzazz to elevate any outfit—from your casual boyfriend-jeans-and-a-white-t-shirt look to that little black dress you’ve been meaning to update—to easily become a focal point and emblem of your style.
