With metallics so big for summer, try purchasing a different color than the usual gold, silver, and pewter options. Copper is a great alternative since it is bold, yet surprisingly neutral. Copper looks great with jeans and khakis, yet is also picks up many hues in patterns and can easily complement a variety of summer dresses or skirts. Copper can be easily dressed up or down, and can transition easily with your day look of shorts and a tee to that little black dress you’ll throw on for a night out.

It takes a lot these days for a shoe to really catch my eye. However, the Gianvito Rossi “Patent Slingback sandals” caught my attention as soon as I viewed them. The innovative strap design is alluring, as the strategic mix of silver and black draws attention to the interesting strap without detracting from the shoe’s beautiful and fluid form. What makes this shoe even better is that it matches with almost everything, making it the perfect combination of design and wearability.
