1/5Ooh la Anna
Anna Sui enlisted the jewelry design dynamos behind Erickson Beamon to create a necklace that resembles a bottle of love potion. Its intricate beading and chic phrase "Ooh la love!" will catch anyone's eye. Pair it with a plain top and get ready to welcome the gentleman callers.

2/5Keep it together
Sometimes blending two types of clothing spells disaster: Remember the skort? Luckily, Libertine combined a shirt and dress into a striped shirtdress for Target that will keep you cool and chic. It's easy, it's breezy and it's a classic combo—kind of like you and the beach.

3/5Mission Missoni
Credit Missoni for having the vision to turn a plain black high heel (yawn) into a futuristic stacked heel with cute cut outs (yippee!). Strap on this sexy platform and make a statement. For winter or summer, day or night, this shoe will make any outfit pop.
