May 15th, 2015 at 2:00am

Summer is calling, which can only mean that it is time to break out the sunglasses, sandals and floppy hats. And, of course, with great accessories comes great clothing. Whether you look for trends when building on your summer wardrobe or not, there are definitely a few that you should not ignore during your shopping trip.

The alice + olivia resort 2015 collection says blue and coral are the hallmarks of color blocking and clean and smooth is in, giving us a refreshing alternative to distressed denim and loose kimonos. The collection is an ideal source of inspiration for your next summer abroad or quaint lunch date. Whether you are a fan of the watercolor prints, the color blocking, the captivating florals or the occasional pair of oxford shoes, each piece is ideal for sprucing up your summer wardrobe. It is time to invest in structure, color and the unconventional.

This Fashionista captured the essence of the alice + olivia resort 2015 collection with a printed skater skirt, a white tank top and light brown leather accessories. The coral and navy blue print combined with the soft white tank top reminded me of look 9. Like this Fashionista’s outfit, the solid tank top brightened the scenic print on the skater skirt, and the nude leather pumps polished the look. However, instead of wearing pumps, this Fashionista pulled off a more relaxed look in a nude open wedge.

All in all, this Fashionista’s ensemble captured the youthful spirit of the alice + olivia resort collection and brand with her vivacious print and muted accessory choices. If you are looking to add more color to your summer, take this Fashionista’s style advice of the week.
