It’s hot.  And from the looks of it, everyone is finding ways to escape the heat and take advantage of slow Augusts with plenty of vacation time.  Whether you are daydreaming of the beach from your desk or sailing around Greece, here are my favorite summer looks to keep you cool and a short list of the pervasive seasonal trends.

*Plenty of dresses – any and every length

*Off-the-shoulder everything – dresses and tops

*Sexy, low backs

*Strappy Sandals

*Crop Tops

*Denim Cut-offs

*Long skirts

Aquazzura’s summer shoe collection makes up the majority of the sandals on my summer favorites list.  Each style has personality for days and the bright colors bring so much energy to every outfit.  And, as a gift to all of our feet, their 2″ heels are just as cool as those 4″.  What’s better than a great looking shoe that feels good too?

 Seriously, they are all such stunners!
