Since the 1950s, Kork-Ease has been THE brand for cork wedges, and with its new Mid-Century Mama collection for Spring 2013, it is continuing that tradition of creating comfortable, chic sandals that everyone can easily love. Go bright with buckled straps of orange, red, and purple, or go natural with earth tones of brown or beige in styles that range from strappy wedges to flip flops. Even if you can’t make it to the beach this summer, these wedge sandals will make you feels as though you are walking the wooden boardwalk instead of the concrete sidewalk. For the sake of your summer wardrobe, this is one hot accessory that you won’t want to refuse.

C. Wonder for Spring 2013
The fantastic world that is C. Wonder was founded on the principle of bold color and playful prints. The luxury brand is most commonly known for its jubilant looks while marrying classic and contemporary styling. The brand goes beyond clothes and accessories to include home decor, with an emphasis on monogram pieces, that matches your individual aesthetic.
For the Spring 2013 collection (which you can begin to shop online or in store now), think the brighter the better. Many of the jewelry pieces have a bamboo hardware theme which will match the conversation starter garments such as: the Lemoncello Dress, $148, or the Park Avenue Rose Trench Coat, 248, or even the Heart or Cherry Skinny Printed Jean, $128 each. With a touch of retro seen throughout the collection is quite prevalent ins accessories such as the Leopard Print Cat Eye Sunglasses, $78 and one of my personal favorites — the Satin Scarf Print Ballet Flat, $98. In the home decor category, you’ll find everything from decorative pillows, $38-$54, to the picture frames,$28 and up, and silverware and dinnerware $14-$48, all blended together to become the ideal affordable, lifestyle brand.

Vans Collab for Spring, & the Fall 2013 Collection
Vans has some AMAZING new fabrications and color-ways to look forward to for its fall 2013 collection, including treatments of sparkle, faux embossed animal skins, fleece-linings, pastel hues, a Hello Kitty collection and Liberty of London collab. See above for pics of my favorite items from a walk-through of the new products with the Vans team, which also includes my favorite new style, the Lace Sk8-Hi Platform, along with fab checkerboard and cork wallet options, sunnies, and apparel.
If you are getting the urge to shop Vans ASAP, you definitely won’t want to miss the capsule collection with brand Kenzo (see last two pics of the slideshow), that takes six of the brand’s original prints and places them on two of Vans’ classic styles – the canvas authentic and the canvas slip-on!
