Tops and dresses with cut out knit or lace interwoven back detailing have been all over the runways and available in stores this season. This Knotted Back Knit Dress, $18.90 captures not only the knit trend, but a low waistband with adjustable tie and peep-hole front as well. Get it in black or teal and rock it as either a classic little black dress or daring bright number. Paired with a slouchy hobo bag and gladiator studded sandals, you’ll look like you stepped right off the runway!

In his 2010 Resort collection, Erdem Moralioglu blends two of the world’s most delicate and fanciful phenomena: the Parisian Ballerina and the Japanese Kimono. The resulting garments have an irresistible East-meets-West feel completely appropriate to summer, the season of the year defined by exotic places, faces, and adventures. Moralioglue designs for a woman who, whether she’s a seasoned globetrotter or first-time traveler, demands both style and sophistication and comfort and practicality from her wardrobe. He does this by taking classic summer forms—such as the shirt-dress, the baby doll dress, the 1950s sun dress, and the 1960s miniskirt-blouse combo—and rendering them not in basic, all-American, colored cotton, but in flowing silk with elegant Japanese-style prints. Round necklines, high waist and hemlines, flats, and the model’s messy bun remind us of the ballet, and counterbalance the Eastern-inspired fabric. Moraligolue’s designs are dainty and refined, but their soft, roomy, and breathable qualities leave one convinced you could wear them both to a garden party and on a leisurely bike ride. In other words, they’ve got all the style, versatility, and flexibility we women demand of our summer clothing.
Two floor-length, evening dresses round off the otherwise day-focused collection, highlighting best the artfulness of Moraligolue’s pieces. Loose, tunic tops paired with columnar skirts, as well as floral embellishment included strategically on the top and bottom of the dresses, create an illusion of towering height and extreme length, conjuring up images of artist Gustav Klimt’s whimsical female figures.

Via our lovely friends at LollieShopping.com:
I love the simple shape of this Somali Shopper from Barneys New York. The leather cut-out handles add such richness to the overall look. My favorite style is the Green Swirl, but this chic shopper also comes in four other colors. Oh…if money was as plentiful as my stylish imagination, I’d get one in each color!
