I don’t know about you all, but I’m ready to ditch the socks and stockings and don some sandals! There’s nothing like a few pairs of bright sandals to get my heart racing. Work your flats day or night this SS12 season with bikinis, shorts, skirts, dresses, tunics and the oh-so-hot colored denim trend! Here’s some of our top picks for 2012:

Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent Love Embroidered Thong Sandal, $198: It’s no wonder they’re called “Love Embroidered.”The luscious coral, green, and hot pink make this price point worthwhile.

Rebecca Minkoff Bettina Flat Sandal, $125: It doesn’t get much bolder than this audacious neon yellow.

FPD Tip: Pair with a bright pedicure for a color-blocked feel, or keep your toes neutral in a pale matte pink or fluid beige to let the sandals shine on their own

Tell us: which pair is your fave?

KORE – Sophia Kokosalaki by ASOS

by

[KORE Cross Halter Tie Dress]

[KORE Self Stripe Shift Dress]

For Spring/Summer 2012, the London based Greek designer Sophia Kokosalaki drew on her heritage to craft an ethically conscious collection, available exclusively at ASOS.com. The lineup gives life to a certain pure sensuality, while maintaining a youthful feel.

Even more inspiring, the brand’s pivotal focus is the empowerment of young women via social responsibility. This ethical commitment is established in a long-term relationship with a community cooperative workshop in Sri Lanka, where all of the hand crafted lace trim is produced, providing a consistent income for the all-female local team.

[KORE Self Stripe Star Tunic]

[KORE Washed Silk Pants]

You’re sure to swoon over the stunning drapery and the hand-crafted lace folded in and out of each design. The power orange halter dress is simply divine (we can’t get enough of this color this season), and also the silk pants feel fresh and visionary. Retailing from $110-$900, Sophia Kokosalaki hopes KORE will reach a broader audience, yet maintain her artistic, cultured aesthetic.

Don We Now Our Favorite Apparel: Holiday-Hued Inspired Dressing

by

Jeffrey Campbell Lita in Red Suede, $159.95

Holiday cheer is in the air as we are inspired to shop, shop, and shop some more! In the latest edition of “Nourish Your [Fashion] Palette,” we have found more reasons to indulge in fashion related fun. While holiday foods call for tradition and satisfaction, holiday clothing is all about sheer delight.

May your days be merry and bright

Traditional Christmas cookies are bright and cheerful, and certainly make a sprinkled statement. Make your own statement with color this season! For example, try red pumps like the pair pictured above from Jeffrey Campbell or a slouchy Deena & Ozzy Slouchy Red Beanie like this one from UrbanOutfitters.

Topshop Zip Front Faux Fur Coat, $220

Naughty or Nice?

If you’re wild enough to down some eggnog, you’re ready to don a fur coat, even if it’s faux! Maintain a neutral palette, but still have spunk with a creamy statement coat like this one from Topshop.

Topshop Foil Velvet Flippy Tunic, $64

Burning Bright

Set the room ablaze in more ways than one. Metallics are ideal for holiday gatherings as your ensemble delicately catches and reflects the lights around you. Be prepared to shine like Hanukkah gelt!

Topshop Knitted Short Cable Cardigan, $84

Winter Whites

Meet that first snowfall with a sensational cozy sweater like this cable-knit cardigan. Don’t shy away from winter whites this season! There are plenty of soft knit options to keep you toasty.

Zara Blazer with Elbow Patches, $89.90

Gingerbread Men[swear]

The menswear trend is a great way to stay casual, but look put together for the holidays. Why not try a classic schoolboy blazer in a ginger-brown color? The elbow patch details are the icing-on-the-cookie!

ASOS Red Pom Pom Mitten, $10.14

Enjoyable Embellishments

The jelly filling in these Sufganiot, traditional Hanukkah deep-fried donuts, mirror the cute red pom poms on the gloves. Deep fried translates to comfort food — it makes you feel warm inside. Here, gloves for the hands are like food for the soul.

Stay festive with FashionPulseDaily and Happy Holidays!
