Free People top
Here are three great additions to your spring and summer wardrobe. All are versatile, beautiful, and affordable. Take a look.
We still have a few chilly nights to come before summer gets here. Free People has the perfect top for those times. This Free People Women?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s Nordic Nuzzle Top in Ivory has long sleeves and sweater knit trim. It also features a metal button placket on the bust. Made of 59% cotton, 39% Modal, and 2% Spandex, this sweet top is super comfy, too. $88.

French Connection dress
Once those warm nights arrive, however, you?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ll be ready with this sleeveless button front dress by French Connection. This dress is made from cotton, and the style is inspired by the classic shirtwaist dress, made sleeveless with an easy fit. A self belt defines your waist without interrupting the vertical lines of the dress. $178 in Olive Green.

Charles David shoes
High heel sandals are very hot this summer, and with these Charles by Charles David ?¢‚Ǩ?ìChill?¢‚Ǩ¬ù sandals, it is easy to see why. These dressy sandals with leather uppers feature curved vamp straps (the straps that cross the instep) for a great new take on the asymmetrical silhouette. These sandals are available in Coral and Camel. $59.99 at Overstock.com.

Alice + Olivia Samba Top with Self Tie in Berry/Light Pink - $178
The Alice + Olivia Self Tie Samba Top in a luscious Berry-light pink color combination might possibly be enough to distract young ladies coveting the Alice + Olivia Talulah Tank Dress with and wondering if short dresses are OK for prom.?Ǭ† For this top is pretty enough to go to a prom, or to reliably lift sprits when spring forgets to be warm and drenches everyone with rain.
The Samba top is cut generously, yet doesn?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t look the least bit hefty or overdone. Rather, it drapes gorgeously, tying at the waist and ending flirtatiously at the hip. With its rich, true color, combined with its sexy-but-not-exhibitionist styling, this top is destined to be borrowed by daughters from their mother?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s closet, or vice versa, for a long time. Combining frivolity with function is the genius of this, and so many of Alice + Olivia designs.
Since launching in 2002, the Alice + Olivia line now includes children?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s clothing, yoga clothing, and ready to wear. Lucky enough to be home to standalone Alice + Olivia boutiques are New York, Southampton, Malibu, Los Vegas, and Los Angeles
