As the summer heat continues to sizzle, so do the new looks of this season. Self-taught fashion designer Elie Saab swept me into a fashion swirl during the Spring/Summer 2017 Fashion Week in Paris. His collection, "Standing on Stardust," captivated me with a memorizing legerdemain of colors, patterns, and shapes. His look is elegant, deceptively simple and classic but it blows a breeze of freshness and allure with every pose and every step. It is perfect for this time of year. Subtle or bold, be the heat and the salve in the summer air with a page from the Stardust sketchbook to create those dazzling looks that are sure to work for you.

Now that the season is in full steam, it is time to step into your fashion stride. Summer may be the easiest season to impress as the casual backdrop makes your special exceptional. If the traditional office is where you spend most of your time, create looks that are professional and stylish. Dresses, suits and separates in cottons and linens transition beautifully from the office to post work events. Focus on light, soft solid colors or friendly patterns for your wardrobe and accessories. Now that you have set your fashion mark for the office, you can prepare for those long summer days and warm nights.

As heat has you moving, it is time for a little fun. Show off your summer glow in cool, soft and airy fabrics enlivened in red and white and blue. Try playful mirrored rainbow sunglasses to frame your face, while your lips pout in hot pink and your nails shine in metallic sand colors. Adorn yourself in a little body bling and light bronze shimmer oil. Then toss on a quote inspired over-sized floppy hat and a whimsical straw tote bag that doubles as a picnic basket to stroll along the beach and poolside. And please don't forget the sunscreen.

Still trending summer looks consist of the ever popular look of denim for work and play. Okay, so you say the summer has just gotten hotter and how do I keep this look cool? Try denim shorts, dresses and skirts in softer fabrications. Jeans are flirtier when worn with a frayed and kicked flared hem. The go to shoe looks for this line up are denim gladiator lace up Espadrilles and platform sandals. White is always all right when the temperature outside gets too hot to handle. Keep cool in an asymmetrical white shirt with obi tie detailing paired with a pair of high-waisted palazzo pants. Or slip into a white cotton-gauze maxi dress sure to take everyone's breathe away. Keep your face cool and beautifully framed accented with a bold globally inspired headband. Plunging necklines with delicate sheer detailing or mixed floral prints and tiers of ruffles are captivatingly feminine. The most important accessory, however, this summer is the scarf. It's like your Apple-Pay, don't leave home without it. This masterful piece takes you anywhere you want to go for day or night. The chameleon of accessories transforms itself into a necklace, bracelet, headband, handbag accessory as well as something to keep the retail chill off.

Whether it's a weekend to the beach or a resort stay-cation, your summer escape won't be complete without the solid one-piece suit that is sophisticated enough to take you from day to night. Accentuate your swimsuit with a paradise inspired kimono cover up and jeweled leather pool slide sandals for your time taking in the water. Then slip on a beach hued long flowing skirt and a pair of metallic ankle tie block high heel sandals to dance under the stars.

Traveling comfortably may be the new norm but looking stylish while doing so should be too. Our airports are the international runways to the A-listers of the world. What better place for you to draw your fashion inspiration. Comfy travel chic styles include cold shoulder pullovers, drawstring sweatpants, motto leggings and track ready run jackets. Slip on a pair of lace-less wedge sneakers and a grommet accentuated back pack or saddle bag to hold your approved TSA essentials. Keep your look popping by adding charms, and hot pink pompom's to your travel bags. Ditch the expected black luggage for a new colorful collection. Smile and surprise others when you and your travel companion roll stylishly by. You are now on your way to creating another adventure.

Speaking of adventures, there nothing like cooling off with non-stop action, adventure, and nostalgia at the movies. If you haven't done it, see the box office sensation, "Wonder Woman" starring Gal Gadot, aka Diana Prince light up the screen with an incomparable display of beauty, and power. The period fashions are fun too. Remember to enjoy and share the summer wonder in you!
