I still remember my first pair of Sam Edelmans – ivory ballet flats, gold chain links, toe cleavage – at the very start of the ballerina shoe explosion. At point of purchase, I thought Sam Edelman was a woman, was surprised to find out he used to be the Sam in Sam and Libby. Point is, Sam Edelman has blossomed into a hit shoemaker since its inception in 2004, and rather than resting on his laurels, he’ll be resting on our shoulders as the brand extends to handbags. Will I remember my first Edelman bag like I do the shoes? Seeing as the inspirations behind the different facets of the collection are Studio 54 and Parisian streets, it seems quite likely.

When summer starts to get really hot with one 95 degree day after another, I start to run out of new dresses. It never fails: by July, I’m sick of everything I own and raid all the thrift stores in the city for cheap and (sometimes) shapeless muumuus. If you have the same summer wardrobe issue, not to fear. We found 50 dresses for less than $50 you’re going to love.

Now that it’s basically summer — the proliferation of mandals, screaming children on the subway, my overworked sweat glands and the eggs frying on the sidewalk attest to that, though I’m truly not complaining — you may be lamenting the loss of layering – after all, with 98° weather, the fewer the clothes the better. But the tank and booty short routine can get real old real fast. So before you lock those cardigans away in storage forever i.e. the next three months, consider these few tips on layering for summer.
