The sea of standard black suitcases streaming off the baggage claim not only is a confusing playland of lose-your-luggage, but it’s also super boring to watch. Give yourself a lift at the airport, and get a bag that jumps (and glides as if on ice). However, if you’re going to go black, at least go Jimmy Choo croc.

Memorial Day is quickly approaching, which means it’s time to break out the white pants and shoes, right? At FashionIndie, we don’t care about those idiotic rules and wear whatever we want all the time. But the coming of summer does mean a lighter closet as we stow away greys and browns to make room for whites and brights. If last season’s pieces are looking a little over-worn, check out the guide below and snag our top 15 favorites for a white hot summer.

Maintaining a strong sense of signature style, Orla Kiely has emerged and is working her way to the forefront. Allowing her designs to speak for themselves, Orla makes sure that the evolution of her label’s character rings clear. In creating this personal signature, Orla blends unique fabric patterns and extensive color use to create an image worthy of awe and true precision with detail. None of the patterns created by the designer are identical in detail; though each can be linked through the designers personal details and skill. Refusing to design for a single type of woman, Orla endeavors into crafting countless types of fashions. With dresses, shirts, pants, and more, the label doesn’t stop short of styling each individual head to toe in colorful accessories. Straying away from a single color palette, Orla creates pieces of all different shades. With exciting blues, bright reds, and fun yellows, each work is created with the perfect balance. Pick up an Orla Kiely design for just about an occasion, its the perfect touch to a great ensemble.
