It pick: Orange Dreamsicle

There's nothing that reminds me more of summer than thinking of those long, lazy days lounging at the pool, eating one of my favorite summer treats-an orange-cream dreamsicle of sugary goodness. Orange hues among with other shockingly bright colors are the fashion lover's candy du jour this season, and what better way to live nostalgically in those long-gone carefree days of summer than adding splashes of orange to your wardrobe? This laid-back color is a great pairing for the 'tribal' trend we are seeing this season-what an exotically unexpected pairing with these bold prints. More conservative women can still appreciate this buttery color when worn in handbags, jewelry, or even shoes, and take comfort in splurging because these accessories can easily transition into fall. Bolder gals can pair this with other rainbow-bright colors (avoiding hot pink and orange, please, we are not in the eighties..), or the bold prints we are also seeing a lot of this season.

Splurge: Let those feet do all the talking in these flashy slingback sandals, on sale for $337. This luxe orange alligator skin bag will last you many seasons to come, $461. Be draped like a goddess in this gorgeous Alberta Ferretti orange chiffon dress, $945. Or add some ege to this sweet Hanii Y flutter sleeve top with some rocker heels or bold jewelry. Speaking of, splurge on this David Yurman ring and pair it with virtually anything in your summer wardrobe.

Save: Keep it chic in these orange peep toe Prada flats, only $208. Have fun in the office but still look like you mean business in this Kay Unger dress, $310. Do the PETA way for donning animal print with this Kenneth Jay Lane tiger print cuff, $115. Go global in this exotic bangle , $188.

Steal: Do casual chic on the cheap with these slingback orange flats from ASOS, $39. Be supremely sweet in this orange ruffle dress, $59. Just add a tribal necklace for some edge. Go back to the sixties in this floral shift dress, $22.80. Keep it simple in this Forever 21 tunic, $19.80. Always count on Forever 21 for trendy jewelry on the cheap-like this tribal bangle or these bold hoop earrings.
