Help ease the transition from college to the real world by gifting your recent grad with a present that'll help them as they go about building the adult life they've been dreaming of. A freshly printed degree and magna cum laude status are nice, sure, but when it comes to nailing the big interview, a perfect pump or smart blazer can be just as important.
It isn't necessary to wear jewelry to sparkle in jewel tones. Simply follow Burberry's Spring 2013 lead by sporting an array of cool (and warm-weather-appropriate) pieces in bold shades like citrine, emerald, amethyst, and ruby. You'll look effortlessly chic in one head-to-toe hue, but don't be afraid to mix and match. These saturated colors all work together flawlessly.

Finding a chic carryall that can easily take you from lounging in the sand to drinks afterwards is a seasonal essential. This Summer, beach-worthy totes from Leghilà, Club Monaco, and Marc by Marc Jacobs feature a range of water-resistant and lightweight silhouettes that are equally chic as they are functional. Shop over 35 of our editor's favorite picks below.
Whether you're a denim loyalist or just on the hunt for the perfect pair of cutoffs, you've come to the right place. But as a warning, this season's play on bold prints isn't for the faint of heart, nor are the cool-girl takes on ultradistressed silhouettes. For the casual dresser, the tomboy short is ideal for the laziest days of Summer. And if you're already riding the '90s throwback wave, then why not embrace the overalls revival while you're at it? Edgier moto vests, fresh pastel skinnies, and a totally new interpretation on patchwork can only mean one thing: the denim lover will be well stocked this Summer. See — and shop — all the standout denim, or choose a key trend below.

Want to be a leading lady? A peplum dress will accentuate your figure in an elegant way. Find the feminine silhouette in every color and pattern under the sun, from seafoam and scarlet to ikat and animal-print.
On her way to the Glamour "These Girls" event last night, Emma Robert wore a look that positively popped on the streets of NYC. We can't get enough of this pink-and-white Camilla and Marc dress ($499) — between the clean top and flirty bottom. (And we're not even going to mention how she color-coordinated with her iPhone!) If you don't have the budget to snatch Emma's exact dress, you can just as easily re-create the look at home with a shirt-and-skirt combo. Fear pink is far too cutesy for your style? Just refer to Emma on how to temper the look. Start by tucking a dressy white tank into a pink skirt — you can choose a shade, cut, and length that flatters your figure — then add black statement heels and drop earrings, like Emma's Jennifer Meyer pair, to give it a fancier feel. Sold? Shop similar pieces below to get started.
Want to add ladylike intrigue to your ensemble? From a Rebecca Minkoff lasercut purse to a Christopher Kane pencil skirt to Erdem D'Orsay pumps, these lady-adorned separates, dresses, and accessories are just the ticket.
All it takes is one bold cuff to shine bright this season, and the newest installments from jewelry extraordinaires like Kelly Wearstler, Tom Binns, and Alexis Bittar are begging to be worn with all of your little white dresses. Make a minimal and modern statement with solid structures or make an exotic statement with a rhinestone-embellished beauty. Intrigued? Shop our editors' 36 favorites.
