Flip-flopsFlip-flops have become a staple of summer apparel, and for good reason. No one can deny the carefree feeling of donning your summer flip-flops for the first time in late spring. But alas, flip-flops are more sinister than they appear.

We all know someone who's flipped in their flops. I took a nasty spill last summer when I tried sprinting from the car to the dry cleaners before they closed. They stayed open an extra few minutes for me, but not before they had a good laugh at my expense.

So what exactly makes flip-flops so treacherous?

A study done in 2010 at the University of Louisiana highlighted the issues. For one, as any flip-flop connoisseur will know, you often have to curl your toes just a bit to grab the flip-flop to make sure it stays on your foot. This seemingly innocuous behavior actually causes the muscles in the front of your shin to work harder, causing strain that isn't otherwise present when you're walking

Spring and summer are all about florals, a trend which really harkens back to the 1960s (think Mad Men.)

There are so many ways to embrace flower power, from donning blooms head-to-toe to throwing on a single, feminine accent. Here are some tips:

• Go matchy-matchy. Wear floral capris (or jeans) with a matching floral print top. (You can pull it off. Promise!)

• Mix things up by pairing patterns. Florals look great with stripes (It works!). Simply choose a stripe in the same color palette as your print.

• What's more feminine than a floral dress? We love the fit and flare styles that seem lifted straight out of Joan or Betty's wardrobe. And a printed pencil skirt with a solid top and nude shoes is a timeless and elegant look.

We could pretty much care less about which celebrities are getting married or divorced and then married again. The couplings that excite us are that our favorite designers teaming up on one collaboration after another. Floral Barbour jackets don't just happen by accident-it takes the meeting of two very great minds. Kind of like John and me....

Who doesn't love a fire engine red linen dress especially when it's made by Max Mara? I know I can't think of a soul either. I'm sure NASA spotted this fire engine red linen Max Mara dress from outer space. It didn't take me over a minute to see this one. It's beautiful with just the right amount of glam but that's what you would expect from a 60 year old Italian company like Max Mara. I love this brand because they really do minimal & streamline to perfection. So I grabbed this dress and before I could inhale my next breathe I spotted this leopard print silk Nicole Miller dress.

Nicole Miller is sold at Neiman Marcus, Saks, Bloomingdales & Nordstrom so she's a heavyweight champ. I'm quite pleased with these 2
