sandals are my favourite type of shoe.. wait...who am i kidding, thats a lie. everyone knows i'm obsessed with pumps.. but flats come in at a close second! i love the feeling of a "barely there" flat! it's the perfect summer shoe. a great sandal does what any great accessory does - wake up an otherwise boring outfit, or add the perfect finishing touch.

unless you live in the southern hemisphere, im sure you know that summer is officially here. cue shorts, sunglasses and floppy hats! summer is my favourite season, as its the one that reminds me of home the most. us tropical divas thrive on hot sun and salty water.. yay beach... but inbetween beach "limes" ( a trini word meaning get-togethers) and summer bbq are a host of other summer outings that requires a diva to represent.. to step out looking all fabulous despite the weather... divas shine in ALL seasons. you know it! and that brings me to this post: summer bronzers and blushes. check out my favourite bronzers and blushes after the jump!

sauce & stilettos: shepherds pie

hey divas! this is the first installment of our new food feature, sauce and stilletos. i'm most definitely a foodie but eating out can be an expensive habit, so i decided to learn how to make a few of my favs the right way. i got this shepherd's pie recipe from my friend the chef and though i havent tried it myself yet, it promises to be good. i'll def be giving it a go for one of our summer potluck dinners. don't foreget to open a bottle of wine while u cook. i swear... it makes the food taste better! see the recipe after the jump.

maxi dresses are an easy way to be stylish yet comfortable in the summer heat.

hello lovelies!.. no i haven't fallen off the planet, just been extremely busy working on some new projects for this blog, and preparing to move (more on that later). the beginning of summer is also one of the busiest times for me, and the heat doesn't help, so its been a whirlwind few weeks! but, i am loving the summer colours and the easy breezy summer chic this year, especially simple maxi-dresses in bold graphic prints. summer is not the time for complicated clothing. rock it with bold acessories and you're set. but speaking of clothes....
