By Roni RablWe started discussing tips and trends for trendy looking spring summer looks. Metallic and textures are also big for next season,
and let me tell you, they’re here to stay for a while. That is why
they’re worthwhile looking out for. But this can be an even bigger
challenge.How do I wear a metallic look and not feel/look like an alien?How do I wear textured garments and not going out into the world looking like a Christmas tree?See
the images and judge for yourself. It is absolutely possible, and
therefore remember my first tip: be well advised and look for the

Let’s see what else is in the works this coming season:Galabia looksThis airy light look is a great match for all water related activities. Hides what needs to be hidden, and gives a nice ethnic flare to it. Galabias have become a household necessity; from hosting guests to cocktail parties, this look was embraced by movie stars on the streets of LA and NY as well as well know society women hosting parties.Lace, and mixed patterns - fabric/knit mixedWe’re seeing an interesting play of textures in knits and fabrics.

On a tour of one of the Historical Houses in Charleston last year, I noticed that in all family portraits, the hair of both parents was always painted grey or white. No matter how young or old they were. I was drawn to it with surprise while the tour guide explained how back then, grey hair WAS a sign of respect. Ha!Grey hair IS a sign of respect.
