What styles are you most excited about for spring ’16?

“I’m exploring my love of leopard print!”

What are your favorite summer shoes?

“I love wearing flats when I’m by the sea. My knotted Marina espadrille sandals, from my Encore collection of classics, are always in my suitcase in several colors and prints. They’re feminine and easy to dress up or down.”
