Be Inspired: Tribal Style
Fierce. Fine. Fabulous. The tribal trend is not for the faint of heart, but the risk is worth the rewards. Leighton Meester took on the red carpet with a leg-baring, tribal-printed dress, but this trend looks just as hot off the red carpet. The most fashion-forward fashionistas have been seen mixing up all sorts of Native American prints and Southwest-inspired accessories into their midsummer wardrobes. An Aztec-print tank remakes a pair of cut-offs or a solid-colored mini and heels. A flowing maxi suddenly becomes showstopping when it’s done up in a bold print. But if you’re looking to add just a little of the trend (or top off a whole tribal-inspired outfit), turquoise and feather-embellished accessories add fierce flair to any look.

2. Koolaburra Venus Fringe Sandal ($143)
