Summer is here with the raging heat and extra bright sunshine. Hot weather calls for sandals, and your friends at My Melrose and Melrose Family Fashions have picked different fashionistas, their subculture tastes, and their summer activities. We have eight selections below for more details and styling recommendations, from flats to block heels.

Clothes are always essential to showcasing one's style, and accessories are sometimes left out of the style planning, therefore keeping the full potential of an aesthetic from shining. So instead of planning your look with clothing at the helm, try a new strategy with the accessories you have lying around that you don't quite know what to pair them with. Your friends at My Melrose and Melrose Family Fashions will teach you how with our four curated examples. Read below for complete accessory profiles with some tips on outfits that would excellently match the aesthetic you're going for.

Graduations, ends of semesters, weddings, and more are joint this time of year. With this mix of events, there's always a call for celebration, and everyone wants to get excited and let loose in their way. For this week's blog, My Melrose has curated some ladies' heels for various occasions for different styles, tastes, and personalities.

When the average person thinks about Mother's Day, we picture a biological mom that brought us into the world; but that's not exactly everyone's reality. Think about specific circumstances; relatives or non-blood families might adopt some; some of us may have never had a mother due to a passing or an estranged relationship. What we do have in our lives are women who raised us. These women could be our grandmas, aunts, sisters, or family that chose us; a more accurate outlook and mantra to follow regarding family is that family is what we make it. This Mother's Day, honor your mom or the female role models who were there to act as a mother for you. My Melrose and Melrose Family Fashions take this time to celebrate these fantastic women by showing outfits that highlight female grace and beauty.

Cosmetics, hair, and skincare products are some of the most fun and addicting items to grab, whether it's a regular purchase or something you want to try. My Melrose and Melrose Family Fashions isn't just for apparel and shoes; we carry various beauty products in our stores. This week, we'd like to share 12 of our current beauty must-haves and when and how best to use them. 

We have returned with conversations on the zodiacs and My Melrose ladies' shoe styles based on them. Last week's article explained the significance of the zodiac and how you can look deeper into your sign. Our friends under the sun sign's Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, and Cancer. This week, we're talking about Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, and shoes based on these signs. 

Among youth culture, particularly younger millennials and older Gen Z, a fun and trendy topic of conversation is one's astrological or zodiac sign. Whether or not you believe in astrology, there are some excellent ways to distinguish yourself with inspiration from your zodiac sign. If you're already immersed in astrology or want to delve into it for fun, Co–Star is a beautiful app to get daily horoscopes and charts from. We at My Melrose find astrology fun and exciting, so we wanted to find a way to integrate it into our content. So this week, we bring you part one of shoes inspired by zodiac signs. 

Refer back to a small piece of our post on trending fashion colors for spring/summer 2023, where we discuss Pantone's color of the year, Viva Magenta 18-1750, and the mantra behind it; the encouragement of exploration and self-expression. While this pushes for bold colors and prints, a range of neutral earth-tone colors are creeping to the forefront of fashion this spring – think of a variety of browns, greys, greens, beige, etc. This week, My Melrose talks about earth-tone colors; what colors go with these varieties, and how to create outfits inspired by natural colors we see every time we go outside. 

"Chill time" doesn't have a dedicated date on the calendar. Instead, we all find ways to have a good time and escape from our routines. With the weather warming up, fun and exciting events start to pop up, like Coachella in California, Lolapalooza in Chicago, Fiesta in the My Melrose headquarters city of San Antonio, Texas, and so much more. This week, we want to talk about festival fashion derived from the mainly bohemian style and more vibrant and colorful inspirations for events like Fiesta.
