Jonesin’ for Janis (1)
Veronica Beard at Clementine’s, 1260 Yonge St., O.r.p. $1,495, here $775
“There is such a level of luxury 
to this piece: this beautiful silk chiffon, the rich print, the plunging neckline and the voluminous sleeve.”

Beatnik blues (2)
Cloakroom, 1177 Yonge St., #17, $118
“This French blue is such a gorgeous shade of blue, and the textured fabric makes it really interesting. It has that great folkloric feel that’s a big part of this whole trend.”

Flower child (3)
Want boutique, 1788 Avenue Rd., $395.95
“I love this dress! It’s ultra feminine, done in a beautiful antique peach with embroidery all over and little trumpet sleeves. It has a vintage vibe to it.”

Folksy find (4)
Thursdays, 1130 Yonge St., $260
“This is just a fun classic boho tunic. It’s got great embroidery, and it feels very fresh because of the white. Plus it’s lined! It’s a quality piece perfect for the summer.”

Swingin’ and swayin’ (6)
Guess, CF Promenade, $128
“Very sexy. It’s got these lovely little spaghetti straps so it goes off the shoulder — a great nod to that trend.”  

That’s Italy (7), 2660 Yonge St., $2,368
“The volume makes it incredibly luxurious and very high fashion. The drama!”

Risqué (8), 404 Bloor St. W., $90
“I just think this is adorable, what with the ruching and the off the shoulder. And just a great price! Young and spirited.”
