Summer days should be carefree, with the freedom to explore shady paths and sunny shores. To paint pictures and picture dreams come true.  Summer is playful, flavorful and sublime. Summer is a favorite song on the radio and a breeze through an open window.

Summer fashion should be a reflection of all that you love about summer.  It should be uncomplicated, refreshing and fun!

The fabulous designers we carry at Me & Kay seem to understand how important summer is – and how very special summer memories will be in the years ahead.

Those memories might shine even brighter with a little help from one of our favorite summer fashion trends… metallics!  Summer gives us the freedom to take this trend in unexpected directions, so get ready to have some fun with some of summer’s most playful looks!

MIA New York gives us a choice of metallics that can be worn in a variety of ways. There’s a berry bright Metallic Pink Tank that will make any outfit pop or a Metallic Gold Shine Tee that can take a casual look up a notch – or two.  MIA’s Metallic Shorts in frosty pink are the perfect base for a fun, fresh look and are a must this summer. For a different look entirely, the designer also offers Black Metallic Shorts.

The Silver Faux-Leather Dress from MIA New York is a keeper! Perfect for summer nights, this soft stylish dress can be paired with a pretty top when the days grow shorter and the nights get cooler. It also looks great under our MIA New York Black Faux Fur Jacket.

The designers at MIA New York round out there shimmering summer line with the sensational silver Love Metallic Skirt. The waistband wraps her in “LOVE” and the metallic pleats just might make her feel invincible.  We paired it with a Black Pleather Mini Tank from Flowers by Zoe for a fun yet fierce look.

Stella Cove takes the metallic trend to the beach or pool with a Blue Pom Pom Bikini. Shade Critters adds a sparkle to their swimwear, too, with a chic Sequined-Cactus One-Piece.

Metallics also feature largely in the summer line from Pink Chicken. Their Liza Lamé Dress in shimmering pink is as cute as it is comfy and is also available in a luscious Liz Rose Gold Dress.

Stacey Fraser is the design maven behind Pink Chicken. We can’t thank her enough for creating fun, fabulous clothes that seem to travel effortlessly from a day at the beach to dinner at your favorite café.

You might even be able to find the sheen of metallics – like the Ivory Violetta Leotard from Atsuyo Et Akiko – in our special selection of sale items! The stars in the summer sky might be just a little envious when your little leading lady slips into this comfy yet stylish leotard adorned with gold stars – especially if you pair it with the matching Ivory Violetta Skirt.
