My favorite wardrobe color combinations usually involve purple, turquoise, yellow and black/white prints, so the Resort 2010 collection from Derek Lam was pretty much made for me. I love the short dresses, bright belts, fitted jackets, bold jewelry, and of course the sexy, strappy heels! I'm excited to incorporate some new pieces to my summer closet that are inspired by these looks. Here are some cool items, from tres cheap to minor splurge, that fit the bill...
