Summer Dresses

Spring and summer are my favorite times of year. And although Spring is technically here, the weather has not been cooperating. This week has been pouring, I am coughing, and its doesn’t feel like June. Nonetheless, let’s look into the future. There will be warm days, and rays of sunshine. Furthermore, once it does get warm you will find me at the nearest beach. My closet is upside down, but there are t-shirts, open-toe sandals, and a slew of summer dresses at the ready. If there is one thing you absolutely need for your closet now, it is a summer dress. Therefore, I’ve put together a list of some of my favorite summer dresses right now. You can shop them all below.

Where is everyone going for Memorial Day weekend? While I usually head to my parents beach house in the Hamptons to commemorate summer’s beginning, this year will different.

It’s been around forever, super comfortable, easy to wash, and looks good on everyone. Part of its enduring legacy is due to designers reimagining it every season. A basic pair of jeans will never get old but seeing it in the form of chic culottes, patchwork, or a denim mini skirt makes me fall in love with it over and over again. Whenever I get dressed and am at a loss of what to wear, I pull out my favorite top and pair it with denim. We all own a pair of jeans, so this is an easy how-to in the style department. Trends change, but jeans are... Read More

Timeless Style

Timelessness is a priority in French style. The navy and white striped pullover is exemplary of how an item of clothing, when made well, can last forever.

To follow their lead, the Breton stripe was catapulted to high fashion.... Read More
