Several years ago on a photo shoot I fell in love with a stylist's dress. It was effortlessly chic, ready for work and play. It was by Merlette. These days the New York City-based line and its easy yet exceedingly elegant pieces, including the floral dress, above, still have my heart, and I even got my twin sis hooked, too (see below in this handkerchief skirt)! We've also been working (and playing) in this and this. Check out the entire range here.
