London-based model Grace McGovern has beach-to-street style nailed, thanks to versatile pieces that are both seaside and skyscraper-friendly. In Ibiza, above, she rocks a cute crochet Zara dress that would also work under a oversized white blazer in the city. Same goes for the flowy checked skirt, below. Her other summer go-to's: simple t-shirt dresses (from Kule, Jonathan Simkhai and With Jean, pictured below); knit dresses (ALC, Line & Dot, and Asos), seductive shoulder-baring tops (this, this and this), statement sunnies (yes and yes!), and a good straw bucket hat (And Other Stories, below).

More days in Hawaii means more standout dresses! I hit the jackpot with Goop's new maxi, above, which makes a major statement from the front and the back (see here). The other beauties that made my carry-on edit: this vibrant Cynthia Rowley, this belted Cleobella mini, this floral Spell dress, this white Ulla Johnson (which I bought in HI), and this day to night shirt dress from Zara.

I'm no longer an aspiring chic French girl. I am an aspiring chic French mother, who looks like a sister to her daughters! Translation: I want to be like Paris-based Elisabeth Mory, on the right, above, with her twin daughters. Along with their amazing genes, it's also their amazing jeans and other updated French-girl classics that manifest timeless style. Their go-tos: crisp straight-leg denim from Re/Done, Frame, and Rouje, easy, breezy dresses from The Reformation and Realisation Par, fitted t-shirts by Frankie Shop and Theory (below) and Mar y Sol woven bags.

Bikes and big dresses: It's officially a thing this summer--at least on Instagram! While I'm not sure I can finesse wearing the dress while riding a bike without it getting caught in the chain, I can max out my dress game with big-statement beauties. The latest and greatest come from English Factory, Free People, Love the Label, Staud, ALC, and Solid & Striped.

When Venice-based designer Kendall Conrad asked my sis and me to pile on her new summer jewelry, we were more than thrilled! We've long been fans of her minimalist, bohemian-spirited, yet elegant aesthetic. Her signature pieces--stackable rings, easy hoops, and tribal cuffs--are the ones we wear day in and day out, everywhere and anywhere! Please check out all the fun pics and our favorite styles here. We also did a funny Q&A--check it out here!

Since the day I was born, I've always had two closets: mine and my identical twin sister's. To this day, I still borrow (and, okay, sometimes steal) pieces from her wardrobe and vice versa. It's an uniquely awesome arrangement, dependent upon our exact-same size, height, and, for the most part, similar style. It's fun to see Danish twin models Amalie and Cecilie Moosgard, pictured here, doing the same thing. Although I can't tell them apart (LOL!), I can clearly discern their mutual fondness for summer whites (Tove dress, third pic down, along with Filipa K Mango and Toteme jeans, below), backless swimsuits-meet-tops (Anemos, pictured below, and also this one), Levi's denim cut-offs, black ATP Atelier cut-out sandals (immediately below) and ballerinas, easy button-downs (this, this, and this), and fitted white t-shirts and perfect tanks. #goals
