Sunshine bottled in a (super cute) dress!

1. H&M dressm
2. Ray-Ban sunglasses,
3. Marc Jacobs bracelet,
4. Shashi stretch bracelet,
5. Rosie Assoulin basket clutch,
6. No. 21 embellished slides,

If you're wild about stripes and mixing them up, then there's a good chance you'll love this dress--or perhaps even more, its less expensive !

The one dress that will be crisscrossing time zones with me this summer will seamlessly go with a bikini and flip flops during the day to bling and heels at night. Very much like the ruffled , above (I also like 's version in red and 's pinstripe!). Other compelling options: this dramatic halter-neck maxi that can be styled a million different ways, this eyelet , this off-the-shoulder , this sexy low-V-neck , and this cut-out mini dress.

A dress that epitomizes spring fresh!

This straw bag cutely combines denim, pops of pink and a throw-it-over-your-shoulder gold link chain, along with a whimsical warm-weather vibe.

Raffia trim takes this cardigan from staple to standout!

Like the best pair of jeans, this denim dress is tirelessly wearable and effortlessly cool.

Springing up this season: marigold dresses! This vivid yellow hue isn't for every skin type, but it works for mine, which is why I did a little digging around to root out the best. Here's what I found: this off duty-ready , this eyelet , this lace maxi, this wrap , this pleated silk , this effortlessly chic , and this party-perfect .

Back to work, working on effortless summer style!

Mixing up my stripes just got easier and chicer with this shirt dress.
