It may be Monday, but I'm still in (stylish) Sunday picnic mode.

Serendipitously in tune with Chanel and Gucci's recent Classics-inspired collections, perfectly seasoned for endless summer soirees--and on sale!

Herewith the : it breezes around with flats during the day then steps out with sexy (sky-high) sandals at night, all for $155! I'd crank things up even more with this dramatic red lipstick, this clutch, and these diamond earrings.

Stripes, straw, and fringe, oh my!

Sunshine bottled in a (super cute) dress!

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.
