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

1. River Island gingham cut-out dress,
2. RAEN x Alex Knost sunglasses,
3. Smith & Cult Lip Lacquer in The Warning,

You're probably more than ready to shed all the fur and fluff, but your feet may feel otherwise. In fact, they might just want to warm up to the furry footwear trend that's stepping into the spotlight. My tootsies are intrigued, but at the same time, tentative, too. I think they'd be more comfortable in less-OTT styles, such as the feather , below, and these by (this , too), , and . Those more brave than I should definitely consider the shearling , above, which is sold out pretty much everywhere except and .

This gorgeously re-imagined white blouse comes just in time for summer.

My best friend calls me Laverne (from Laverne and Shirley!) because I like to monogram everything I can get my hands--and toes--on, such as these summer-perfect .
