It felt like summer happened almost overnight, but the last couple of weeks of sunny spells have called for us to seriously rethink our everyday wardrobes. Linen trousers are always a failsafe and tank tops and blouses are a must, but if we had to bank on anything being a seasonal smash hit this summer, it has to be skirts.

If there’s one thing in your closet that’ll see a big return on cost per wear, it’s the tunic dress. There are so many styles that have caught our attention this summer, from bubble hems to the crochet dress. And while we’d gladly wear any of them, we’re a bit surprised more love hasn’t been given to the ultimate summer dress: the tunic dress. After all, it’s the most comfortable, versatile, and fresh purchase one could make this time of year—and one you’ll wear nonstop from today through September.

Unless it girls sat in the front row, basketball games were historically hardly the venue to find style inspiration. Thankfully, that no longer holds true.

Blouse: The term calls to mind many styles, from crisp white tailored shirts to breezy cottagecore options and more. But practically, it means one thing to this fashion editor—easy elegance. As Donna Karan’s “7 Easy Pieces” first showed us, the aforementioned white shirt can be styled so many many ways (like with pants or a skirt, under a blazer, or even over a bodysuit). Other iterations feel just as easy when worn with straight-leg jeans and loafers in the fall or a maxi skirt and sandals in the summer. The possibilities are, well, endless.

When my friends saw me wearing Birkenstocks, they did a double take. I'm quite the fashion person who lives for a pair of heeled booties, so this was a bit out of character. I honestly think just a year or two ago I would have also done a double take upon seeing myself, but things have changed. Birkenstock's Boston Clogs are cool again. Scrolling through Pinterest lately, I've seen them time and again, and after trying them out for myself, I've decided that I'm here for it.

Some people spring out of bed in the morning with enough pep in their step to power a whole city, while others need a few cups of coffee throughout the day to keep them moving.

But could astrology make a difference in how much energy someone has?

I’m a denim connoisseur—so much so, there was a period in my life when I owned over 50 pairs of jeans. Think: everything from vintage Wrangler and Levi’s to trendy barrel jeans and polarizing low-rise, thong-rearing cuts. As a former fashion designer who worked alongside some of the best denim designers in the business, I really appreciate the art behind making a quality pair of jeans.
