to the max

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!

The Wall Street Journalrecently reported "joy dressing" is summer's biggest trend, with "exuberant, over-the-top clothing heralding happiness, relief and new beginnings." Well then, this vivid top is my kind of joy!

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

Despite months of closed cafes, restaurants, bars, the French have not skipped a fashion beat. Their style game is as sharp as ever--turning up in just-opened Paris in polished summer staples, such as

Happy to report that my summer is breezing along beautifully, except it's lacking one thing: a long white dress that's lightweight, easy-going, and everywhere-chic. Thankfully, great options abound but my all-out favorites come from Minkpink, Faithfull the Brand, Cecilie Bahnsen (pictured below--this one on sale), Opt, Ulla Johnson (on sale), and Merlette (size down).

Since my early days at Lucky Magazine, I've always championed emerging, female-founded brands. I love the thrill of discovery and sharing--and so I jumped at the opportunity to curate a summer shop on Modatrova, a site dedicated to up-and-coming female designers. I think you'll want to check out all the under-the-radar beauts I found, including the gorgeous Cara Cara dress, above. See my selects here!
