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 denim slides.

Though I've had lots of practice dressing for summer recently, I'm still up for additional remedial help. Enter: Love by Natsu's Instagram, rife with A-game summer style inspiration. I especially love her use of robes in lieu of traditional cover-ups and one-piece bathing suits that--voila!--double as tops. Also in her distinctly cool mix are billowy, romantic dresses, high-waist cropped jeans, structured basket bags, and wide-brim hats. I'd like to integrate some her style signatures into my warm weather wardrobe starting with this Double J off-the shoulder dress (similar to above), this Realisation ruffle blouse (pictured below), this statement-making Lisa Marie Fernandez swim suit (last pic; I bought this less expensive version, and I also like this slightly more subtle one), these punchy yellow Stuart Weitzman slides (third pic down), these high-waist Re/Done jeans, this structured basket tote bag by Indego Africa, this crochet-trimmed Anna Kosturova kimono, and this super chic sun-shielding Carlson hat.

I did a fun shoot with uber cool NYC-based clothing line La Ligne a few weeks ago and thought I'd share the results: playful pics, a quick Q&A (in which I reveal surprising personal secrets!) and the lowdown on my sparkly, party-ready outfit, above. Check it all out here. P.S. I'm currently craving La Ligne's stripe-accented camo jacket and day-to-night statement dress.

A bounty of amazing, I-can't-believe-it's H&M clothing just debuted today--and, I'm telling you, it's all worth checking out! For starters, there's the Conscious Exclusive collection, which is creatively rendered from organic and recycled materials. My favorite pieces include this silk romantic dress, above, this glittery jacquard weave mini skirt, this floaty, delicate blouse, and this gorgeously textured strapless dress. Additional inexpensive greatness: this hot pink tiered dress, this lace-trimmed pinstriped blouse, these easy tie-waist trousers, this print bikini, and this sexy lace bodysuit.

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 Madewell, this eyelet Kate Spade, this Marks & Spencer lace maxi, this wrap Boden, this pleated silk Rochas, this effortlessly chic Ulla Johnson, and this party-perfect Lela Rose.

On the rare occasions I wear my hair down, I usually have a black rubberband wrapped around my wrist just in case I want to put it up. So, when I discovered that a neighbor of mine recently launched a line of chic bracelets that double as hair ties, I took notice. After all, these are no ordinary hair ties; they're Cartier Love bracelet compatible! The rose gold disk, above middle, is my favorite style, and it's $18. Check out the others, featuring green onyx, rose quartz and tourmaline here.
