Speaking of great summer tees, I'm all about sporting the iconic but currently-all-the-rage polo shirt. They look fresh and cool when teamed with more dressed-up pieces, whether it's a statement skirt or a sleek pair of pants. Rendered in a sophisticated pique material, like the Toteme one in the last pic, below, they look decidedly elegant--i.e., can do wonders for a basic pair of shorts. I'm loving these versions by J.Crew, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Acne Studios (50% off), Tibi (40% off), Vince, Topshop, and Theory (50% off).

In case you haven't noticed, the one-piece swimsuits this season are looking pretty sexy. They're cut to flatter and reveal more skin (but not too much more!) and yet they remain practical as always when you are in active mode--i.e. less likely to fly off in a water-tubing wipeout (as my bikini bottoms did last summer)! It's all a matter of finding the most complimentary suit and... I have! Several, in fact, including this Tory Burch (which I brought to Mexico!), this J.Crew, this Asos, this Lisa Marie Fernandez, this Acacia, and this Mara Hoffman.

Relaxed jeans, sun-kissed skin and a pair of espadrilles might just be summer at its best. This season, I'm liking the lace-up kind as it looks fresh and different, plus it's a chic alternative to the ubiquitous gladiator. Compelling possibilities include these striped Soludos, above, (but I also like the solid version), along with these by Valentino, Rebecca Minkoff, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Dune, Raye, and OAS.

An old but easy-to-throw-on Lanvin blouse gave me the motivation I needed to go to a Monday night dinner party. (You can check out pics from the party here.) This bell sleeved blouse would provide similar incentive--and then some!

Stella McCartney's Resort 2016 collection, presented yesterday in New York, amounts to a strong (and persuasive!) indicator that hemlines are trending longer. Not only were the models, above, showcasing striking floor-grazing statements, but so were (prescient) street style stars, like Miroslava Duma, below, in a current season Stella (on sale here). Designers including Proenza Schouler, The Row and Victoria Bekham also concentrated on below-the-knee hemlines in their resort collections. With all signs pointing to the long dress, I rounded up my favorite currents. They include this Chloe (30% off), this Stella McCartney (40% off), this Tibi (40% off), this Thakoon Addition, this Asos and this French Connection.
