The fashion crew has moved on from London to Milan for the next round of runway shows--and taken fall's romantic dresses with them. Signatures include exuberant florals, saturated hues and exaggerated sleeves, and the cumulative result is swoon-worthy.Take for example, the unabashedly pink puff piece, above, by or this (way) less expensive . Also these by , (last pic), , , , , and

Cute now with my still-tan legs and later with tights and boots!

The may be a viral hit, but I'm sold on its sidekick instead, the better quality (linen/cotton), tassel-trimmed (and tucked-in top)!

Just think: you'll be so prepared and on point come fall's first chill. (Size down for a sleeker fit and consider subbing in a leather belt instead.)

Another glorious summer day, another gorgeous dress!

I'm digging the way this dress reads vintage with a whiff of Gucci. And it's $38!

My weekend kicked off with a stylish start at 's lunch, celebrating the launch of (new cleanly formulated skincare that's gonna help me get better with age!), and dressing up with other beauties. I whipped out a recently-purchased frock, which solicited the kind of gushing compliments that would send me straight back to the source to mine for more.

It's no secret that I own lots (and lots) of dresses, but the ones I love most are the ones that cost me the least. One of them is a two-year-old H&M dress, above, which I like to wear as a bathing suit cover-up (i.e. sheer, without its slip). It racked up so many compliments in the Hamptons this past weekend, I decided dig up other under-$100 (beach-to-bar) dresses, which you can wear now and summers beyond. So far, I found this flower-print (similar to above), this paisley (and this short ), this floral , this boho , and this super cute gingham dress, below, for $73!!
