Knitted Stud Shoulder Cardigan
Ever since Balmain declared the resurgence of the Strong Shoulder, we’ve been pining after pieces with inventive shoulder detailing. The black fall/winter version of this cardigan (dubbed the “Michael Jackson” cardigan) has been in heavy wardrobe rotation - so we’re pleased to see a seasonally appropriate one in a cool, fresh mint color.
$80 at Topshop.

Moonlight Sonata Chiffon Dress
Although we love indulging our feminine side with ruffles, this particular style detail has the potential to transport us back to childhood. This Moonlight Sonata dress eschews this issue, thanks to a sophisticated cut and chic navy blue color. We love its blend of youthful elegance - especially when paired with bright heels and an envelope clutch.

Rose Collar Trench Coat
Just because it’s summer doesn’t mean that you don’t need to maintain your coat wardrobe. Switch out your Spring rain slicker and splurge on this sophisticated belted trench. What do we love about it? The perfectly on trend neutral color, the waist-defining self belt, and the gorgeous ruffled detailing on the “rose” collar.
$145 at Topshop.

Matiko Filgree Sandal
Rock this summer with a sandal that can make a statement. We love the bold silhouette of this sandal - and the pop color lining as an added bonus.

Lemon Drop Sailor Dress
A dash of yellow brings out the life in neutral colors. True to form, the mustard yellow on this sailor-inspired sundress perks up the brown undertones of this look. Complete the look with a pair of brown heels and a petite side slung purse.

With all of the summer sundresses we’re collecting, we’re feeling the need for some sundress-worthy shoes. The beauty of these heels is that their neutral color goes with just about everything. Plus, don’t you adore the perforated design details?

Beaded Applique Headwrap
Gossip Girl’s Blair Waldorf heralded the return of the headband, but you don’t have to be a Park Avenue Princess to wear one. We love the bohemian feel of this beaded applique headwrap - which looks just as lovely for day as it does for evening.
$24 at Urban Outfitters.
