Easy Polished Summer Dressing

Cedar Green Crepe Jersey Smocked Aurelia Dress

 

Happy July! One of the easiest ways to look great in the heat of the summer or for travel is a dress in jersey fabric. This is a perfect example. I have a very similar Norma Kamali dress I have worn to death that I have my eye on this to replace.

Easy Spring Dressing

Patch Pocket Pullover Dress in Structured Cotton Poplin in Crimson Cinders

I love dresses and wear one virtually every day. Easy one piece dressing with great accessories and you always look polished and put together.

I just ordered this dress in two colors - it's 100% cotton, has patch pockets, is machine washable, and under $90.

A Great Summer Dress and More

A Great Summer Dress

Celandine Short Sleeve Cotton Swing Dress

This is a perfect summer dress - nautical, preppy, comfortable (100% cotton), and under $100.

Another Summer Classic

Cabana Dress in Linen

 

This dress checks all my summer boxes. 100% linen, pockets, lighter colors have slip lining, machine washable, available in several colors, and on sale.

This breezy style comes with a V neckline that shows a hint of skin, a removable tie at the waist for a cinched-in effect and gathered details along the collar and cuffs. Plus, it's crafted from lightweight 100 percent linen to keep you cool all day long. This is a great vacation dress, transitioning from beach days to dinners out. And it is available in classic, petite and tall with expanded sizing.

A Summer Classic

This J.Crew staple for spring and summer is back with new colors and on a fantastic sale. This great linen dress is super comfortable and comes in wonderful colors and can be dressed up or down. Get more than one at this price. 

Poppies For Spring

Crimson Poppy Cotton Linen Portia Dress

 

I have always loved dresses with beautiful back details. "This dress has it all. Sure to turn heads wherever you go, the Crimson Poppy Cotton Linen Portia Dress is truly one of a kind. There are so many gorgeous details here that we don't know where to start! Our favorite might be the exaggerated yet elegant bow details on the back that adds a dramatic twist. With a flattering A-line silhouette that can work for every occasion and every body type, we love styling this maxi with heels and clutch for warm weather weddings and elevated events alike." And it is lined in cotton.

Pink & Green Palms

Blush Palms Leila Coverup

 

This darling dress is blush with pink and green palms - and it is on sale. Perfect for here in Florida or for your vacation this summer. A Palm Springs vibe for sure.

A Spring/Summer Classic

Mariner Cloth Dress with Gold Buttons

 

The striped T-shirt dress is such a spring and summer classic. Comfortable, preppy, nautical, great for travel, all cotton, machine washable, iconic, this dress has it all. "We took our customer-favorite mariner cloth (a lightweight-but-durable cotton fabric that feels like your favorite rugby) and dressed it up, literally. This version comes with gold button details at the shoulders and patch pockets for a touch of heritage inspiration." And wait until you see the price.

The Shift Dress

The shift dress is such a classic style and so perfect for warm weather dressing. It has been a staple in the wardrobe of well dressed women for decades.

Easy Dressing

Bungalow Maxi Popover Dress in Black Dot Linen

 

I posted last week on the J.Crew Bungalow Linen Popover dress in the short version that I love. It is also available in this maxi version. I am crazy about maxi dresses. They are such a classic - they became popular in the 1970s and have become a staple in women's wardrobes. They are versatile, flattering, comfortable, and can be dressed up or down.

Spring/Summer Staple

Bungalow Linen Popover Dress

I am a huge fan of J.Crew's linen. It is machine washable and incredibly comfortable. This spring-ready style comes with a deeper V-neck that's perfect for layering, a classic pointed collar and a swingy shift silhouette that's as comfortable as it versatile. Plus, it's crafted from breezy, lightweight 100 percent linen fabric that's guaranteed to keep you looking and feeling cool.

Fabulous Feather Dress

Vibrant Palm Feather Jamie Dress

 

If you are in need of a truly sensational dress for this summer, this is it. I would wear this to an outdoor wedding, an opening of the opera, ballet, or symphony, a fancy cocktail or dinner party, any celebratory event.

Blue and White @ CCC

CCC

 

I use lots of blue and white at CCC and have several rooms that are all blue and white. But I am not a big fan of houses that are entirely blue and white - I think it gets a little redundant. And I love pink and coral and green so much and they work so well in Florida. But I do have some blue and white in every room, especially blue and white Chinese porcelain. This space above, originally designed as the dining room, is a favorite of mine and the blue and white zebra skirted table is a new addition. 

A Great Dress for Valentine's Day

Red Finley Flutter Sleeve Dress

 

Red is such a happy color - it is bold, dramatic, powerful, and very flattering. If you are looking to add a red piece to your wardrobe for Valentine's Day and beyond, here is a great option.

My New Favorite Dress

Red Guipure Lace Daphne Dress

This stunning dress is one of my absolute favorite recent additions to my wardrobe. It flies out of stock and has just restocked.
