When it comes to an every look in the spring and summer I love to throw on a casual dress. A dress that can be worn not only to run around town in but also go out to brunch or dinner with friends. Something that will take you from day to night, because summer is all about the unexpected plans.

This white midi dress from Mara Hoffman is one that I can throw on and know that I still look put together. It’s perfect for a warm spring day or a cool summer night. It’s perfect for city living, then turn around and take it on your  tropical vacation. What I love about this dress is how comfortable and non-restrictive it is. At first glance it seems baggy and overwhelming with material, but truly it does not feel that way when you wear it. With the white coloring and simplistic style, this is on you will wear for years.

Since Sézane opened their L’ Appartement a few years ago I have become obsessed with the French brand. With a little part of Paris in New York, Sézane has brought collection after collection of chic, casual, and elevated French style to the concrete jungle. As you browse through the store you will find classically cut silhouettes and feminine fabrics, giving the perfectly effortless French style. Going to the L’Appartement is, in itself, an experience with a tiny cafe, home decor, and a photo booth.

When it comes to party dresses I usually lean towards the class fit and flare silhouette with a feminine design. What you need in your closet is a classic dress, one that you can always turn to for multiple occasions.

Kate Spade has a way of taking something ordinary and adding a volume of drama to it. They create this drama with detailing, whether intricate or straightforward. This floral devore dress I instantly loved because of all of the detailing with the puffy sleeves, floral pattern, twist-knotted waist, and a just enough skirt to twirl around in.  Yet it seems subtle when you look at it, none of the dramatic detailing stands out. It seamlessly goes together.
