There are so many books on my list to read this summer. This is the latest.
More summer dresses (and what to wear under them!)
Wimbledon is one of my favorite events of the year. I love to see what attendees are wearing on and off of the court.
Lately it has been either too hot to go outside, or raining. If we do ever get to sit on a lounge chair again, a reference guide for post sun-care.
Cute sandals!

The Styles desk at the New York Times recently posed the question, What is a Sundress? As my go-to uniform for Summer, I have some thoughts. Most importantly it needs to be made of a natural fiber, cotton or linen. Something that could ideally go in the washing machine, though some linings prevent this. The shape is usually tighter on top with a fuller skirt. Thought being, if one is wearing this is the sun you want something breathable, not something that is going to stick to you. I don't tend to think of a sundress as having much of a sleeve, the ones above all have spaghetti straps, but a cap sleeve works. For me a sundress is simple, no overbearing ruffles, obscure cut-outs, or unnecessary quirks. It enhances the wearers beauty - which is what every piece of clothing should do.
Honorable mention sundresses: this, this and this.

Truer words have never been spoken.
Keeping whites white is a challenge every Summer.
Always think I could be more organized.
Fun fact: I love sunscreen.
I tried this hat on in Montauk, and am still thinking about it.
