Summer Socials: Inspiration

Summer has the ability to bring out the social butterfly in even the most misanthropic among us - the warm temperatures, ample sunshine, and extra time off from work (summer Fridays!) mean that one's social calendar is likely to be jam-packed from May to September.  Between backyard barbecues, beer garden outings, rooftop cocktails and alfresco dinners, a girl needs a wardrobe that not only makes her feel cute but also keeps her comfortable (i.e., keeps her from passing out in 95 degree heat!).  Here are some great examples of summer social dressing at its finest:

The gorgeous Sophie Buhai and Lisa Mayock of Vena Cava do the backyard BBQ in style (via Vogue.com).

Emily Schuman (Cupcakes & Cashmere) in a great outfit for summer cocktails.

Olivia Palermo - love the bright cut-out top + mini skirt + flats combo!

Simple and casual yet dressy at the same time - summer in a nutshell. :) (via The Sartorialist)

More to come!

Weekend Brunch: Inspiration

This week we pay homage to one of our favorite weekend activities: BRUNCH. It's the ultimate in weekend relaxation and one of the few situations where a slight hangover from the night before can actually be considered an accessory.  


In the following days, we'll be bringing you a series of outfits, accessories and other goodies to help you look good and feel relaxed (read: hide the brunch-food-baby about to be conceived) at your next brunch-outing. To kick the week off right, here are a few inspiring outfits sported by some other brunch loving ladies.  


Stay tuned for more throughout the week - and happy Summer everyone!

Cupcakes and Cashmere in a gorgeous and totally comfy-looking black maxi dress. 

Kirsten Dunst does brunch right in a slouchy blazer, skinny jeans, neutral heels, and over-sized shades.  Bonus: love that she appears to have swiped the yellow flower from the table as a boutonniere...

Model Lara Stone rocking the ultimate bad-girl brunch uniform - jean shorts, white t-shirt and a black leather jacket.
