Some baby showers are very dressy and others can be super casual so take cues from the hostess and venue. If you know the gender of the baby, it can be fun to dress accordingly! If it’s a boy, wear blues or greens, if it’s a girl, wear pinks or purples, and if they’re keeping it a surprise, wear gender-neutral hues like yellow!

There’s nothing more fun than an afternoon catching up with girlfriends. Wear something easy, yet polished and feminine. A shirtdress is always the MVP of my summer wardrobe, and is a no-brainer for lunching in the sunshine.

We sort of skipped Spring and zoomed right into Summer temperatures here in NYC, which means that it’s time to bust out the heat-friendly staples. For me, this means versatile layering pieces that are breathable in the humidity outdoors, yet comfortable in chilly air conditioning. Exhibit A: This perfect Tommy Hilfiger linen shirt that I snagged recently at Macy’s. You know I hoard classic white shirts like nobody’s business, but this one is a particular favorite in both fit and detailing—love the pockets on the front and those metallic buttons!
I have to tell you, these ivory tapered-leg pants (incidentally, also by Tommy Hilfiger at Macy’s) are a REAL FIND. If you’ve looked for white pants before, you know it’s basically an olympic sport. They need to have the right cut (super tight white pants don’t look good on anyone), but they also NEED TO BE LINED. I’m forever mystified by all the brands that make unlined white pants that you can see right through. These beauties are PERFECT. They’re fully lined so they’re completely opaque, and that tie detail at the waist is the perfect finishing touch. You can remove it if you want to wear a belt, but I’m a big fan.
Last but not least, I think my blazer deserves a shout out because it’s another fantastic find. I absolutely love the white piping, the long cut, and the double-breasted buttons, but am completely obsessed with the fact that it’s knit. It has fantastic lines and all the polish of a chic blazer, but all the comfort of a cozy sweater. This will likely be on constant rotation during the workweek, but will also make for a piece that travels easily (knits = no wrinkles in the suitcase!) and makes for the perfect topper when temperatures drop on summer nights.
Whether you’re going on your honeymoon or headed for a romantic getaway to Paris, find a flowy maxi that’s as comfortable as it is cute. In addition to being a chic alternative to the other dresses in your closet, a breezy maxi makes it even easier to wear comfortable flat sandals for long walks by the beach or along the Seine before dinner. You’re in vacation mode so let loose and have fun!

It’s no secret that I’m an enormous long-time fan (read: obsessed fangirl) of Trunk Club. If you haven’t tried this personal styling service yet, first off, shame on you. Second, take a minute to read this post on why it will change. your. life. Whether you need general style advice or help finding the right look for an upcoming special occasion, Trunk Club’s stylists (real people who actually get to know you and your style) provide a smart, super efficient way to shop.
After fangirling over Trunk Club for the past several years, I’m ecstatic to report that we’re officially taking our relationship to the next level today, launching the exclusive Memorandum Trunk! This trunk, which was personally curated by yours truly, was created in response to perhaps my most frequently asked question—what are your top wardrobe staples for the working girl? The Memorandum Trunk provides a framework for the perfect capsule wardrobe with a targeted list of my closet must-haves.
While everyone’s tastes and body types differ, the Memorandum Trunk provides a guide to the core wardrobe pieces everyone should have in their closet this season, offering a great starting place for you and your stylist to personalize each item specifically for you. On the Memorandum Trunk’s hit list is a classic midi skirt, a chic white blouse, a timeless pair of loafers, a wear-everywhere staple blazer, and much more. These are the pieces that not only take you from workweek to weekend, but they’ll also be the wardrobe classics that never go out of style.
You can request the Memorandum Trunk by signing up here or messaging your stylist!
As I previously discussed here, Trunk Club is not a subscription service. You receive a trunk as frequently or infrequently as you like from a stylist who actually gets to know you and your individual style preferences. You can be as specific (i.e. I need help finding black pointy-toe flats under $150) or as general (i.e. I need to refresh my wardrobe for summer!) as you’d like and you get to preview your stylist’s selections before anything is sent. There’s free shipping both ways, you only pay for what you keep, and everything is returnable. Of course, if you live in Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York or Washington D.C., you can try things on with your stylist in person at Trunk Club’s Clubhouses (details on my visit to their NYC Clubhouse here).
When it comes to shopping, I’m all about efficiency and Trunk Club’s service is an absolute no-brainer. I hope the Memorandum Trunk serves as a helpful resource in making your spring and summer shopping easier and more fun. Click here to sign up and request the Memorandum Trunk now!
Bring on the sun! Summer is here and it’s time for pool parties and umbrella drinks. For your pool party outfit, go for an elevated swimsuit cover-up or a maxi dress that can be worn comfortably over your suit. Avoid anything fitted or formal so you can easily whip it off when you’re ready to jump in!
