4 Kitschy Prints To Try This Summer

1. Romper | 2. Sleep tank and Sleep shorts | 3. Scarf | 4. Shoes

Normcore and minimalism be damned: Summer is coming, and I want a lively print or two to add personality to my closet full of basics. This season's patterns are more Florida kitsch than classic good taste and I'm loving it. Minimalist? Hardly. Whimsical, idiosyncratic, adorable? Yes, yes, and yes. Wear these 4 eye-catching motifs with neutrals, denim, chambray, and summer whites.

Day To Night Date Style

How to transition a date look from afternoon fun in the sun to an evening downtown

Happy Monday, dear readers, and for those of you who are mothers or mothers-to-be, hope you had a lovely Mother's Day yesterday! The boy and I took full advantage of the summer-like weather on Saturday and had an an all-day date. We started out with brunch and two rounds of mini golf, then ventured downtown for an early dinner (hello, happy hour oysters) and an 8pm showing of The Avengers: Age of Ultron. All in all, it was one of the best, most relaxing days we've had in a long time, but an all-day date does beg the question: What does one wear to transition from fun in the sun to a night on the town?

Dior Summer 2015 Tie Dye Collection

Diorskin Nude Tan Tie Dye Edition Blush Harmony palettes

Over the years I've seen summer limited editions come and go, many of them riffing on the same themes: bronze skin, jewel-toned eyeshadows, glossy lips with a hint of pink or coral, bright nails. So it's interesting to see Dior try something novel with theirs in terms of execution. The Dior Summer 2015 Tie Dye Collection takes its inspiration from the tie dye seen in the house's fashion collections, and it's safe to say that in Dior's sophisticated hands, tie dye is definitely more haute than hippie. Think blended shades that lend each other depth, all while bringing sun-kissed light to the face. A photo-heavy and detailed look at the entire collection after the jump!

Latest Outfit: Spring Daze & My New Dream Wardrobe (P.S. It's Not What You Think)

Casual outfit inspo: Cropped denim jacket, little white dress, crossbody bag, Keds sneakers

First off, thanks for all the words of support on this post—and via Twitter and Instagram—on our decision to postpone the wedding. I'm not gonna lie, it was a difficult choice to make. But once we decided to do it, we both felt a sense of deep relief and renewed simplicity. The past few weeks have been filled with a whole lot of nothing: going for long walks in the sunshine and getting ice cream; attending Bar Method (me) and kickboxing (him); and focusing on work, which has kept us both pretty busy. That probably explains why we've left filing our income taxes until the eleventh hour. (Oops.)

Dior Eye Reviver Backstage Pros Illuminating Neutrals Eye Palette

If you're the same breed of Lazy Girl I am, you probably don't wear eyeshadow daily because it's too much work. Most mornings, I'd rather hit the snooze alarm one more time than spend those 9 precious minutes searching for all the tools and products I need (primer, brushes, shadows) and tirelessly blending. If I need to primp for an evening out and look fancy in a hurry—well, that's what the Emergency Bold Lipstick is for. Luckily for me and Lazy Girls everywhere, a palette like the Dior Eye Reviver Backstage Pros Illuminating Neutrals Eye Palette ($63) makes the whole eyeshadow ordeal process a little less daunting.
