As much as I love dresses, the comfort of pants is indisputable… During hot summer days, long, loose pants can be versatile and comfortable… I prefer to wear them with a cotton t-shirt and open sandals… However, they look super chic regardless what you pair them with…
Below, a selection of chic summer pastel color pants….
If you have visited this blog before, then you should be familiar with my obsession with stripes. I’ve been professing my love and constant use of stripes for years now so I’m always looking for ways to incorporate stripes into my wardrobe. As if I don’t have enough of them… Nothing represents long summer days better than stripes… Certainly most people have one of two pieces with this classic pattern in their closets but there are so many different ways to wear stripes now a days… from long ruffled skirts to classic tunic to simple espadrilles…
Thankfully it’s time to take out our denims, espadrilles and ruffle tops because summer and all its glory is here. It culturally starts this weekend with the celebration of Labor Day although officially a bit later. As the Sun sets later and the Rosé is ready for happy hour, the nail polishes get lighter in beautiful pastel colors. From Guerlain’s light purple-tone nail lacquer base, for those looking for a very subtle touch of color to Yves Saint Laurent ‘s
bright yellow for those more unique and adventurous.

Lately dresses and tops are all about soft layers of classic romantic ruffles. I remember when growing up my mother used to dress my sister and me the same and ruffle skirt dresses were usually the norm. Now, although this season’s dress is casual and playful, the Ruffle Dress, is in no way like the ones I used to wear as a kid. Coming in versions of off shoulders or cold shoulder, asymmetrical skirts in soft fabric, plain or flowery, they are ideal for day city walking as well as for evenings.
There is no better season for suede shoes than Spring. The perfect weather makes you feel free of regrets with no snow or rain to ruin them. Stilettos are the type of shoes that can be worn formal and informal and still look classic and feminine. I’m especially obsessed with the v-cut stilettos, like the pink ones on the top right with the right amount of height. Mix up the beautiful colors of Spring with suede and you have a win-win shoe situation.

Styling a home bar for a gracious entertaining is as important as the result of the cocktails you create. As I’m sure most people know, there are two types of home bar. Wet bar is a planned built-in station with sink for quickly washing glasses and fresh ingredients. A wet bar also provides the necessary water pipes for what I believe is the king of cocktail mixing; an ice maker. Whichever home bar you decide to have here are these stylish home bar ideas and how to style a home bar.
A Dry bar however is a lot simpler and easier to set up and style. It can easily be arranged in many different ways and areas of the home. It can be as easy as setting up a tray on top of a sideboard and use the drawers of the sideboard for storing glasses and home bar tools. As you can see in the image above the sideboard which belongs to Aerin Lauder, works as a perfect surface for displaying a few drinks and glasses.
