Free People never fails to impress us with its effortlessly bohemian lineup of dresses, but this latest batch of ethereal white Summer sheaths are in a league of their own.

Free People never fails to impress us with its effortlessly bohemian lineup of dresses, but this latest batch of ethereal white Summer sheaths are in a league of their own. The limited edition frocks — all four of them — cater to a unique brand of easy, breezy styling sensibility. From a beaded Guinevere-style neckline to a Victorian-inspired button detail, to a gauzy eyelet-enhanced hem, it's almost impossible not to conjure up images of a beach-perfect bride or a flowers-in-my-hair type running through a field dotted with wild flowers. But for a more realistic take on these quintessential white dresses, just keep it simple. The intricate attention to details and long, flowy silhouettes allow for a minimalist approach to accessorizing. Add a metallic flat sandal or a woven espadrille wedge, and on top, accent the look with retro jewelry or a great pair of gem-encrusted drop earrings. Don't waste a moment more — click through to see Free People's beautiful limited edition Summer white dresses now.

Krysten Ritter's Asymmetrical-Neckline LBD Is Impossibly Sexy!

The Alexander McQueen dress Krysten Ritter wore to last night's True Blood season five premiere in LA was what all little black dresses should strive to be.

The Alexander McQueen dress Krysten Ritter wore to last night's True Blood season five premiere in LA was what all little black dresses should strive to be. It was equal parts sexy — hello thigh-high slit and edgy asymmetrical neckline — and demure thanks to the knee-length hemline and short sleeves. The actress completed her all-black look with Jimmy Choo black patent Loila sandals — here's the suede pair ($975) — and a Jimmy Choo clutch. If you want to achieve Krysten's red-carpet feel, you have a few options. This ASOS midi pencil dress ($70), this David Meister asymmetrical pleated dress ($228), and this BCBGMAXAZRIA asymmetrical dress ($122, originally $198) are all great. Just add a studded belt to mimic the detail on Krysten's McQueen.

Proof that power is in the details, Alexa Chung gave a ladylike Moschino shift a summery twist with just one playful add-on.

With Summer unofficially at our door, it's time to revive and refine our denim shorts lineup.


With Summer unofficially at our door, it's time to revive and refine our denim shorts lineup. If you're like us, you practically live in them on the weekend, and let's just be honest, these shorts make their way into our weekday wardrobes too (given they come paired with a great wedge sandal). Take this season's printed obsession and penchant for dip-dyed hues and brighter than bright neons, along with more classic cutoffs and boyfriend silhouettes, and you're in for some seriously eye-catching shorts. And when your denim is doing the statement making, you can take a low-key approach to styling. Throw in a slouchy white t-shirt or a crisp button-up; add an embellished pair of high-tops or slick black sandals, and long story short? You're ready to go. Click through the slideshow below for our editors' most coveted pairs of denim shorts. From pretty lavender-tinged floral designs to patchwork pockets and high-waisted versions, there's definitely a pair in there just for you.
