When we first heard that crop tops (and more specifically, bralets) were going to be big for 2012, we had our reservations — it seemed like a look best suited for outdoor music festivals and costume parties — but after seeing the midriff-baring look on the runways at Dolce & Gabbana, Nina Ricci, Prada, and others, we inevitably changed our tune, and are officially smitten with the idea Read more

With a nod to both sportier and sexier sensibilities, the runways from Phillip Lim, Rag & Bone, Proenza Schouler, and more showcased flashes of skin with their racerback silhouettes. Our love for the back-baring cut is twofold: the heat demands a little less coverage, and these fits deliver in the coolest way possible. Now we've curated a collection of 20 favorites — dresses that feel as Read more

You probably don't need us to tell you that a white t-shirt is a closet essential. But if this basic is best being used as your workout tee or as the go-to on a lazy Sunday, you might need us to stage a little wardrobe resuscitation. The fact is your white tee may just be the most overlooked item in your closet with the most potential for outfit versatility. To prove it, we put it to the task and Read more

If you thought you couldn't dress up a simple sweatshirt, think again: it's incredibly easy to do — plus, it's an insanely chic, effortless look that gives off a nonchalant "oh, this? I'm just keeping it super casual tonight" vibe. You'll look like you don't really care, but care just enough to make a statement (which is always the goal, right?). To help you out, we've put together five Read more

The importance of a good t-shirt is pretty much a no-brainer, but we still happen to find ourselves getting flustered with the prospect of finding a new one — we all have that ratty logo tee that we refuse to get rid of because of how perfectly it fits (regardless of the fact that it's discolored and riddled with holes, and the company doesn't even make it anymore). Face it: coming across the Read more

Yes, we happen to be craving lots of cool new pieces for the coming season, but one of the things we're most excited to wear for Spring are floaty, feminine silk blouses — and that goes double for those of the printed variety. From small-scale polka dots and leopard print to full-stop florals and bold tribal patterns, we're more than ready to jump on the printed-top train for Spring. Want to Read more

In anticipation of warmer weather to come, we're beginning to replace our heavy Winter-wear with a refreshing batch of bright prints and lighter hues. That said, one of our biggest swaps is trading out our black blazer for a white one. Designers like Stella McCartney and Phillip Lim showed them on their Spring runways and we can't wait to get on board with the trend. Yes, it might be a little Read more

It may have something to do with Michelle Williams's ladylike award-season looks or Jason Wu's adorable offerings for Target, but we've got pretty pieces, like sweet Peter Pan collars, on the brain. It's not just how darling they make us feel; admittedly, they're one of the easiest ways to freshen up our look in a flash. Swap out your tired tees and top any pair of denim, a favorite skirt, or Read more
