white

Even if you aren't the romantic type when it comes to wedding gowns, chances are you've swooned at the sight of a Vera Wang gown. They are impossibly beautiful, and for many, impossibly expensive. If you are one of the many, you are seriously in luck. On Feb. 11, Vera Wang and David's Bridal will launch White, a collection of Vera-designed dresses that range from $600-$1,400. We got to see the dresses up close and personal today, and what struck us was the quality and detail. Everything we love about Vera Wang is in these dresses! Check out the collection here, but be prepared to get butterflies.

Labor Day is just around the corner. So before the long weekend arrives and the word white becomes taboo, I thought I'd round up some white hot home décor and furniture items for you to snatch up. Of course, you can use your white Moroccan pouf year-round . . . so long as you're not sitting on it in white denim in the dead of Winter. Keep clicking for the latest edition of Etsy Finds!

Quick! While Summer is still in sight, get yourself a crisp white skirt to frolic in the fields and on the streets. Whether you're into minis, maxis, boho styles, or chic twists, there's an adorable white skirt waiting to be worn by you. I envision these skirts looking especially divine with a cool denim shirt, earthy tan sandals or oxfords, and gorgeous gold bling. Then when Fall rolls around, make the look last by pairing your skirt with gray wool tights and booties.

This weekend, San Francisco Chronicle design writer Jennie Nunn observed that designers are declaring white the new black when it comes to home décor. I don't know if I've been unduly influenced by Nunn's article, or if I've just been coveting Roger Sterling's new office, but I've been seeing white wherever I go. So, I headed to Etsy to see what all-white finds I could discover on the site.

The following is a guest post written by Rachel Zoe, stylist, fashion designer, and creator of The Zoe Report. This week Rachel shows us her blanco fashion selections.

During the Fall, everything and everyone in the fashion world tends to steer in a darker direction, so naturally, the inclination for Summer is the total opposite: bright and light! A striking white piece or two — be it clothing or an accessory — will give an instant lift to any outfit. Think: a white denim jacket, bleached-out shorts or even some ivory nail polish . . .beyond chic. Read on for the whiteout picks that I am currently coveting and incorporate them into your Summer looks for a vibe that is just as stylish as your all-black ensembles . . . but less expected. Lastly, please don't be afraid to rock your pale pieces throughout the colder months too — not wearing white after Labor Day is so passé. xoRZ
