Pull Off the Prairie Dress Trend With This Outfit Idea

One of the biggest (and most unexpected) trends as of late is the prairie dress. The key to pulling off the oft matronly dress is with the help of cool, edgy styling. This means completing your look with statement pieces like a pair of shoes with a whimsical heel and a bucket bag with lots of texture.

Here's a Fresh Way to Wear Your Button-Down Shirt

These street style shots of Kristina Bazan have inspired us to try wearing a button-down shirt backwards. This all-white outfit is a fresh take on a classic and makes for a cool open-back detail. Her top may have been purposely designed that way, but it's still great inspiration for summer regardless. Wear with everything from a white skirt to classic jeans.

A Stylish Summer Outfit Made Exclusively With Black-Owned Brands

Over the past week demonstrations and protests have been held in response to the senseless deaths of black people like George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. The Black community has urged the world to show support not only by protesting, donating, signing petitions, getting educated on systemic racism, and more, but by promoting and shopping black-owned businesses as well.

In solidarity I put together an outfit created exclusively with pieces from black fashion designers. This is not a one-time thing—I am committed to using my platform to feature black-owned businesses and black designers more frequently. This minimalist look is spot-on for spring and summer with a camel midi dress, black sunglasses, gold hoop earrings, a sleek black bag, and strappy mule sandals. Complete the ensemble with oil-nourished skin. Shop each piece directly from the designers' sites below.

2. Coco and Breezy Iris-101 Sunglasses
3. Mateo 14kt Yellow Gold Huggies
4. Vavvoune Mishe Bag

A peek at fashion designer Vanessa Bruno's light and bright Paris apartment. I never thought pastels could look this laid-back and cool, but with the mid-century modern details it definitely works. I'm especially loving the big windows and exposed beams!
