Cool Whites For Hot Days & Nights

When the weather gets hot, there's nothing cooler than white linen or cotton. A city person at heart, I still wear a lot of black. This last weekend I wore a crisp white shirt to dinner, and I have to say, it felt good to do so.  This edit features fresh and fabulous finds in white, at all price points.

Cotton Halter Shirt Dress

This style is so flattering, if you do sleeveless. Best yet, it is under $140 on sale.

Boston Proper

Fringed Kaftan

I have been eyeing this piece for a while now. At $125 it is affordable, and I think really fun.

One of the prettiest eyelets I have ever seen. Those sleeves!

Very chic in the most feminine way. Love the detailing!

Harbor Side Cutout Dress

I am not a huge fan of the "cut out" trend this season. But this style is tasteful, and J.Crew does cotton so well. You will love the price.

You have to love an air conditioned shoe. These feature leather uppers and a rubber sole for under $100. Sold only at

Spell Lottie Pants

For beach days and beyond. Loving the billowy wide leg adorned with eyelet embroidery!

Miranda Top

This is one great top! I own it in black and I am considering getting this white one. The top does not budge off the shoulders. The fabric is substantial and skims (not hugs) the body just right. Also in black and lilac.

Tuckernuck

High Neck Maxi

Simple with beautiful detailing. 

Shopbop 

White Seedbead Drop Earring

There is something about seedbeads that just reminds me of the beach. Pull your hair back and wear these for a cool and collected look.
