Soft pallets, playful patterns and the ability to mix and match are all characteristics I look for when shopping for warmer weather items or pieces for vacation. As I am officially someone in their late twenties (eek), investing in quality pieces that will last is increasingly  more important to me. REISS is a brand that I have been wearing for a few years now, and each piece I own gets use year after year. What I love about the brand is that they carry items that are really versatile and easy to swap in and out of different outfits, or dress up or down.

Recently, I was fortunate enough to team up with REISS and create an “edit” with my top ten favorite pieces for summer.  It was truly so hard to make the selections for the edit – the collection is so good. Ultimately, I had to go with this  printed maxi dress and pleated maxi skirt, both styled below. These looks, with their soft colors and flowy fabrics truly embodied what makes summer fashion so fun.  You can see all of my choices below OR, even better, come see all my choices  in person (and me!) at Reiss this Wednesday.

I’ll  be at the REISS store located on 387 W. Broadway in NYC tomorrow  (5/11) to kick things off with a fun event to celebrate the start of summer: A Journey Into Summer. It will take place from 4pm-close (I will be there 5:30-7:30) and will entail summer styling (by me!), cocktails, music, the chance to win a luxury holiday, beauty and grooming treatments and much more! This event is happening throughout the US, so make sure to check this page out to see what is going on at the store closest to you!  I personally am so excited to meet any of you who are in the city and can stop by  and get a custom illustration at the W. Broadway location. Hope to see you there!
