MAÉST Lilies Silk Satin Kaftan

Have you ever seen a more regal piece? Neither have we! Whether you’re partying poolside or at a fabulous evening gala later this summer, a kaftan is always a show stopping number, especially in a bold and colorful print. This one by designer MAÉST is no short of stunning. It’s handmade and designed in Germany with 100% silk-satin. What’s even more special is the story behind the brand, founded by two sisters earlier this year with roots in Prague, Czech Republic and Munich, Germany. Creative director Marketa Schroll weaves together influences from folklore of the region, as well as color palettes and motifs from the Art Nouveau era. Each MAÉST piece is handmade with premium materials, like silk, jacquard, and cotton, and even handmade embroidery. They are made with extreme care and in super limited quantities, so each garment is truly a work of wearable art. The brand also makes gorgeous dresses, trousers, blouses, scarves, and other accessories, providing luxury at a variety of price points. If you love feminine and stylish silhouettes worthy of royalty, this is the emerging premium designer brand for you.

Maison Scotch Silk Stripe Shirt

Maison Scotch Silk Stripe Shirt

When it comes to fashion for women, few things provide finer polish than a gorgeous blouse. This silk blouse by Maison Scotch is just that! Topped with ornate beaded epaulettes, this coral and white striped shirt is the piece to dress up plain denim and your favorite flats. This top can likewise pair perfectly with slacks or khakis for a more business casual look. More subdued masculine elements like the granddad collar, breast pocket, and buttons give it a more relaxed vibe, even though the top is made of silk. Coral and white is one of my favorite color combos for the warmer months so this is a top I could live in all summer long. Would look absolutely lovely worn with turquoise accessories or nails!

Whenever asked the question “if you could wear one designer and one designer only, who would it be?” I always answer Alexander Wang, without a doubt. Whether it’s his signature line, or the more casual T by Alexander Wang, everything is just so me. Practical fabrics, colors easy on the eyes, and smart cuts, it’s just city chic all around. Take this T by Alexander Wang simple relaxed tee as a perfect example. In a linen silk blend, this tee comes in a vibrant cayenne shade that can either be the focal point or supporting role in an outfit.  Perfect with your boyfriend jeans and sunnies for a weekend brunch, or great tucked into a maxi and paired with a fedora for a trip to the farmers market.  This piece is so versatile and cozy, you really don’t even have to think hard of what to pair it with.

Diane von Furstenberg Laramie Maxi Dress

Diane von Furstenberg Laramie Maxi Dress

This DVF maxi dress has been seen everywhere lately– retailer newsletters, fashion blogs, banner ads – and  there’s something telling me I just have to have it! The color and tribal print of this maxi are just so on point, as DVF always seems to nail. I must also add that I’m digging the 3/4 length sleeves which are nicely offset by a flirty slit up the side of the skirt. It’s quite refined too, made of silk and featuring a casual self-tie belt, the collar and buttons can be closed up or worn open to better suit the occasion. Oh Diane, why must you always do summer resort so well?
