Editor’s Picks: Our Perfect Summer Outfits

LBD Perfection

The Key Piece

Vince Camuto Fitted Lace Dress in Black

I’m always on the hunt for the perfect LBD, and this is my summer pick. Dress it down for the office, or add heels and a bold lip for a classic evening look. Pair it with a cardigan or a leather moto jacket when it’s a little bit cooler out — the possibilities are endless!

Nine West Angellica Gladiator Sandals in Black

Nine West makes the most comfortable shoes ever — like so comfortable, I can wear them running around to events all afternoon in the city without so much as a blister — and these are no exception. I like pairing a cutout bootie with the structured classic dress for a more modern feel.

Lili Radu x Face Stockholm Makeup Wallet in Taupe/Orange

This makeup wallet is my must-have accessory for the summer. It has handcrafted pockets for your cell phone, credit cards and cash as well as lipstick, makeup brushes and a powder or blush compact. Plus it comes in bright summer shades with a matching nail polish.

Ray Ban Original Wayfarer Classic

They looked good when Audrey Hepburn wore them in the 60s, and they look good now when Taylor Swift wears them. I’ve had the same pair for probably five years now, and I wear them fall through summer. You can even get them in bright colors now if you want to change them up a bit.

Make Up For Ever HD Microfinish Powder

I have really oily skin, so summertime in NY is a melty nightmare for me. I carry this around and, after using makeup blotting paper, I dust this all over for a mattified look.

Fudge Urban Sea Salt Spray

You can spritz this on wet hair and dry with a diffuser for tousled waves if you have curly hair, or run a curling wand through second day hair like I do, and finish with this for the perfect beach-y waves.

MAC Lipstick in Flamingo

The perfect pink-y coral color that works for day and night in a creamy smooth formula.
