Our feelings about Beyonce’s post-baby body in this navy dress aside, we can’t get enough of this summer-friendly neutral this season. For nights out, we love navy as the backdrop to an electric print ala Nicole Richie. Come your nine to five, we love this vince silk henley and think it would be as perfect with equally neutral (think white or black) trousers as it would with mustard yellow and hot pink. Accessorize with matching wrist candy or Essie’s Midnight Cami polish. Finally, feel free to call off the search for your perfect beach tote, because we’ve found the one. Tory Burch’s dipped canvas bag (which comes in a variety of colors, but navy is obviously our fave) will stylishly hold your towel and a steamy novel for long days soaking in the sun.

You know we love when we come across a trend that’s just as worthy in the workplace as it is on the weekend. Part Greek goddess and part 50′s housewife, pleats evoke the perfect mix of sophistication and sexy (hello sheer!). We’re loving them in everything from etheral, brightly-colored sundresses and maxis to more sophisticated knee length, high-waisted skirts. Pair yours with something flowy (ala Kate Bosworth) or fitted on top and opt for polished pumps or sandals. You heard us right-there’s no way to mess up this hot trend!

It’s another sunny day in Portland and we’ve spent the first 30 minutes of our morning trying to conjure up a legit excuse to get outta here. (stomach bug?!) On the bright side, being stuck indoors for the next, ahem, 8 hours, gives us plenty of time to plan perfect summer time looks for the weekend ahead. Take a cue from the gorgeous gals below and add a pop of color to an otherwise neutral ensemble (turquoise or pink maybe??), twist your hair up in an effortless braid, or reach for something trendy and tropical. TGIF ladies!

We understand that her supermodel good looks, hunky Hollywood hubby and adorable baby Flynn might make you more jealous than the time your best friend made-out with your prom date, but if you ask us, we can’t get enough of Mrs. Bloom’s sophisticated (read: work-worthy) and always on-trend ensembles. Whether she’s color-blocking or monochroming, we find ourselves in a constant state of awe. To get her look in the office, stock up on well-tailored blazers of every shade, pair with classic slacks in same and contrasting tones, and voila, instant chic. After hours we love Miranda’s down-to-earth look. Try a funky pair of leggings with a classic Fedora or wildly printed denim and a feminine cropped jacket for an easy-breazy style, perfect for running errands or a casual dinner for two.

This Mother’s Day, whether you’re celebrating your fabulous mommy-self or brunching in honor of the lovely ladies in your life, one thing’s for sure-you’ll want to look pretty and polished. Mom-we’d-like-to, uh, know, Miranda Kerr looks perfect in pops of red, yellow & green. Hesitant to go all out? A white blazer and nautical tee soften her bold look. Game to skip the skirt look this year? Reach for a bold pair of shorts ala Rashida Jones. Pair with a floral top and nude heels for a look that’s mom-approved and the perfect go-to for a daytime date…hey, we’re just sayin’! If pops of color have you channelling Rainbow Bright, make like Minka in a white hot ensemble. We are absolutely loving her simple, sexy look. Now thank whoever’s to owe for your exquisite taste and raise a glass to all the ladies you love!

This weekend marks the 138th running of the Kentucky Derby, and we for two have big, BIG plans. Sure, we’re excited for lawn games, mint juleps and the potential to hit the jackpot betting on our favorite horse, but as we’re sure you’ve probably guessed, we’re most excited about what we’ll be wearing. The Kentucky Derby presents an amazing opportunity to wear sleek, flirty and feminine dresses (or rompers!), and, perhaps most importantly, headgear that would make even Princess Kate swoon. So, whether you’re jetting off to the Bluegrass State or, like us, having a swanky soiree in the comfort of your own home, you’ll need to be decked to the nines. Here are our picks for the most Derby worthy looks.

We love it in cocktails, ice cream, it’s even our favorite flavor girl scout cookie, but these days the term minty fresh has nothing to do with food or beverage. Pastel being the color trend of the season, it comes as no surprise that Mint Green is the hottest hue of the moment. Making its presense known for a few months now, mint has been seen everywhere from fingernails to denim and everywhere in between. The color looks great monochrome style, paired with kelly green and even pastel blue. If you’re in the market for a bold pairing, try mint and fuscia for colorblocking perfection. Make all of your coworkers {mint} green with envy with a mint shift and neutral cardigan for an office-friendly look. Come the weekend, we love mint-colored denim and our go-to chambray oxford, creating the perfect outfit for a day wandering around the farmer’s market.

We’ll admit, we considered posting a Beauty Report on how to fake perfectly bronzed skin on this dreary Tuesday, but if you’re anywhere near the Northeast, you’ll understand how ridiculous that would have been. While we certainly plan on sharing our favorite tips and tricks for a faux glow at some point soon, this morning, we’re focused on looking our best in torential and what seems like, never-ending rainfall. Our resolution? Taking cues from style icons like Diane, Pippa and Rachel, of course! Look to your favorite rain boots (of course, we’re huge fans of the cult favorite, Hunters), an adorable topper and a cheery scarf to get you through the down pour. Still feeling blue? This strawberry and mango umbrella is sure to keep the rain far from your parade!
