I’m always looking for white dresses for summer and this was the perfect one this year. I found it on sale at Saks Fifth Avenue and there are still a few left. The fit is true to size and the silhouette is very versatile. Click below to shop this and other white dresses—plus my favorite sandals and mini handbags.

I use this mini red Saint Laurent all the time. I bought it using a promo for 25 percent off at Net-A-Porter. TIP: Net-A-Porter runs this promo every year before their winter and spring sales and it often includes items that rarely go on sale. I have found that prices simply go back up for most of these items rather than be included in the sale. See some of my current favorites for mini bags in the shopping links as well. The shoes are Valentino. I found them on sale a few years ago on Moda Operandi. Check out the shopping links for other great sandals, all on sale, to wear with white summer dresses.

This shoot took place at Parson’s Chicken & Fish, a super popular place in Chicago’s Logan Square neighborhood for it’s amazing summer patio and this famous negroni slushies. It was a very hot day on our shoot so we had to cool down with one when it was a wrap. Cheers.
