Summer Dressing Conundrums Continued

As the temps rise, we’re starting to think more and more about what to wear in *this weather* (and, while we’re at it, the celebs we love so much we’d like to give thim a daytime talk show).    Are you paying enough attention to Brandi Carlile? As in, are you watching her coach her daughter on how to use a drill? See also: The Highwomen and their songs "Crowded Table" and "Redesigning Women" specifically.    Onto summer dressing! (Shoutout to our last summer dressing ep, too.) And the never-ending search for summer dresses! In an effort to replicate the glory days of an old cotton Apiece Apart Josefina dress, Claire is trying out the Flore Flore Esme dress.    For denim shorts, Claire recommends Raey’s Rivet and Tahiti styles, andErica loves Agolde’s Parker take.    Summer shoes! On the sandal front, look to Message and Emme Parsons’s folded slides. For chipped-pedicure days, Repetto, Drogheria Crivellini, Martiniano (for The Row-ish look), and Rothy’s—they do a buzzed-about Mary Jane. Your open-toe mule fuel: Reike Nen (padded cut-out and woven and fringe!), Staud Simone and Janine, and Dries Van Noten (<< sale-alert-worthy).   On a T-shirt journey? We’ve been into Buck Mason, Flore Flore, Sunray, Sunspel, and The Great.    The button-up—under-appreciated summer savior! we like Alex Mill's Double-Button Shirt,  Estella’s Gemma, Chava Studio's custom (!!) designs (and their Madewell collab), and  Citizens of Humanity’s Kayla. For some styling tips, look to Leandra Medine, Amy Smilovic, and this YouTube tutorial.   Onto accessories that help you keep your cool! MoMA Design Store has exclusive colors of fans by Nishikawa Shoroku Shoten (at it  since 1585!!!), and peppermint oil (Claire likes the De Mamiel Altitude Oil) works wonders.   As for HOT RAIN, maybe a garden clog is the answer?? Gardenheir has Italian AND French styles, and we also like the SeaVees Bodega and Birkenstock Super-Birki. Best lightweight rain jacket: Patagonia Houdini. Or should we lean into pochos, like the ones from Rainkiss, Rains, Stutterheim, and Puebco?    UM, who wants to start that umbrella company?
