Favorite part about summer? Summer whites. I love me a white dress for summer… or spring. Oddly enough, it’s a lot easier to make a statement with than black, and unlike black, it’s perfectly acceptable to mix up your whites, it adds depth and makes it easier to carry pieces from season to season.
H&M launches their ec0-friendly Conscious Collection, April 14th. This collection is made from materials like recycled polyester, plastics (the video mentions the lace being made from plastic bottles), and organic cottons. I had the opportunity to get in a sneak peek a the collection to get a good idea about what pieces are must haves for the summer, or at least great pieces to finish out your wardrobe with fun pieces.
This maxi dress has the most intricate lace detailing on the top, while my figure isn’t conducive to wearing empire waist dresses, I completely fell in love with the silhouette. Perfect for an urban flower child!
Two words: crocheted shorts. I saw a pair of crocheted scalloped shorts at J Crew, love. But wasn’t sure if I was ready to shell out $125 for them. These are a much more affordable price point for experimenting, and they are so pretty!
Eyelet shorts, these are essential, and eyelets never go out of style. I love how feminine they are.
These scallop shorts need a steam, but I see a lot of potential here, especially for New York summers. They are so delicate looking, and love how they give the appearance of silk, but if you drop salad dressing on them, it won’t be a major drama (ask me about my salad dressing and silk dramas).
Envelope clutches are certainly on my list for this year!
Bracelets and cuffs too. The more the merrier!
I can totally see Love Maegan wearing these!
Anyway, if you’d like to know more about the Conscious Collection.. have a look at the video:

Loving these pieces and the colors. The shorts are adorable, my pick is the scallop cut. I agree, the envelope clutch is a must and on my list as well.
The weather in NYC today combined with this post have inspired me to shop for summer:)

Strangely, only the one-shouldered dress and the bracelets really catch my fancy. The eyelet shorts are cute but they scare the crap out of me - what happens if I accidentally snag an eyelet and keep walking?
