06/13/2022 Darling of the Day: Blake Lively’s #LWD Inspo for Summer!

Posted on by

When it comes to summer style, I’m always all about a breezy, comfy fit & pops of color, but a little white dress (#LWD) is always a staple to break out for a fresh day in the sun, gathering with family & friends, or a chic date night out. Case in point, actress & style icon Blake Lively attended this weekend’s Tribeca Film Festival in support of her superstar pal Taylor Swift‘s “All Too Well” short film, which apparently should not be confused with a music video. However, Blake’s classic white dress caught my eye to feature because the actress has elevated the look for evening with her always stylish eye for accessorizing, along with her charming husband, Ryan Reynolds at her side.

The featured neutrals, along with the light cotton frock offer a juxtaposition of hard & soft, as well as glitzy & effortless. Furthermore, the Christian Louboutin t-strap heels and Gucci purse are likely too costly for the average Style Darling, which is why I wanted to feature affordable & fashionable alternatives, if Blake’s look has you inspired. Here are a few white dresses, available in a variety of sizes XS-4X (while supplies last) to get you ready for your next summer night out in style, ranging in prices $24.99-$74.00:

SHOP: 1. Smocked Top Puff-Sleeve Dress @New York & Company, 2. Fit & Flare Sleeveless Cotton-Poplin Smocked-Bodice Midi Dress for Women @Old Navy, 3.

20 Stylish Reasons to Binge The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (If You Haven’t Already)!

Posted on by

I won’t even transition into it. If you haven’t seen The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel yet, you have to–you just have to! The Amazon Prime program is currently the most buzzed about comedy (having recently earned a slew of Emmy Awards this fall too), starring the dazzling  Rachel Brosnahan as the title character, Midge Maisel. Not only is she an empowering & intelligent character, she’s hysterical (as an up and coming comedienne) & oh so stylish. Much can be said about how character’s fashion choices embody the 1950s era where women were meant to stay at home rearing the children & appear flawless like trophies; however, the show’s costume designer Donna Zakowski presents a character that’s not only interesting to watch, but to look at as well–from the point of view of a fashionista. The matchy-matchiness is true to the times, but Midge’s wardrobe shines on screen because of her fit, color, (Zakowski’s masterful selection of accessories (like an elegant pearl necklace, chic pair of gloves, or bold bauble).

Click through the gallery for at least 20 stylish reasons (between seasons 1 & 2) why The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is the most fashionable & must-see show on the air right now!
