Hot Tropics

Something about a New York summer makes me bolder when it comes to prints. Here are some summer dresses for sizzling hot days and balmy nights. Pair with a tan and gold bling if you're feeling particularly Miami.

T-bags Ayra dress @ Active Endeavors, $211. Also, check out the same style done up in a Pucci-esque print @ Standard Style.
Love the ribbon chain belt it comes with, too . . .


If you need a dose of color but prints aren't your thing, try a simple style in an electric solid. Rory Beca Rizzo dress @ Active Endeavors, $235. You can also find more from Rory Beca @ Shopbop. The Elsie dress comes in punchy colors.

Tucker seersucker boat neck dress, $326 @ Shopbop. Elegant but hardly ordinary.

For a little more fun, light up the evening in this Diane Von Furstenburg number. Seymour mini dress, $345 @ Shopbop.
