ALTUZARRA

Women tend to hold power with an open hand rather than a tight fist.  They welcome diverse viewpoints and value the creative solutions achieved from collaboration.  They’re skilled at making smart, insightful decisions.  They don’t rely on sports analogies to describe their strategy because it isn’t always about winning.  Sometimes, it just comes down to having the courage to do what’s best for everyone.

A rich red hue makes a stand-out statement in this impeccably tailored two-button blazer styled with strong shoulders and a sharply nipped-in waist.

ba&sh

Best friends often have a steadfast bond that makes them feel like they can accomplish anything. They think alike.  Conversation flows effortlessly between them. They finish each other’s sentences and share secrets.  As business partners, they inspire each other with blue-sky ideas like:  “What if we design a victorian blouse with delicate ruffles on the collar—in black leather?”

Make the scene in this frill-finished dress done in the season's wildly popular print.

Chloé Charisma

Chloé charisma is magnetic.  The brand exudes a confident allure that is desired by women who value their independence.  While Chloé leans toward sophisticated silhouettes, See By Chloé has a more jaunty style to match her social finesse and lofty aspirations.  The family resemblance is evident in the way See By Chloé emulates her big sister’s irrepressible charm.

An abundance of gleaming snaps gives this tailored wool-blend jacket a military-inspired vibe.

A Streak of Independence

Summer shorts have a rather sassy attitude this year.  It’s like they’re daring you to step out of bounds just for the sake of disrupting the status quo.  Reformation puts the emphasis on rebellion with their “you’re not the boss of me” ripped cutoffs.  Sporty styles, like Tibi’s shimmering track shorts, have undergone glamorous makeovers.  If you’re looking for a chic alternative to a miniskirt, then you’ll love how Alice + Olivia dressed up flared shorts to flatter sun-tanned legs.

Vintage-inspired cutoff shorts cut from nonstretch denim feature a super-high waist that you can also wear low and slouchy.

Mind-Body Poetry

Outdoor yoga flows more freely in the summer.  After a vigorous trail run, your vinyasa feels more powerful--as if your inner warrior likes standing on rubber soles rather than a rubber mat.  There’s a natural rhythm to your breath that guides you from one pose to the next—perhaps it’s all the fresh air that gives rise to your confidence.  Beneath a brilliant blue sky, the cadence of salutations fluctuates between surges of energy from the warm sun and moments of calm from cool, westerly breezes.

Sunny, bright colors liven up a tropical-print tee made from soft French terry with a cute knot at the front hem.
