Style Must: Dip Hem Dress

Do you have a dip hem dress? If not, you might consider adding it to your wardrobe. It could be the most perfectly flattering feminine silhouette of the summer. We found this floral print style at Top Shop!

Imagine going to a BBQ on a hot summer day. You've just grabbed a soda from the ice chest and you're headed back to the circle of lawn chairs where that hot new guy in your neighborhood is hanging out. A soft breeze catches the back of your dress, and for a second you look like you're in a perfume ad—all of which leads up to your eyes locking and a moment of perfect bliss.

Who knew a dress could do all that! Cute clothes and a new love interest—all because you read Fashion Club's Style Must this week. If only everything was this easy, right?!

Style Must: Tylie Malibu Woven Clutch

Tylie Malibu. Remember that. You're going to be seeing a lot of it. It's actually not a new brand. They've been around for over 10 years, but the styles are just getting better and better.

We are loving this woven envelope clutch from the Gone Tribal summer collection. Imagine all the cute clothes you could wear with this.

Owner/Designer Lisa Popp says, "By mixing amazing textiles, leathers and python prints with eclectic hardware, fringe, tassels, and classic Americana studding that has remained a signature for the brand, we are able to achieve the layers of a well traveled bag."

Keep 'em coming. Who doesn't love the look of bohemian elegance!

Style Must: Lace Tank Top

 With so many cute clothes on the market, it was a tough call this week for our Style Must. But we decided we needed to go with the pale pink lace tank top from Top Shop. We're loving it.

What can you wear it with, you ask? Shorts, maxi-skirts, mini-skirts, and jeans would look cute with it, as well as a boyfriend blazer or a delicate cardigan. The soft pink makes it perfect for fair complexions as well as sun-kissed skin.

Who can resist the all-over layered scalloped design and the bead and mini-pearl details. It's simply adorable.

Style Must: Miu Miu Lightning Bolt Earrings

What do you get when you cross Miu Miu, lightning bolts, and plexiglass together? Absolute amazingness that is a thing of beauty! Throw in some crystals and you're just speechless. I'm picturing these green and yellow Miu Miu earrings with totally cute clothes. What do you think about a white tank, boyfriend jeans, and sandals? Yeah, I thought so.

They've been marked down from $150 to $105, which still isn't exactly a steal, but it is a consideration! On the other hand, GirlPROPS has a pair of lightning bolt earrings for $7.99. You could always pretend they're Miu Mius!

Style Must: Laceless Oxfords

Hey guys, shoe shopping by any chance? The search is over. Voilà—the laceless saddle shoe, your new summer style must. It's the kind of thing that once you have them, you'll wonder how you ever lived life without them.

Great for a casual outdoor party, these adorable Sperry Top-Sider boat Oxfords are super versatile. From bermudas to skinny khakis to jeans, you can wear them with just about anything. We're pretty certain that whatever cute clothes you have, they will coordinate amazingly!

We are partial to the washed khaki and black canvas colorway, but they are available in a navy canvas and blue seersucker combo.

Style Must: Richard Nicoll Silk Crepe de Chine Dress

A pink striped printed silk crepe dress. What could be better. Oh, if you dramatically splash Linder Sterling art all over it—yeah, that'll do!

Ever since Dolce & Gabbana bought his entire 2002 graduate collection at Central Saint Martins, Richard Nicoll has been a household name (well, at least in houses inhabited by fashionistas, anyway!).

The relaxed silhouette by the London-based designer would be perfect for just about any summer event in your fashionable future.

Chalk it up to cute clothes you want. OK, cute dream clothes—let's be honest! At $915, it's a total and complete splurge. But one can dream, right?!

Style Must: Rag & Bone Cut-Off Denim Shorts

OK, seriously, if you don't have a pair of cut-off denim shorts, you have your work cut out for you! (Agreed, that was lame.) They are the hottest thing to hit summer since—well, since I don't know what. This particular pair is by Rag & Bone, and you can find them on La Garconne for $165.

The edgy line is a celeb fave, with fans including Diana Agron, Blake Lively, and Khloe Kardashian.

If you're not quite ready for the splurge, I found an awesome pair on Brandy Melville for $40. By the way, Brandy Melville has seriously cute clothes. If you haven't already discovered them, you must check them out.

 

The ultimate style must? Attending fashion college!  teehee...

 

Style Must: Shourouk Brass and Crystal Bib Necklace

Yep, I'd pretty much say we're dying over this necklace over here. Jaw dropping, falling out of my chair, heart beating wildly. And head over heels in L-O-V-E. I'm imagining soooo many outfits with this most adorable bib necklace by Paris-based designer Shourouk. Cascading brass tassels and brilliant clear and green crystals make it so unique. It's one of those necklaces you keep forever and keep in the fam for generations to come.

Just picture all the cute clothes that would be made even cuter with this outstanding statment necklace. OK, the gushing needs to end. Just sayin'...it's a style must!

Style Must: Fiorentini & Baker Boots

Forget the music, fashion is what it's all about at any respectable music fest (of course you expect Fashion Club to say something like that, right!).

Cute clothes and awesome footwear were in abundance at Coachella and SXSW. Sasquatch and Bonnaroo will most certainly be no exception.

We noticed booties are one of the hottest trends. They're perfect for trodding around at an outdoor concert. You know—mud and dirt! Plus, they go with everything—cut-off denim shorts, mini-skirts, maxi dresses, you name it. These Fiorentini & Baker boots are a style must. They would look amazing with a boho-chic lacey tunic, don't you think?
