Shoppies I'm Actually Buying

What’s living rent free in my cart this week

May 21, 2026

This edition of Let’s Get Dressed is brought to you by H&M.

Happy Memorial Day weekend eve everyone! I’m off to Mexico today for the long weekend and did what I always do before a vacation: panic-hunt for a few pieces that will suddenly transform me into the best version of myself for vacation (guilty — don’t we all do this??).

My philosophy for vacation dressing has actually become pretty simple over the years. I don’t want 15 outfits and a ton of stuff. I want a few standout pieces, my usual sequin skirt and a chic sarong, mixed with staples, like a great linen pant and tons of tanks, I can wear to anything on the trip. I’m a big beach to dinner gal, and believe it or not, a carry on gal, too.

Enter: H&M Studio’s new Resort collection that was the solution to all my problems. As someone who’s on the hunt for their summer style, it really feels like the moodboard for everything I want to feel and wear this summer. Think: linen sets, sunset florals, beach stripes, cotton dresses, and little embroidered details that feel like something you’d find in a vintage market in the South of France.

The standout for me was the white embroidered dress with this stunning handkerchief hem. Summer brides, take notes. But I could also see it on the beach or perfectly styled for a summer event.

My favorite dress from H&M’s latest collection

I actually got to stop by and see the collection in person this week, and what I loved most was seeing the references and moodboards. The collection felt incredibly tactile and the right amount of summer nostalgia — handwritten notes, fabric swatches pinned together, these imperfect sunflower sketches and jewelry prototypes. I love when fashion can teleport us to another place.

I also wore this short and blazer set from the new collection that someone stopped me on the street and said “That’s H&M!?!?!!” when I told them where it was from. And the earrings are just so fun.
