Every fall stylish sweater roundups flood the internet. As we move closer to winter, those shopping guides are updated to include heavier knits. The same can't be true for the time between spring and summer. More than likely that's due to the fact that most people delight in the idea that knits can be packed away into closets until late September.

From Monday Swimwear to Shan, Leslie Amon, Oséree, and Azulu, I received a front-row seat to the season's best beachwear trends—ones I'll be wearing on repeat. Ahead, find summer sequins meant for sundowner cocktails, oversized beach bags, and more.

Once upon a time there was a trendy store in Paris called Colette. Founded in 1997, it became a must-see destination for anyone living in or visiting the City of Light. For fashion-minded folk, it ranked right up there with the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre since its personality-packed selection full of chic clothing and accessories was something to behold. Sadly, this fairy tale doesn't have a happy ending since Colette closed its doors in 2017.
