The beach has always been my happy place — somewhere I can slow down, reconnect with friends and family, and escape the craziness of the city. That's what inspired the Beach-to-Bistro Collection: Alongside Walker & Wade — and my long-time friends Laurette and Molly — we designed a collection of fun summer dresses and separates that are perfect for lunch by the pool, a day at the beach, dining al fresco at a cafe, or entertaining at home. These are the pieces I'll be reaching for all summer long.
