Hi love,

This week we’re serving body and boldness — from the comeback of the iconic Hervé Léger bandage dress to the tangy takeover of the pickle margarita (extra spicy rim, always). And while we’re talking classics? You can never go wrong with a crisp white top and your favorite denim — it’s the ultimate summer combo: effortless, cool, and confidently put-together.

I first fell in love with Hervé back in 2008 when Christina Aguilera graced the cover of People in baby pink, followed by Rihanna rocking the same style. Years later, I finally grabbed one (okay, a few) and wore them proudly through SF — maybe a bit too proudly for the city’s taste. Let’s just say Miami feels more like home when it comes to fashion with flair.

I’m also getting back into my quick & efficient workout groove — more on that below. But for now, let’s jump into what’s bold, beautiful, and bubbling up in style this week.

With love + style,
Anna, Your Editor & Host

This Week’s Edit: Sculpted & Spicy: Summer’s Boldest Comeback

What’s stretchy, sculpted, and instantly makes you feel like a supermodel? The legendary Hervé Léger bandage dress—equal parts body armor and body love.

Quick Fit: Herve Leger Dress at a Glance

Editor’s Take:
I’m a huge fan of the iconic Hervé Léger dress — so much so that I wore a white one to my rehearsal dinner seven years ago. It made me feel powerful, polished, and just the right amount of extra. I’ve held on to that one (plus three more!), and let’s just say… they’re about to make a comeback in my Miami rotation. Some pieces just don’t go out of style — they evolve with you.

So why the comeback now? In an era where power dressing is back and self-expression is everything, the bandage dress hits that sweet spot: structured and sensual, nostalgic and bold. It’s confidence in fabric form—and we’re here for it.

The Dirty Pickle Marg - Summer’s Boldest Sip

Looking for your new go-to summer cocktail? Meet the Ultimate Dirty Marg — a briny, citrusy, pickle-powered twist on the classic margarita. Equal parts sharp and refreshing, it’s a bold choice that deserves an equally bold outfit.

How to make:

• Rim your glass with lime + Tajín/salt combo

• Shake tequila, lime juice, brine, and agave (optional) with ice

• Strain into an ice-filled glass

• Garnish with pickle + lime

• Sip + slay

More Than Metrics with Virginia

On Episode 17 of the Podcast, together, Anna and Virginia Laird Rojo unpack what it takes to lead in this new marketing landscape, how to cut through chaos without burning out your team, and why doing more with less doesn’t mean sacrificing your standards — or your style.

👠 Key Moments:

• What’s broken in the agency world — and how Virginia’s fixing it.

• Strategy meets creativity under pressure (with style).

• Building ecosystems: partners, process, and presence.

White + Denim: Your Summer Uniform, Upgraded

• Go Lightweight: Choose breathable fabrics—linen button-downs, cotton tanks, or gauzy blouses. A crisp white in summer = instant glow-up.

• Pick Your Summer Denim: Think high-rise shorts, a frayed mini skirt, or relaxed wide-leg jeans in a light or white wash. Bonus points for vintage Levi’s or anything with a raw hem.

• Tuck + Cinch: A breezy tuck + a woven belt = peak casual chic. Want shape? Knot your tee or blouse at the waist. Editor’s Notes: I do this always!

• Layer Lightly: Add a breezy kimono, open overshirt, or sheer wrap for sunset chills. Denim-on-denim works too—just keep one piece oversized.

• Elevate with Extras: Think straw tote, gold hoops, sporty sunnies, and chunky sandals or espadrilles. Top it off with SPF, glossy lips, and that effortless ‘I’m-on-vacation’ vibe—even if you're just running errands.

Featured Video: Behind The Mic

I’m taking you behind the mic to share the heart, hustle, and vision that inspired I Want Her Shoes — and what’s coming next.
