I truly get excited about summer Fridays, but I’d be over the moon if I could go to Holland to see the other Biënnale. Arnhem Mode is organized by my friend Piet Paris. This year’s theme is Shape and features works by labels like Lanvin, Comme des Garçons, and Sandra Backlund. There are dozens of related programs (including a screening of Coco Avant Chanel), and the exhibitions aren’t in whitewashed gallery spaces, either, but spread out across town, the idea being to alter the cityscape/shape. It’s up through July 6, which means I’ve got exactly ten days to hatch my escape plan. If I don’t make it, at least there’s a pretty catalog to console myself with.

What to Wear Now: Scoop Neck Dress.
Warm summer days call for breezy natural fabrics like cotton and loose fits. This MICHAEL Michael Kors dress (Buy Direct) fits both of those requirements. It features a yummy mocha color (also in orchid) and puff sleeves.
The straight fit of this shift covers a multitude of body sins. The low scoop neck is very flattering for the face, but it also visually lengthens the body.
The price is reasonable because the embroidery adds a special look to the dress. Most of all, the natural cotton fiber and loose fit are perfect for hot weather.
