One piece every woman needs in her closet is a great red dress suitable for every occasion. This Milk and Honey dress is a must-have for our wardrobe. The shape is conservative yet feminine, and we love the open-back detail that provides a fun contrast to the high neckline in the front. Janie paired hers with a bold black and gold necklace and nude patent pumps for an evening look, while Blair paired hers with a denim jacket, chunky Alexis Bittar necklace, and lace up sandals for a casual afternoon look. Whether you choose to dress it up or dress it down, the opportunities to wear this are endless. Visit the Milk and Honey website to shop our looks!

This week on Milk and Honey, we decided to style two (faux) leather tops with two seersucker skirts to show how these two pieces could be worn numerous times with different looks. Since Blair and Janie are the preppy ones of the three, they chose to wear the seersucker skirts. Blair paired hers with a bright ruffle top and Kate Spade accessories, while Janie paired hers with the leather top and a fun bauble necklace. Ellen wore her leather top with coral shorts, a turquoise necklace, and converse sneakers for a casual weekend look. Click here to shop our looks!

As most people are well-aware, HIV has been an epidemic affecting Africa for quite some time now. With over 260,000 babies born with HIV last year alone, the transmission rate from mother to child during childbirth is largely at fault. Physicians have discovered that with only one pill a day taken by the mother during pregnancy, the child has a 98% chance of being born HIV-free.
John Megrue, of Apax Partners, reached out to Anna Wintour and Diane von Furstenburg to bring Born Free to life. Born Free is a new non-profit that plans to bring funding to African countries to provide women with the medicine they need to help prevent the spread of HIV during pregnancy. What makes this charity different than others is that there is already a solution to the epidemic, therefore this issue can be drastically controlled through raising funds. Born Free is a collaboration of 22 fashion designers to create a collection of mother-daughter apparel produced at a cost-efficient rate to raise money for the cause. The MAC Aids fund plans to match up to $500,000 in proceeds. Designers such as Prada, Versace, Marni, Stella McCartney, Victoria Beckham, among others have contributed.
The Born Free collection is now available on Shopbop. Click here to see the full collection and take a look of some of the pieces below. Go ahead, start shopping! (Did I mention everything is under $245?)

Now that Spring has sprung, I find myself gravitating towards the brighter pieces in my closet. I paired this yellow moto jacket I picked up at a sample sale this year (try this similar one) with a solid tee and my skinny jeans for an afternoon in the park. One of the things I have learned in my life is that every woman needs a good pair of flats in her closet. I am a huge fan of these Prada flats, as they are comfortable, classic, and made of the softest leather.

One of my favorite wardrobe staples would have to be my Barbour coat. What I love most about this coat is the classic shape that will forever be in style. Normally I pair it with jeans and boots for a sporty Fall look, but I paired it with a casual dress and my favorite ankle booties for a sunny afternoon in Deep Ellum this past weekend. Click here to see where you find your Barbour coat!
