    I used to not love them, but maxis have become my latest go-to - they're just so easy to wear and so chic! Love this post!

    Maxi dresses are the best. They're so comfortable but I don't look like a totally lazy (even though I am).

    Great picks in the other categories as well. I love the Mara Hoffman bikini and Karen Walker glasses especially!
