The designs really speak for themselves, so scroll on for 11 luxe-looking Reformation dresses you can rock with confidence!
Butter yellow is the "It" color of the season, and it's flattering on everyone! The Mayve Knit Dress from Reformation embraces the mellow yellow shade in a drop-waist mini-length silhouette that's fun and oh-so flirty. The piece is made from Reformation's Cotton Cinch, a soft, lighter-weight, stretchy fabric made with 88% organic cotton and 12% spandex that hugs your figure and moves with you.
This Reformation dress is available in 3 other colors and sizes S-XL for $148.
C'mon, open back! This sexy silhouette was truly made for grabbing cocktails and dancing with the girls. Since it wears very light, you won't have any problem wearing this breathable design, even in the dead of summer. It's made from drapey crepe fabric that feels ultra-light on the skin. Not to mention, that orange color is drop-dead gorgeous and will have heads turning everywhere you go!

In my princess era, for real. This airy white maxi dress boasts a fitted bodice and a gentle milkmaid top that amp up the ethereal energy. It's made from 100% linen, so you can feel secure your summer look is easy and breezy. The upper half of this Reformation dress is fitted with a flexible stretchy smocked material that ensures a comfy fit. The back zips up for easy on-and-off.

The squared neck, elongated smocked bodice, and carefree maxi skirt work together to bring a super-elevated look for date nights, happy hour, and beyond. Simply slide into some ballet flats, and you're ready to go!

Polka dots feel super Parisian, so if you're looking to embrace your French girl style era, this Reformation dress is for you! It's crafted from a soft, stretchy jersey fabric, though it may not feel as breathable as the other Reformation dresses made with linen. Still, it hugs your body in the best ways throughout and features a darling sweetheart neckline that's decorated with lace for added femme vibes!
This pick is also shoppable in solid black in sizes 0-12 for $178.
Another tell-tale sign of the cool French girl is bubble skirts. This one explodes out from a beautifully-executed drop waist that lines your midsection! While most other Reformation dresses have two traditional straps, this pick features a halter neckline which forms the sultry open back detail.
You can shop the Babette Dress in three other colorways in sizes 0-12 for $218.
This mini dress is for the more casual days! The mini length is met by a playful leg slit that just feels right for summertime. The squared-off neckline is completed with non-adjustable straps while the overall material is dotted cutely in white hearts! Since this dress' silhouette is fairly no-frills, there are endless possibilites for styling it. I'd def rock it with some tall boots and a light jacket.

It's giving sleek. It's giving luxury. It's giving power. The Delilah dress from Reformation is the perfect investment piece for dinner parties, weddings, and more! It boasts an open back, thanks to the halter neckline that hugs your bust. The v-neck of this light linen style dives deep, showing even more skin in the most chic way. The straight skirt lands right at the ankles, so you can still show off your favorite summer shoes!
This piece is also available in two other colors and sizes 0-12 for $278.
Another bubble skirt sighting means you have to hop on the trend! Though this Ref dress looks like two pieces, it's actually one, and it's unbelievably easy to wear. The strapless (but still secure) neckline means no fussing with adjustable straps slipping and sliding, and the mini skirt is just the right length to cover you up. The limited color palette part of this dress makes it a contender for paring with more black and white pieces or going crazy with added color!
The Clea Dress is also shoppable in a neutral gingham pattern and sizes 0-12 for $218.
Your next wedding guest dress: found! This floral frock is the ultimate piece to have hanging in your closet for formal occasions since it's cozy to wear and totally picture-worthy.

If there are two things you can count on, it's that I'm always thinking about Gilmore Girls and I'm always listening to Taylor Swift. As soon as I pressed play on The Tortured Poets Department, I could tell this album would resonate with so many experiences I had a child and a teenager. I've always been imaginative (and, admittedly, a bit spacey), and to this day, I never leave home without a book.
I've built thousands of imaginary worlds and crafted endless stories, but have always had difficulty keeping up with real-world relationships. So, needless to say, when I listened to Taylor Swift's new album and heard "I Hate It Here" and "The Bolter," I felt seen. I also realized these two songs would speak to Rory Gilmore in the same way!
Image via Warner Bros. TV
"I Hate It Here" totally showcases Taylor Swift's ability to express raw emotions, and it also perfectly captures Rory Gilmore's struggles during certain periods of her life. The lyrics reflect frustration and dissatisfaction we can all feel sometimes (I know I've definitely felt them), and while Rory and Taylor's dreams in and of themselves are different, they both want to leave their small towns to achieve them. Whether it's feeling overwhelmed by expectations or facing setbacks in her career in Gilmore Girls season 5, Rory has moments throughout the series where she feels a bit trapped.
But even more than the physical meaning of the song is the imaginary one. Taylor sings about creating worlds in her mind and diving into books to escape the mundane. Rory reads more than any fictional character I've ever seen before because she also craves that escapism! The lyrics of "I Hate It Here" resonate with Rory when she wants to live different lives, and it encapsulates the moments when she struggles or questions her decisions — relatable!
Image via Warner Bros. TV
TBH, I'm half convinced "The Bolter" is referencing Amy March (after all, Amy has been "reviled" by readers for hundreds of years, and she "almost drowned...in frigid water" like Taylor sings), which is just another literary reference Rory would pick up on.
In "The Bolter," Taylor Swift captures the essence of a woman constantly seeking adventure and change, just like Rory Gilmore, and it's all about the idea of a restless spirit. While the lyrics can be taken from a hypothetical standpoint (feeling trapped by relationships or other people's expectations), we can also talk about it literally considering Rory physically runs away from Jess.
Rory might desire love, but the idea of it also scares her — two facts that don't cancel each other out! Just like Taylor Swift, I think Rory's thrilled by the idea of escape simply because she's so risk averse in other areas of her life. Once again, I say, relatable!!
"The Bolter" and "I Hate It Here" are both incredibly engaging songs because they highlight just how complex we are as humans — both in the ways we relate to ourselves and other people. And they're just two Taylor Swift songs Rory would definitely add to her playlist.

Blake Lively was just spotted living her best life vacationing in Capri, Italy donning the cutest one-piece swimsuit – in perhaps one of the most unexpected colors for the season!
Miss Blake took a break from filming A Simple Favor 2 to board a boat (jealous!) wearing a bold coral swimmie from Gooseberry Intimates – and I was immediately convinced 2024 is finally the year of one-piece swimsuits. Ugh, her power!
Unlike most celebrity style we're seeing these days, Blake's swimsuit is super easy to track down and is fairly accessible price-wise. Below, find all the details you need to know about Blake's one-and-done vacay look before you snag the ultimate swim staple for yourself.
This $99 swimsuit from Gooseberry Intimates is downright flirty. Just look at that plunging neckline! The v-neck effect is overwhelmingly sultry and sexy, so there'll be no doubt that you'll feel confident AF every beach or pool day you wear it. No wonder celebs like Blake Lively, Sydney Sweeney, Kendall Jenner, and Vanessa Hudgens love it!
The bottom half of the suit boasts a cheeky cut with a playful high leg that adds a flattering elongating effect on your legs. Since it's specifically crafted to sculpt your figure, there are no annoying cups or inserts to mess with, plus the material is double-lined for additional peace of mind!
The suit comes in sizes XS-XL and is fitted with thin adjustable spaghetti straps so you can find your perfect fit. The solid color opens doors for endless styling possibilities, whether you wear it with a swimsuit cover-up to prep for the pool or with a flowy maxi skirt on dry land. You can also shop it in 14 other hues, from key lime green to royal blue.
With solid TLC, this Gooseberry Intimates swimsuit can last you years and years (and years). Now that's what I call a good investment. According to the brand, "each garment is hand dyed, cut and sewed to order," so you can get excited knowing this one-piece was made just for you.
This luxe-looking black one-piece swimsuit is also made from figure-sculpting materials that hug you in in all the right places. Compared to Blake Lively's coral swimsuit, this one has a bit more coverage up top and on the bottom. The double-lined fabric swarms the entire suit with comfort and coverage, including the bust and the medium-coverage brief areas.
The exposed back and keyhole cutout in the front are sure to turn all heads toward you. The scoopneck suit flexes some sleek gold hardware: a ring in the front, and an adorable little tag on the back for added elegance.
This chic cutout piece comes in 6 other colors, so you're bound to land on one that fits your vibe the most. It's shoppable in sizes XS-XL for $99!
This one-piece is probably my favorite of them all. Sure, the square neckline feels less revealing up top, but the style is still super sexy with high legs and a cheeky brief cut. Plus, I just can't resist baby pink!
This pick is crafted with Gooseberry Intimates' signature double-lined fabric for added modesty (love it!), and it comes in especially handy for wearing lighter colors like this subtle pink.
The thin, adjustable straps don't feel intrusive, which is great for when you're strolling along the sand or dipping your toes in the pool. It comes in sizes XS-XL and 5 other eye-catching colors for $99.
This bikini top feels like it's inspired by vintage lingerie, and I'm very here for it! The seaming on the underwired bust is reminiscent of your classic balconette bra, except this suit flaunts a tad more coverage. You're easily able to find your perfect swimsuit fit with the help of adjustable straps and a back clasp closure.
The double-lined bottoms, on the other hand, aren't adjustable, but stretch accordingly to your shape. They are perfectly mid-rise and cheeky, with a flirty high-cut leg in tow. While I adore this rusty red color, this set also comes in black, white, royal blue, and baby pink.
This bikini is currently shoppable in sizes XS-L. The top is $55 and the bottoms are $45.

Bathroom decor is having a moment, becoming more than just a place to wipe and wash. Instead, they're turning into what some are calling spathrooms with big bathtubs, open showers, saunas, and spa-like amenities, according to 2024 design trend report by Cosentino. One trend putting the "room" in bathroom is the bathroom library, which fits right into the vintage, grandmillennial and cottagecore trends, with built-in shelves above vanities, around commodes, and front and center to warm up a bathroom vibe. Here's the skinny on these neat nooks and how you can make one yourself!

But some of us at here aren't so sure. What do you think? For me, I'm a bath lover and reader, so the combo is definitely appealing. However, I definitely would worry about moisture ruining my precious novels, or guests lingering in the bathroom too long, wrapped up in a good book. But those cons aside, I dig the idea of a book nook in my bathroom, especially for my kiddo who loves when I read to her in the bath, and is even now a voracious reader herself.
If you're into the idea and want to start with a small library vs. splurging on some fancy built-ins, then here are some shelving ideas that are perfect for books in a bathroom.
Display your favorite books, trinkets and towels in this arc-shaped cabinet with glass door and five adjustable shelves.
Add a pop of pink to your paperbacks with this mid-century piece, perfect for larger baths.
This is IKEA's best-selling cabinet and for good reason: glass doors keep your book collection dust-free but still visible and the sleek design is space-saving.
Hang this shelf vertically or horizontally and showcase your best reads to reflect your good taste in books and design.
Make the most of your bathroom wall space with this modular piece that allows you to attach three shelves to a mounted panel — one flat and two reversibles that can be hung on top or underneath to give you lots of storage options.
This vintage-inspired cabinet would look charming above a sink instead of a mirror.
Save space with this vertical stainless steel bookcase available in several eye-catching colors. Once filled, the floating shelves vanish, keeping your tower of literature clean and organized.
Have fun with your library with these whimsical shelves available in mustard, sage, white, lilac and pink.
Love the scallop design here. Mount a set of these near your bathtub so a great read is always within reach.
