Setting the Mood: White Heat

Halfway through summer and all the way to the top of the thermometer. The July heat is nearly unbearable and it’s those humid days where it feels as if anything heavier than a tissue would be too much to wear. While a New Yorker’s standard uniform seems to be perpetually black, reversing roles in all white seems to lighten things both literally and figuratively. Ivory, bone, eggshell, and stark white in linen, lace, crochet and chiffon will keep you cool and cool you down.
