We recently met up with designer Rebecca Taylor in NYC to get the story about how she got her start in the fashion industry as well as her sources of inspiration in the big city.

It’s no secret that we love our sandals for spring, but there’s a certain type of sandal that has captured our style interest lately: the cork sandal. They're perfectly casual and laid back for all those summer dresses, shorts and jeans. 

There are tons of really gorgeous iterations of this trend; we couldn’t possibly pick just one!

This edition of “Brooke Hearts” was inspired by my often-busy travel schedule. As you can see, I’m all about comfort when travelling!

This week kicks off a very exciting time of year: NYC Fashion Week! Today, I’m travelling to the Big Apple for some pre-Fashion Week events.

I’m super excited to present at the Lucky Magazine FABB Awards tomorrow, and I will also be hosting Zappos Fashion’s Night Out at Pravda!

Stay tuned this week for my tweets and posts from NYC!

Neons and bright, bold colors have become this season’s eye-catching trend to watch, and for good reason. Sprinkled in with your neutrals, bright hues really create a fresh focal point to your look.  Adding in an element of pop using bright colors can be as simple as incorporating a bold-colored bag or shoe to an otherwise understated ensemble.

Below are just some of our favorite brights to add to your summer fashion repertoire: (clockwise)

Marc by Marc Jacobs espadrille: What better way to liven up the classic espadrille wedge than by adding a cheerful dose of yellow?

Rebecca Taylor Party Girl Strapless Dress: Want a cocktail dress that’s completely envy-worthy? This flirty hot pink number should do the trick!

Kate Spade New York Gracie Crossbody in Gulabi: The prim and proper structured shape of this bag is juxtaposed by the bright pop of candy pink.

Cosabella Never Say Never Flirtie Bandeau Bra in Barbados: This lovely bandeau bra is perfect to wear under this season’s sheer or oversized tank tops.

Hudson Hampton Cuff Short in Blue: We are head over heels over this fresh approach to denim shorts. These just scream “summer”.

Flattering and breathtakingly beautiful, Rebecca Taylor's clothes enhance the women who wear her cunning collection. With perfect prints, great knits, and flirty dresses, Rebecca Taylor's apparel collection can fit into any contemporary woman's closet. Take the Simply Shirt Dress for example. This isn't simply a shirt, and it's not like any other dress you own. This exquisitely charming Rebecca Taylor frock will fabulously display your delicious demeanor unlike anything else. The scoop neck, hook placket and belted waist make the Simply Shirt Dress unlike anything you’ve ever seen. Keep your phone and compact in the hidden hand pockets. Did we mention it’s 100% silk?
