Click here for details on Stephanie's casually-cool ensemble!

For this week’s Stylist Spotlight, we’re getting to know a little bit about stylist Stephanie H. Check out the fun and casual-chic ensemble she put together just for us!

What do you do at Zappos?

S: I am the stylist for all of the casual brands. Sometimes, I become the unofficial studio DJ as well!

What are a couple of fun facts about you? 

S: I have a photographic memory and technically cheat when playing word games or the like. Muahaha! I also like to get people laughing, usually at the expense of making myself look like an idiot.

Describe your personal style:

S: I don't have a set style, but I tend to lean towards softer feminine clothes, lots of peach and nude shades.

What was your last Zappos purchase, or what is your dream purchase?:

S: These days, I'm really digging thigh-high socks and tall boots with short dresses or skirts. I spent a bit too much on several tri-packs of Volcom and Free People knee/thigh highs.

What are your top 4 favorite brands at Zappos.com?

S: BB Dakota, Calvin Klein, BCBGeneration and Splendid

Trend Watch: Animal Instincts

Animal prints are really taking over fashion in a big way, not only this season, but year round. How can you not love a print that’s bold yet neutral at the same time? Leopard print in particular is becoming one of the hottest prints to see and be seen in. Play around with leopard print by throwing in a bright pop color with your accessories or mix it up by adding a different print like floral (as seen on the last outfit below).

Must-Have Travel Pieces

When it comes to travel, a few key essentials go a long way. Below are some of our picks for can’t-live-without pieces every savvy traveler should never be without.

1. Packable flats: If you’re doing a bit of walking, packing a pair of flexible and comfy flats, like the Cole Haan Air Bacara Ballet, is a must.

2. Lightweight weekender bag: Perfect for short trips or carry on items. We love the LeSportsac Large Weekender for its lightweight yet durable nylon material and a multitude of fun prints to choose from.

3. Packable dinner date dress: Choose a flattering and classic silhouette like the Icebreaker Roma Dress. The best part about this timeless and unfussy dress is the 100% New Zealand merino wool which is lightweight and repels moisture and odor. The hand pockets make it super handy for carrying your bare essentials!

4. Cute makeup bag: Keep your beauty goodies close at hand in the plane with a darling cosmetic bag like the Betseyville Cheetah Bows.

5. Travel crossbody bag: The slim shape and multiple pockets of the LeSportsac Kasey crossbody makes it the perfect little bag for your sightseeing trips!

6. Comfy sweatpants: This is a true essential in our books. Try the Splendid Active Flare Leg Pant to make your plane time a lot more bearable.

7. Basic hoodie sweater: A great throw-on option for chilly plane cabins or long road trips. We love the soft and comfy Alternative Apparel The Rocky Eco-Fleece Zip Hoodie.

While there's a veritable sea of summer trends out there to covet, there's nothing quite as iconic as All-American red, white and blue. When it comes to achieving a classic Americana summertime look, this patriotic and chic color combo is the way to go. It evokes summer picnics, fireworks, and nautical style. Whether you choose to add hints of red, white and blue in your accessories or your clothes, the look is decidedly summer.

Check out some of our fresh picks for red, white and blue: (clockwise)

Dooney & Bourke Cork Large Equestrian: The classic structured shape of this bag looks just as great for the office as it does for the weekends.

Butter London Three-Free Laquers in Pillar Box Red: This flirty true-red nail polish is a classic that you won't want to be without this summer.

BCBGeneration Ruffled Cami Dress in Lipstick: Flirty and airy, this dress is great for a summer party.

Havaianas Slim in Navy: Once you step into these cult-favorite flip flops, you won't want to take them off all summer long. They're a true summer essential.

DKNY white sunglasses: It just wouldn't be summer without the perfect oversized shades! This one is very modern-day Jackie O.

Splendid White Rugby Stripe V-Neck Top in Blue Steel: This classic rugby-stripe tee looks fantastic paired with linen drawstring pants or shorts for a nautical feel.

Left: Free People Floaty Light Cami, Free People Benji's Wideleg Pant, Nine West Braxton wedges, Lucky Brand Ojai Crochet Crossbody. Right: Red Dot Jackie Jersey Waterfall Vest, Splendid Supima 2x1 tank,Levi's 5225 Capri, Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Slip, Fossil Camille Bucket bag, Motif 56 Ruth belt

When the occasion calls for something effortlessly laidback and stylish, we love easy-to-throw on classics in soft and drapey fabrics. Take these two stylists picks for example; these casual ensembles perfectly sum up what summer fashion is all about--fuss-free yet fashionable.

The first outfit is a lovely take on modern bohemian, incorporating a relaxed wideleg pant with a lightweight and sexy cami. The stunning tribal necklace gives this look an on-trend feel, while a crochet crossbody bag gives the look a bit of hippie style.

For a busy day of sightseeing, the second ensemble is casual, but still polished and feminine. A pair of comfy capris, classic Chuck Taylor® sneakers, a breezy vest and an essential cotton tank top all adds up to a cute go-anywhere, do-anything look.
