I think summer dressing should feel easy.

The kind where you throw on one dress, add sandals and sunglasses, and somehow look like you planned the whole outfit.

That’s the energy I had in mind when I put together a new article featuring 10 dresses that feel like a European summer — breezy linen maxis, romantic florals, playful minis, and a few elegant evening dresses that are perfect for warm nights out.

If you’re building your summer wardrobe or dreaming about vacation outfits, I think you’ll love this edit.

There’s just something about European summer style that feels different. ✨

The linen dresses. The woven bags. The effortless outfits that somehow look polished without trying too hard.

I put together a new guide inspired by five iconic destinations — Paris, the Amalfi Coast, Rome, the South of France, and Barcelona — breaking down the European Summer outfits that capture the mood of each place.

Think breezy linen pieces, striped trousers, raffia accessories, and romantic dresses that feel like they belong in a Mediterranean sunset.

Whether you’re planning a trip or just romanticizing summer a little, these outfit ideas might inspire your next look.

There’s something about Euro summer that just feels different.

The linen. The espresso. The salt in your hair after a swim in impossibly blue water.

While I may not be boarding a flight to the Amalfi Coast (yet), I am building the swim drawer of my dreams — and Anthropologie has some of the chicest pieces right now.

I rounded up 10 swimwear finds that feel effortlessly European — romantic bikini sets, elevated one-pieces, high-waisted silhouettes, and quiet luxury staples that instantly make you feel like the main character.

If you’re romanticizing your summer wardrobe like I am, this edit is for you.

Looking put together has very little to do with owning new things.

It’s about repetition.
Fit.
And removing friction from what you already own.

The most polished women aren’t shopping constantly — they’re editing.

Once you see it, it’s impossible to unsee.

I wrote about this idea recently and how it completely changes the way you get dressed.

Black Friday can be… a lot.
Every store is shouting, every brand is “limited time only,” and suddenly everything feels like a must-buy.

So I pulled together a curated Élevé-style guide to the only Black Friday deals actually worth it — the ones that elevate your home, your style, your beauty routine, or your fitness life (not clutter you’ll regret later).

Think:
✨ Bala
✨ Brooklinen
✨ Shopbop
✨ Saks
✨ Neiman Marcus
✨ Sephora
✨ Madewell
✨ Pi***la Denim
✨ Necessaire
… and a few more favorites.

Each section includes the real Black Friday/Cyber Monday deal + my top 2–3 picks from each store.

I don’t usually get emotional over a dance, but Whitney Leavitt and Mark Ballas’ “My Way” freestyle on Call Her Daddy… wow. This one hit different.

If you followed Whitney’s time on Dancing With the Stars, you know how unfair so much of the public commentary became — even after she scored a 58/60 (the second-highest of the night!) right before being eliminated. The bullying, the misrepresentation, the way people treated her like a storyline instead of a real woman… it was hard to watch.

And yet last night, watching her dance again with Mark — soft, vulnerable, grounded — felt like a reclamation. A moment of truth after months of noise. A reminder that we never know what someone is carrying when we choose to be cruel online.

I’ve already rewatched this more than ten times today.
If you watch anything this week, let it be this. 💛
