Don’t you wish you lived here? For at least a day … or a year, or forever!?
Since summer has officially arrived, it’s time to break out the white. Whether your version of “summer white” means head-to-toe white attire (like you’re headed to a super hip Hamptons party, you know, the one in your fantasy world), or a few clean accessories, white has never been hotter.
Well, not if you have small children. Sorry.

But most of us can at least dream of a gleaming white backdrop, and it’s attainable thanks to the abundance of white products and fashions in stores today.
Here are some items, perfect for your next big, “white moment.”
Let’s start with home…

These white ceramic vases from West Elm are perfect for this look — they’re versatile and easy to move around. You’ll look a lot fancier than you are with these accessories in your home.

I couldn’t help but include this great “hive” pendant, which was actually inspired by the Michelin Man, according to Elle Decor, by designer Sir Terence Conran for British lighting firm, called Original BTC.
And now, the clothes…

What perfect summer day doesn’t include a dream dress like this one by French Connection? Sure, it’s probably way too short for me, but a girl can dream, right?

Back to reality — I actually own these white jeans. Bought them from JCrew last summer. I was so happy when I pulled these out of the closet last weekend. Now, if only they fit. Summer white, equals summer workouts, I’m afraid.

Feeling better about yourself is exactly what shoes were made for. And I just so happen to need new shoes…these look just about perfect for my white moment.
Happy first of summer!
