Ask Shopbop: Holiday Weekend Packing List


Clockwise from top left left: Rag & Bone/JEAN skinny jeans, Madison Marcus dress (similar), Wilt jumpsuit, Lisa Marie Fernandez swimsuit, Joe’s Jeans button-down (similar), Oliver Peoples sunglasses, BB Dakota maxi skirt, Deux Lux weekender bag, Joie sandals, Splendid cardigan, Clare Vivier clutch.

Monday marks the unofficial start of summer, and with an extra day off, a lot of people will be traveling. When I take off for a long weekend trip, I like to pack comfortable, mix-and-match pieces that transition easily from day to night. You'll never miss with an edited weekend bag full of classic pieces that can be brought to life with accessories and a bit of pattern play. A chic scarf, tee, and lounge pants go from a walk on the beach to lunch, and for a casual, pulled-together dinner look, pair a crisp pinstripe blouse to dark denim with an envelope clutch and sandals. Happy holiday weekend!

Seen @ Shopbop: Club Monaco Blouse

A button-down blouse is one of the most versatile pieces in a woman’s wardrobe. It can be dressed up or down, used as a beach cover-up, buttoned to the collar or worn open and loose—it truly runs the gamut of styling. Basic white is a tried-and-true standard, but we can’t help but love Copywriter Val’s unexpected version from Club Monaco: the semi-sheer shirt is dotted with tiny green frogs. The amphibious accents give the silk blouse a playful feel, turning this style staple into a unique statement.

Break Time: Pink, Pens & Playgrounds

The sun is shining and happy hour is just a few more emails away. Tide yourself over until quitting time with a few of my favorite links from the week.

Think pink! When did baby girls start wearing this rosy hue? It began a lot more recently than you think.

Artist James Mylne wields a pen like Ansel Adams did a camera—from beautiful architecture to our favorite fashion icons, he captures their likeness in ballpoint pen drawings with perfect photoreal accuracy.

A dome-like steel structure called “the bubble” was the big attraction at my elementary school, but it doesn’t hold a candle to these incredibly inventive playgrounds.

She’s the Bop: Hayley Williams of Paramore

If you're trying to make it to Friday, desperately needing a wish right now... wish right now... wish right now... don't panic. Today's Bop Star is Hayley Williams, the rock princess of Paramore whose sparkle-bomb personality and Pixie Stix voice seems to lift everyone out of their weekday funks. Now on tour with her band to promote their new self-titled album, Hayley took a few minutes to talk about her personal style, her new collaboration with M.A.C, and old-school Nickelodeon shows. (Because anyone who can reference The Secret World of Alex Mack is worship-worthy in our book.)

FARAN KRENTCIL: You've been performing with Paramore for almost a decade. How has your personal style changed from your last album, Brand New Eyes, until now? 
HAYLEY WILLIAMS: 
Brand New Eyes was a pretty heavy time for me as a person. I was usually wearing a tee shirt and jeans and my overall style didn't really reflect a person who was trying new things and experimenting with her own self-expression. Where I'm at now is a far cry from those days. For the most part, I'm still a T-shirt and jeans girl, but I feel more colorful, I feel braver, and I like myself a bit more than I did back then. Even if I'm completely off-trend (and, usually, I am!), I would rather be true to myself than anyone else.

FK: How has your musical style changed from then?
HW: Ever since Taylor [York, Paramore's new guitarist] stepped in and started writing music for our band, I've found myself in a much freer place as a lyricist. His rhythms and tones are incredibly inspiring to me. My melodies are more fun to sing, and the words I write are more telling of my personality than ever. To put it simply, I really think it's more fun. That's the best way I know to describe it.

FK: Your hair is almost neon red. Does having a bright hair color preclude you from choosing certain colors in your clothes? 
HW: No. Should it?

FK: No! And speaking of bright colors, tell us about your M.A.C Cosmetics line! 
HW: 
I am still in shock about this whole thing. Honestly, it feels so cool to have this collaboration out there. The whole process was exciting and made me think about makeup in a whole new way—as complete self-expression. The best part is seeing all the photos from fans and people who've bought the products. I know orange sounds like a tricky color to pull off, but the "Sounds Like Noise" lipstick looks gorgeous on everybody.

FK: What song best describes your personal style?
HW: Of our own? Probably "Be Alone." It may sound hard to believe, but when we're not traveling the world playing big rock shows, I am really just a nerd who loves her quiet time at home with a cup of tea and TeVo'd episodes of Dexter. If I had to pick another, it's "Anklebiters," which is a song about self-love and self-acceptance. We all need a lesson in that every now and then.

FK: What game show would you win and why? 
HW: I always, always wanted to win Nickelodeon's GUTS. I grew up in the '90s—what do you expect?! Break me off a piece of that Agrocrag!
