TRAVEL: Olavinlinna & Cold-Weather Summer Style I can finally share all the magical moments of my trip having just returned to Brooklyn and regular wi-fi access! With my husband and in-laws, I traveled to Finland to see the midsummer night sun and the Aida opera in a castle built in 1475 from as well as celebrate my wedding with my Finnish family and friends.  Style tips for traveling north in the summer:  Dress warm, but stick with light and bright colors: I’m wearing a long-sleeve peace silk dress by Ivana Basilotta that’s incredibly warm and light at the same time, Cri de Coeur studded vegan thigh-high boots in beige and H&M Conscious Collection blazer in nude (still available in some stores). The studded beige handbag is by Matt&Nat (old) and underneath it all I have navy thights by American Apparel. Outside, I also wore a Vaute Couture gray jacket (old).  Carry a colorful umbrella: mine is from Marimekko. Wear your hair up: a side braid looks chic, but lasts all day even when it’s rainy and windy outside Annabella, New York

I can finally share all the magical moments of my trip having just returned to Brooklyn and regular wi-fi access!

STYLE: Long-Sleeve Jersey Dress

I love taking photos of stylish eco-friendly dresses in nature: even if I wouldn’t ever really wear this outfit in a country house in Vermont (I opted for gray khakis, blue-and-white striped sweater and Toms), it highlights the fact that every time we choose something gorgeous that’s produced respecting the world around us, we make change happen.

This chic and ultra-comfortable long-sleeve pencil dress was custom-made by Goodone from recycled organic cotton jerseys and sewn according to my preferences: just-above-the-knee hem length and tight sleeves. I like pairing it with this blue skinny faux-leather belt from ASOS and Cri de Coeur blue velvet pumps. It also looks great with a 2-inch-wide black satin belt and black Mary-Janes. This dress has been garnering compliments everywhere I go.

I have loved it so much that I immediately called the designer to set up a collaboration with MISSQA. Stay tuned for a selection of stunning Goodone made-to-order dresses and tops!
