Everything She Wants

If you haven't already, it's time to break out the white fashion pieces you've had packed away since last summer.  I never used to wear white because the color stains so easily, and boy have I seen some mishaps! But while I'm still a little skeptical about wearing white pants,  I've learned to appreciate the pop of brightness you get from wearing white accessories (bags, hats and scarves), crisp and flowy white tops and tunics, and white sneakers. And if you'd like to add a few more trendy white looks and styles to your seasonal wardrobe, here are Everything She Wants ' picks for summer 2015. From top to bottom : Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star high-top sneakers  ($54.95), available at DSW; NYDJ Color Blocked Blouse ($88.00);  Riders by Lee Cuffed Denim Capris ($24.99), available at Kmart; Fe Lo Classic White sneakers by Feiyue  ($65.00); and David & Young's Search for Adventure scarf ($22.00).

From contemporary business casual to weekend-ready chic, NYDJ has all the spring wardrobe staples a girl on the go needs.  As always, NYDJ focuses on comfort and a flattering fit just as much as it does on trends and style. We love the Kadyn Fitted Ankle boyfriend jeans and Zip Front Top we were gifted at a recent preview. And here are a few more of the blossoming brand's fashion-forward spring 2014 picks, available now on NYDJ.com. Striped Tape Sweater in Tangerine & Kadyn Fitted Ankle . Zip Front Top in Havana Blu e. Gina Moto Detail Super Skinny Striped Pointe Jacket . Karmin Patched Skinny .

Make a bold fashion statement in 2014 wearing Pantone's Color of the Year, Radiant Orchid, a captivating shade of purple. We picked up an eye-catching infinity scarf from LOFT in the enigmatic color, and even found a mini Christmas tree in the regal shade. Pantone, a global color authority, describes Radiant Orchid as "an enchanting harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones. Radiant Orchid inspires confidence and emanates great joy, love and health." It's easy to incorporate the alluring color into your wardrobe with a versatile, sheer panel tee like this one ( see above photo ) from NYDJ 's spring 2014 collection. And wearing lipstick, blush and nail polish in Radiant Orchid flatters most skin tones and hair and eye colors. Have you gone gaga for Radiant Orchid, yet?  If you have and care to share, email a digital photo of yourself wearing the vibrant color to popandshop@gmail.com and I'll share it on Everything She Wants .

Everything She Wants adores NYDJ (Not Your Daughter's Jeans). Thanks to the smoothing Lift Tuck technology, they flatter the post-Forever 21 figure in all the right places.  And my ego enjoys that I tend to wear a size smaller in NYDJ styles.

I haven't worn a pair of white jeans since high school.  And even then, I never felt completely comfortable in the color. I've always been too preoccupied that my white clothing would get dirty, or that I'd sit in something and have a stain across my backside like a woman I once saw defiantly wearing her soiled white jeans at a rooftop party. But when Everything She Wants was offered the chance to try out a pair of Not Your Daughter's Jeans (NYDJ), I figured it's about time I shake my white jean phobia. While wearing them on a hot Saturday afternoon, I felt totally cool.  Not only are the jeans figure-flattering because of the brand's Tummy Tuck technology that lifts in all the right places, but the light color reflects heat and compliments my complexion. And let's face it, when you're over 35 who wants to buy jeans in the junior's department?  With NYDJ, it's nice to know there's an option on the market for women who no longer feel c...
