Classic Beauty: Timeless Styles from Peter Som
Letter from Morocco: Boho-Luxe Looks
That globetrotting friend who lived in Morocco for a time and returned with a taste for obscure spices and an envy-inspiring collection of scarves and bracelets? This spring she's the muse for some of our favorite designers. See Sunner's sophisticated spin on batik, laid-back luxe pieces from Gold Hawk, and the gilded embroidery on Seaton's tailored shift. Flat sandals, loads of long necklaces and a slouchy handbag complete the effortlessly glamorous look. Spring's I've-lived-abroad style? Get it right here, at shopbop.
New VINCE Styles Have Arrived
A brand known for its city-girl-chic sensibility and timeless silhouettes is stretching into innovative new territory this season.

The signature perfectly-cut trousers, shorts, and tops are still there, making Vince one habit you'll never want to break. The latest styles are everything you've hoped for and more.

Find the Perfect Dress for Any Occasion
The list of summer occasions is a long one. First there's a formal, then the big graduation, and the number of summer weddings requesting your presence has hit mammoth proportions.

For that formal, slip into Jovovich-Hawk's endlessly flattering Paloma Long Dress. Start your new life adventures with ADAM's clean, white Embellished Waistband Dress. And for all those weddings? The Loeffler Randall Cowl Dress comes in a brilliant shade of teal that will have all eyes on you. (Go ahead, recycle it for your cousin's nuptials. We won't tell.) Your occasion attire just got a lot less complicated. Find your frock, at shopbop.

Summery Canvas Bags with a Chic Sensibility
We've always liked the idea of a summery canvas bag in theory, but in practice? We're often disappointed. This one's too beachy and that one's too boring, too cutesy, too casual, too geriatric, and so on. But this season designers are putting a sophisticated spin on canvas. Witness Foley + Corinna's smart, patent-trimmed canvas Jetsetter Jr., Kale's brilliant marriage of burlap and metallic, the Palmer bag, and MICHAEL by Michael Kors' sporty-meets-posh Hamptons tote. Summery canvas bags with a chic sensibility? Get yours right here, at shopbop.

Look Good Do Good
What happens when doing good meets looking good? Our Fashion Gives Back tees. Glamour magazine commissioned these wearable works of art by Jovovich-Hawk, Erin Fetherston and Thakoon, and for each one sold, 6 mosquito nets are donated to women and children in Tanzania through Malaria No More, an organization dedicated to fighting a disease that kills one million children in Africa each year. Wearable, limited-edition works of art that help fight malaria? Well that’s just plain brilliant, and you can get yours right here, at shopbop.
Haute Mama: Fashion-Forward Looks Inspired by Celebrity Moms
Mom jeans. Mom hair. Such shopworn disses may soon be a thing of the past if a new generation of celebrity moms has their way. Modern Sophisticates to Hollywood Bohemians, Couture Punks to Chic Humanitarians, these haute mamas show that having a toddler (or two) in tow doesn't mean being doomed to a wardrobe of saggy sweats and sneakers. We're finding fashion inspiration in the sweeping dresses and skinny jeans of a certain globetrotting do-gooder, while our favorite singer/actress/designer's luxe SoCal skater look proves that motherhood and punk rock attitude can go hand in hand. Head-to-toe looks inspired by our favorite celeb moms? Find them right here, at shopbop.
