“Take all of my money – this brand can do no wrong. They balance sex appeal and timeless femininity in the most brilliant way I’ve ever seen. From their milkmaid dresses to their corseted minis and every style in between, there isn’t an item from this brand that I wouldn’t love to have hanging in my closet. If I could only wear one brand for the rest of my life, House of CB would undoubtedly be it.” – Anna Hartman, Managing Editor

Pact Beachside Linen Crochet Cover-Up, $68

O.p.t Isa Silk Dress, $289
