It’s that time of year where we reassess our closets and start bringing in lighter and brighter options that say spring. I have a new spring series for you starting today that will feature a specific shop, and what I’m loving from their spring collection. Today, I’m featuring Avara. Avara is a women-owned business founded by Emily Wickstead in 2018. Emily left a 20 year career in finance to follow the dream of starting her own fashion business. Today, Avara has exclusive collections and employs over 70 employees.

Why I love it…

Personally, when I meet and greet with new fashion brands as possible features here, I have two main criteria: 1.) I have to feel connected to the brand in style and inspiration, 2.) I have to love the apparel and feel good about recommending it. Avara checks both of those boxes, so I am honored to feature them here today. They have some beautiful exclusive pieces that fit with my personal coastal-inspired style, and I love Emily’s brand story.

My Avara picks…

Seersucker Ruffle Top

Shop my Outfit

The Hailey Top, shown here in blue seersucker is an Avara exclusive. The Hailey is also available in a white top or a lavender top. This is such a great top to wear tucked into jeans or looser with a pair of crops or shorts. This is one of my top picks. It’s a true seersucker and I love the ruffle detail. Runs TTS and only $64.

Blue & White Stripe Midi Dress

Shop my Outfit

The Sammy Dress has a fun nautical vibe. It’s very light and breezy and fitted through the bust and waistline with an A-line fit. I’m 5’11” and here I’m wearing my usual size, but I’d recommend sizing up if you have a larger chest. I’m going to size up in this one so its looser on top. Runs TTS unless you need more room in the chest. Only $64.

The Cassandra Wedge shown here in beige is a fun addition to these outfits. It looks great with dresses and these white boot cut jeans. It’s also going to be fun to pair these with shorts for fun in the summer. Run TTS and only $48.
