Our Summer Hair Accessories Roundup
A component of hair care that I think often gets overlooked is hair accessories. Particularly in the summer, scarves, clips, and bows are the perfect way to cool down and keep your locks out of your face.
Capsule Wardrobe | The Summer Essentials
Our summer wishlist is full of versatile, lightweight, and airy pieces that will get you through a summer spent at home or abroad.
Dressing to the Theme | Met Gala
Anyone who knows me knows that I live for the Met Ball. Every year, I eagerly await the theme announcement, co-chair roster, and of course, the fashion. I pour myself a glass of wine, put on my comfiest loungewear, and watch the red carpet like it's the evening news.
Capsule Wardrobe | The Slip Dress
Meet the slinky slip dress: the ultimate essential for spring and summer.
Fashion Muse | Jane Birkin
For some spring inspiration, we're turning to one of our tried and true fashion muses: the iconic Jane Birkin. The English songstress has decades of super-chic fashion moments to choose from, but we're particularly drawn to her spring and summer staples.

Fashion Muse | Princess Diana
It's no secret that Princess Diana has been a style icon for decades, but her incredible costumes in the The Crown have undoubtedly introduced a whole new generation to her iconic looks. Her playful-yet-sophisticated style is timeless. Her high-waisted jeans, Converse, and bike shorts are just as relevant today as they were in the 80s and 90s when she made her royal debut.
Fête en Blanc | Fashion Inspiration
When was the last time you felt excited to dress up for a special occasion? I must admit, after months of quarantining, I’m starting to feel nostalgic for simple pleasures like grabbing cocktails with a friend, or date night at a local favorite with my husband.
Casual Fashion for a Dinner at Home
Here at Elsie Green, we’re big fans of a night out at a trendy restaurant. The beautiful decor, the strong cocktails, the sweet treats for dessert, and of course, the chance to dress up a little. However, these days, our dinner plans look a little different. We’re trading our velvet blazers and heeled boots for a matching sweats set and slippers, but that doesn’t mean we can’t keep it chic even at home. Here are some of our personal favorite fashion pieces for a relaxing dinner at home (that we may even keep reaching for for once the world is back to normal).
