Summer Whites: Miranda Kerr's Tank Dress and Espadrille Flats Look for Less

Miranda Kerr's white midi dress and nude crossbody bag
Back in June, model Miranda Kerr was seen at the Stella McCartney Spring 2016 Resort Presentation in NYC wearing this white midi dress and espadrille flats ensemble - one of those super summery looks that you'll want to copy before Labor Day rolls around.

Shoe Debut: Zendaya's White Shirt, Destroyed Jeans and Feathered Heels Look for Less

Zendaya Coleman wears a white button down shirt, destroyed denim and strappy heels for the debut of her new shoe collection, Daya.
I think it's every girl's dream to launch her own shoe collection, and now singer/actress Zendaya is doing just that with the debut of Daya, due out in Spring 2016. The collection, with prices ranging from $125-$175, aims to be "the perfect balance between ‘Sex Appeal’ and ‘Sporty Lux’" and features statement heels, modern flats and the go-to high top sneaker.
