When photographer Lauri Levenfeld tapped our editor in chief and founder Lisa Sugar and the POPSUGAR team for a shoot in Palm Springs for The Womens Project, they slipped into dreamy boho dresses, chic cocktail wares, and the perfect pair of white jeans, giving way to a pretty sophisticated lineup of Summer dressing for every occasion.

In fact, with the variety of looks and personalities coming to life in Lauri's photos, the shoot serves as the perfect jumping off point to find a look for everything from Summer weddings to easy weekends — and everything in between. Scroll through — and don't forget to pin — there's plenty of inspiration and shopping in store right here.

Summer Weddings

With breezy maxis in your arsenal, you're ready for any occasion, from a beachy wedding to a daytime cocktail party. Bonus: pretty prints and flecks of metallic mean you won't have to stress about your jewelry.

Summer Cocktail Parties

Embrace this season's cool cuts, like jumpsuits with vibrant hues that will turn heads wherever you go. Bonus points for shoes that play up your color story and sleek jewels that let your outfit take the spotlight.

Work to Weekend

Stick to your favorite basics, like your essential white tee, LWD, and wear-everywhere kicks, but pair them with unexpected add-ons. Think how you might just reinvent a full skirt with your Stan Smiths instead of your pointy-toe flats; or give your little Summer dress some edge with a fierce pair of heels. Don't be afraid to play a little for major impact.
