We’re still waiting for summer to hit New York, but I choose to be an optimist. So when (not if) the warm weather sunshine hits the city, I’d like to have this Amanda Uprichard Penny dress - with its slouchy easy fit, and perfectly adorable ruffles - at the ready.  (LuvCharlie; $198)

When I saw this dress by Margarita Saplala with its great shape (gotta love a cowl neck) and gorgeous ikat print I thought, now this is a piece of art I could get into. So you can imagine how surprised I was when the next two people I showed it to thought it was a definite pass. I know asymmetry isn’t for everyone, but this dress should be. (LuvCharlie; $240)

I thought the blue Valentino dress Lauren Conrad wore for her swan song (ie Speidi’s wedding) on The Hills was cute, but then I found this printed silk version and am fully obsessed. Gorgeous colors, strangely transfixing (Tetris-inspired?) pattern, and an adorably retro silhouette. Mother may I?? (Saks; $525)

In case you noticed a little drop-off in activity, I just wasn’t so into stuff for a while there. (Shocking!) Still not sure that I am, but I had to share this one thing: the dress that I predict will see me through a summer’s worth of barbecues, outdoor concerts, and afternoons at the biergarten. (Don’t you love a great sample sale find?)

While I’ve ruled out wrap dresses (along with horizontal stripes - they’re great in theory, but just they don’t work for me) if I hadn’t, I’d be wrapping myself up in this colorblock habotai dress by Marc by Marc Jacobs. Tomato red tinged with purple? Perfection. (Bergdorf Goodman; $358)

After taking a whirl around the block this almost springy afternoon, I’m in a leafy kind of mood - which I think this jade scoop neck dress by Phillip Lim would be perfect for (besides just being absolutely perfect). (Blue & Cream; $395)

I’ve been looking for that perfect in-between dress to make weekend dressing a no-brainer until the summer slips can emerge, and I think this single ruffle ultramarine Vega dress by Lewis Cho is it. An arresting color, an easy cut, and I’m set until May! (Luv Charlie; $189)

As I advocated earlier, in case of vats of sangria - or swathes of summery sun - it never hurts to have more than one great white dress. And this demurely ruffled number by Sunner certainly qualifies. (Maluka; $131)

Watch this space for florals and corals galore - but first, one perfect black dress. The delicate sheer overlay elevates this from standard office sheath to something far more special. I guess Calvin Klein really is back! (Nordstrom; $118)

Maybe I’m just excited for spring to Get Here Already but I love this two parts whimsy to one part art flowery clutch. Everything’s got to come up roses when you’re carrying this, right? (Boden; $128)
