I'm in my dress phase right now, which isn't all that surprising considering my love for the style and the warm-weather season it calls for. As a fashion editor, I constantly have my eye on what dress styles, trends, and brands the fashion crowd is wearing from season to season. Today, I'm highlighting 10 brands that are hugely popular among our editors and the fashion set in the summer (and that keep popping up on my Instagram).
