I think I let out an audible squeal when I first saw news of this Mark D. Sikes x J.McLaughlin collaboration coming out just in time for summer.

Known for timeless interiors with a fresh take on American style, Mark also has an incredible eye for women’s fashion — I wore pieces from his former MDS Stripes line for both our engagement pictures and our rehearsal dinner and would choose them again today nearly a decade later. I am so happy to be able to shop his designs once more! 

There are a few pops of red and floral in the collection but of course my eye went right to all the navy and white stripes. I placed a sizable pre-order so I could try on everything in person and I’m a little worried I’ll want to keep every piece, but I imagine this navy shirt with white trim will be a home run and this navy and white striped dress could be a fun moment for my birthday in August.

The Mark D. Sikes x J.McLaughlin collection officially launches on June 22 but the pieces are available now for pre-order shipping by June 17. I hope you love these timeless pieces as much as I do!
