My first call of the morning was with one of my oldest friends, whom I met on the diving board line at La Ronde Beach Club in Westhampton Beach when I was 10 years old. After firming up our plans in the Hamptons this weekend--a cocktail party and dinner in town on Friday night, afternoon beach hang on Saturday, and a local band show, consisting of more childhood friends on Sunday night--we moved on to attire. I informed her that I was packing the new and very fun Loulou Studio skirt, above, along with some tried-and-true pieces, like the print Alemais, below, now on sale. I also suggested she hit Net-a-Porter's Memorial Day Sale, for more summer-is-here looks, including this fringed Farm Rio, this unerringly chic Mara Hoffman, this stunning Zimmermann, and this very East Hampton-sleek Tove dress. Also worth checking out is My Theresa's 50% off sale here! Long holiday weekend, here we come!

dead ahead dressing
Monday, May 20
Dead & Co's opening night at The Sphere in Las Vegas marked the official start of my event-dressing season. The show was spectacular, by the way, but, IMHO, so was my dress, above! (Details in my latest Substack!) With lots more special occasions in store, I rounded up some show-stoppers to wear, including the lace-trimmed Sea dress, below, in both white and black (love the idea of tossing an oversized blazer or chunky sweater over it at some point, too), the floaty Tory Burch, and the striped Reiss.

The much-anticipated Gap x Doen collection is out--and I want it all. Especially the jean jacket, above, which has button-cuffed balloon sleeves. I've been wearing mine like a shirt! I also love the about-to-sell-out denim dress, below, rendered in a quintessential figure-flattering Doen silhouette. Shop the collection here before it's all gone.
fast forward
Thursday, May 16A flight to Sydney, Australia right now would land me 17 hours--and 2 fashion seasons--ahead of Los Angeles time. Yes, that's right, it's nearly winter down under! And Vogue's Australian Fashion Week coverage is my time-travel ticket to my future wardrobe. What to keep/store/buy? Lace-trimmed slip skirts (this and this), baggy khakis (these! I have these!), big (Bottega) and small woven bags and statement-making vests (Dorothee Schumacher, Posse and Tove). Plus, trust me on this, an outfit-making brooch! Glad we still have months of summer ahead!

slip on
Wednesday, May 15
My perpetual wanderlust has spawned a growing stash of hotel slippers in my closet, all picked and packed to pass as The Row's $990 Frances house slippers, above. While none of them is crafted from fine silk terry or with soled with leather, they'll do--for now. That being said, I did buy myself a great dupe for The Row's already sold-out summer shoe--the Mara Flat--by Jeffrey Campbell, below, which believe it or not, is also nearly out of stock! They're hotel slipper-comfy and partner nicely with my new go-to white carpenter jeans from Pistola! Highly recommend!
