A solid button-down and matching short set will still be a staple this summer, but maximum- volume prints will take things up a notch--or five! I'm going loud and proud with the Farm Rio, above, and would love to jump into these by Alemais, Cleobella and Figue. Happy Weekend (and almost summer)!

With more in store, here are some terrific options from Sea New York, Doen and Miaou to buy right now and cruise for months to come!

Leandra Cohen describes this time of year as "Great Outfit Weather." I'd add that it's "Great Under-$250 Outfit Weather," not only because we're wearing less layers, but we can get away with less and look more polished. Proof in the pics, below.

New York-based beauty insider Mimi Nguyen is known for her always-perfect lipstick-puckered pout, so it's no wonder she totes accessories that also tactically pop. For spring, it's all about a zingy scarlet shade, employed via a ruby-hued bag with neutrals (a Cos blazer and Everlane jeans) or a red Zara leather string belt, below, styled with a vintage Hermes trench. I'm all in--not only with a new red lip--but head-to-toe, with the fringed Devon Windsor dress and red pants, both below.
There was a lot to take in at my son's pre-prom party on Saturday night: the giddy anticipation of all the parents gathered and jostling to get good photos; my son's good friends who looked almost unrecognizable, buttoned up in suits rather than baggy sweatshirts, and all the girls in short, sexy dresses. Although I can't pull off their leg-baring looks, I can age-adjust, with these summer-appropriate looks from Khaite, above, and below, from J.Crew (linen shorts), Self, And Other Stories and Doen. I also want to work this sequin Norma Kamali!
While showing up late and blaming traffic is an accepted LA behavior, I am driven to rectify my habitual tardiness. Or at least mitigate it with a throw–on-and-go dress that dazzles in a way that distracts from my unpunctuality. Such was the case last week when I showed up in this new ME +EM, which had nearly all my fellow garden lunch guests already deep into their first course pressing me about its provenance rather than, um, where I’ve been. I shared details about the dress–so comfortable, pairs with high or low heels, comes in blue–and that there’s more where it came from, like this, this, this and this. Hoping all these ME + EM options will keep me on time from now on!
