Loving how my friend Frannie takes up a trench coat with an unexpected gold link belt (like this and this), above, and vintage. Perfect for yet another grey day in LA!

There aren't too many moments in time to mix short shorts with a long trench coat--except all of spring! Take advantage of the mixed seasonal weather and piecemeal an outfit with a faint whiff of winter and a statement-making smidge of summer. Hedvig Opshaug shows us the way with Max Mara shorts and a COS trench coat, above. I'm working things with this new nothing-underneath cable knit Helsa cardigan, below, and these denim shorts.

While I was sleeping deeply last night, it seems everyone else was shopping! I woke up to the just-launched and already completely sold-out Rokh x H&M collection, which included, woe is me, the extremely cool cropped jacket and skirt, above! Also nearly all snapped up: Loewe Paula's Ibiza collection, the annual 70s'-steeped capsule filled with statement-making raffia shorts and ruffled totes, below. But not to worry! There's still some gorgeousness up for grabs in COS' Atelier collection such as the perforated leather coat and the hooded fishnet maxi (both below), along with desirables from the latest JW Anderson x Uniqlo collab, like the cropped white jacket (last pic) and this do-it-all linen wrap skirt! Get on it!

Warm weather typically ushers in easy-breezy dressing but this summer's go-to outfits will be basically effortless, thanks to trending one-and-done, loose-fitting silhouettes. Carla Ferrer, a model and architecture student already basking in 80-degree sunshine in Valenica, Spain, provides a tutorial via recent Instagram snaps, featuring lightweight, drawstring-trousers specifically these and these, striped Sezane shirts (above), crochet button-downs (I also LOVE this and this long-sleeved!) and shorts, simple but statement-making and go-with-everything tank tops and puff-sleeve dresses (Farm Rio and Ulla Johnson--use the code MarlienRentmeester10off for 10% off sitewide!). Summer, here we come!

If you ever wanted a taste of LA style, I recommend you dine in one of the velvet banquets at Farmshop in Brentwood. The scene is a veritable runway of chic du jour: baseball hats and blazers, capris and pointy-toe flats, leggings and lace. Speaking of, I found my own new lace to fit in with the crowd: H&M's eyelet blazer, above (size up!) and Anthropologie's lovely, below.
