I call them my statement staples. Dramatic and outfit-punctuating, they take a pair of jeans across the finished-dressing line within seconds. They get me out the door quickly and efficiently. And I can't get enough of them! I just scored a few more: the striped Staud above, the fringed Christopher Esber, the Sea New York one-and-done lace trimmed dress and the scarf top, below.

This Monday morning in May has me running ahead of clockwork, thanks to Shopbop's "Summer Sale." Yep, that's right: tons of hot-off-the-press pieces are (already!) up to 40% off. Justification for my buy-in: the Ulla Johnson dress ($252), above, the Johanna Ortiz bag and Cult Gaia mini, below, these rope-trimmed Beek sandals, these AGOLDE trouser shorts, the fringed Rabanne skirt, and the crochet Eleven Six dress, last pic. Stock up at the sprawling two-day sale here!
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)!

Chanel's Resort 2025 collection, which debuted on a Marseilles rooftop today, offered a peek into upcoming trends (peplum tops, choker necklaces, shift dresses) and cemented ones already in locked in for this summer, namely crochet and lace. 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.
