A summer trend is taking hold in my getting-warmer wardrobe in the form of a few new lace-up tops. Not sure what inspired it, but I'm loving the cool detailing and necklace-revealing perks. Above, the striped linen Anthropologie and below Guest in Residence-spirited rugby for $60! Both suitable on and off the beach!

Clearly, binge-watching Ripley is rubbing off on me. Detach the scarf to dial down the glam.

Okay, Cesta Collective, I'm completely sold on all your summer-perfect bags--especially the Taco Tote, above, and bow-trimmed Party Pail below--but I also want the South of France-chic stripes, retro sunglasses, crochet to go with! I love the vintage-looking pink and blue shirt, above, and I'd also like to take this gorgeous striped Johanna Ortiz one-piece and bikini, this lace-up striped rugby, white pleated linen shorts, a beaded mini, and long crochet dresses like this and this on my summer getaway, too. P.S Cesta bags are hand-crafted with locally sourced, renewable resources by artisans in Rwanda, Africa, whom are paid 500-700% times that national average salary!
My latest Substack is just out (hooray!) and it's about how I am preparing for several splashy occasions--one of which I'm not invited to. For those I've sent in my RSVP, you might see me showing up in the above $149 statement top from Antonio Melania x M.G. Style, or perhaps the $229 festive fringed dress, or the handkerchief-hem, below. See everything else fun (and affordable) I'm eyeing here! P.S. Shopbop just marked down a ton of spring styles (Missoni, Cara Cara, etc) up to 70%!

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.
