My NYC-based friend and fellow Substacker Lilly Sisto just kicked off her summer in Europe and already she's radiating that distinctly opulent (and very enviable) Mediterranean-steeped glow. Barcelona, it seems, has her painting the town in red, above, specifically in this Derek Lam dress (I like this less expensive iteration here or in navy blue here) and these Reformation sandals. I'm so tempted to crash her vacay and bring on the Euro-summer aesthetic with this linen lace-up English Factory mini, this divine lace Zimmermann and this happy-print Rails! And for the beach club, the Anthropologie lace cover-up, below.

These Miu Miu-spirited sandals from Free People ($98) just waltzed into my weekend plans! Along with this H&M ruffled dress (a total Khaite dupe!) and the jersey Ulla, below. Sauntering in by June: the red bow-trimmed (Prada-like) TKEES ($90), the fringed canvas Topshop tote, and the polka dot Mango corset top. Let's get summer started, shall we?

dive in
Wednesday, May 22
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.
