spring jackets

 


In my latest Substack published yesterday(!) I shared a bunch of new, spring-fresh styling ideas, specifically layering two jackets. If you want the short-cut to this trend, I recommend the denim/nylon Sacai bomber, above. And take a look at these inexpensive lightweight and made-for-layering jackets from Topshop, Mango, Mille (all pictured below)

super rosy

 


My Waze app has me destined for Palm Springs to watch the women's semi'-finals tonight, but somehow I ended up in Paris this morning, thanks to Lou Rose Gaillot's super scrollable Instagram feed. I'm inspired how she's transitioning into spring, freshly in head-to-toe white denim, above, and accenting her winter holdovers (leather, shearling) with new telltale signs of warm and sunny. Thinking I could try this myself with either this or this. Other prime takeaways include Diotima-like crochet tops, straw tote bags, cropped jackets and open weave knits







new blues

 


A few new denim trends are blooming this spring, and I've already picked a bunch. I just bought the cropped, wide-leg Madewell jeans, above, distinct with its fold-over waistline and the gaucho-like denim shorts, below, that can be worn with heels and a blazer, too. Options include the pair by Anthropologie, below, Citizens of Humanity (my fave) and H&M. Then there's the ripped jean; Credit The Row for bringing them back big-time! This distressed pair by Re/Done hits the mark for me, because it's not too torn up. And the year-round white jean gets an update thanks to Zara with high-waist, wide leg and raw-edge hem.

spring sparkle

 

 

On my way home from Palm Springs last week, I popped into the Prada outlet and found lots of signature sparkle and sheen--at mostly signature prices. I left empty-handed, only to be compensated this week by my discovery of Xu Zhi, a former JW Anderson intern, whose sequin-filled collection brings Prada-like pop but at outlet-like prices (under $300). I especially love the organza-lined sequin skirt, above. In the same vein there's Jacques Wei's satin slip dress, below, and the more Miu Miu-esque studded ($188) shirt by Citizens of Humanity and this bow-trimmed Lingua Franca cardigan. Lots of miu-miu-la saved!

 



 

doing the polka

marlien rentmeester


I've been on the hunt since early December, when at a holiday party I bumped into a friend  wearing the prettiest polka dot dress. It was nipped in at the waist, with long billowy sleeves and neck ties that loosely hung down. The effect: elegant yet effortless. I couldn't place its provenance and wondered whether it was vintage. "No," my friend clarified. "It's by ME + EM." When I returned home that night I endeavored to buy the dress, but, alas, it was sold out. Since then, I’ve been stalking ME +EM for dresses that similarly effect polished but not precious, and I recently scored with the print, lace-trimmed skirt-and-blouse team and gathered-sleeve white dress, both of which can work on holidays abroad or at out and about at home, along with this exact-fit of the polka dot pretty but in solid black (woo hoo)! Wouldn’t mind adding a few more–this and this–to my new spring line-up, too. This post is in paid partnership with ME + EM.

spring stars

 

 

And the award goes to Shopbop today, for buffering our early morning alarms with a massive 20%-off sale, featuring newly-launched spring stars! As in thousands of options, all so good and understandably selling fast! There's the oversized Ganni jacket, this outfit-making Frame belt, these staple Loeffler Randall ballet flats, this 3.1 Phillip Lim dress, the scalloped Citizens of Humanity blouse, below and the Bembien woven bucket bag ($200). Also, who needs jeans? Seriously, who doesn't (at 20% off)? I love these by Re/Done, Closed and Mother. The swimwear selection is also staggering--just in time for spring break. Check it all out here!




prada-miu-miu

 


Prada's invitation to tonight's party at Luna Luna (Drake is performing!) is fraught with anticipation--and what-to-wear anxiety. I have eight hours and thirty minutes to figure out my outfit. I'm thinking, duh, Prada (specifically this or this). But then again everyone's going to be in Prada! In my dreams, I'd be wearing sister brand Miu Miu's just-walked-the-runway embellished jacket, above (I can already see the Zara version in my mind's eye and, tee hee, in my closet), and the brand new, must-have rope slingback sandals, below. However, you know me, always happy to go the derivative route, as in this and this. I'll keep you posted on what happens! Happy Friday!
