warm weather wear

Thanks to my recent trips to tropical climes, I've reacquainted myself with summery clothing, and the ones I'm liking best go everywhere without breaking a sweat. I'm talking plane-to-train-to-automobile tops, breathable trousers, day-to-night shorts, sandals that work with beach tunics and cocktail dresses. These are the season's most versatile and reliable pieces, and it happens that loads of them are 25% off today (along with pretty much everything else through April 9!) at Shopbop courtesy of their Friends & Family Sale--get code here! Seriously, people, this is the time to stock up on all things sunny and 80-degrees! Here's what I'm loving: these party-ready lace-up Aquazurra heels, this knockout Mara Hoffman maxi dress, these cute L'Agence denim shorts, this work-to-weekend Splendid lace-up blouse, this breezy lace Madewell top (similar to above), this chic canvas Hershel Supply weekend bag, these metallic gladiator sandals, and this sexy PilyQ halter bikini.
