staycation

 

It must be spring break in LA. The telltale signs are everywhere: a last-minute dinner reservation at the Beverly Hills Hotel is actually possible, Sunset to the 405 is suspiciously smooth, and my Instagram feed is a non-stop scroll of sun-drenched beaches and crochet (above). Not all of us have fled to Cabo or St. Barts, but who says we can’t fake that getaway vibe? Just throw on a glossy raincoat (below) over a pair of shorts or an Alex Mill windbreaker over a mini skirt a la Leandra Cohen, or a whisper of lace (oooh la la, Sea New York!) where clothing should be—and voilà, we’re living the balmy life right here at home. Other ideas: the Chloe jellies you can actually wear right now or the red flats pictured below, the Saint Laurent wood hobo bag, pictured (or this less expensive version), this sleek Theory boatneck top I promise will be on constant repeat, the lace Zara blouse that, if you squint, looks like Chanel, this striped freshly-cut Sold Out NYC t-shirt, the embellished Oseree one-piece (now with jeans and a blazer!).
