new finds
Monday, March 27
In case you're looking for a striking cover-up that could be worn way off the beach, I highly recommend the And Other Stories dress, above. Within minutes of wearing this new dress, I knew I had made the right choice, as multiple compliments reassured me the flowy silhouette was flattering and the color striking. (All good to know because I hadn't even looked in the mirror to vouch for myself before leaving the house!) Thanks to my friend Melissa, I also discovered the beyond chic Kule look, below, comprised of a do-it-all striped blouse and silk pareo-turned-skirt, also highly versatile! Plus, extra cool raffia from Zara and Cos for endless summer days!

the khaki skirt
Friday, March 24
Spring's secret weapon is the khaki skirt, which, if executed properly, skews less preppy, more polished. I, for one, appreciate its unexpectedness, along with its hard-working versatility. J.Crew's Olympia Gayot wears it to perfection (find it here), but these from Vince, Zara, and Mango, are also amazing. P.S. I like the idea of this statement pleated trench--to update any outfit!

pearls of wisdom
Wednesday, March 22
Along with my bikinis and pareos, I'll be packing some pearls for spring break. Big and bold ones that look modern (not matronly), unexpected and fun, as pictured above, or like these from Jennifer Behr, Maison Irem, Alexa Leigh and Sydney Evan. I also love the pre-layered Justine Clenquet, below.
spring in my step

Stylish New Yorkers springing ahead in their newest skin-baring shoes are inspiring me to follow in their footsteps--along with 55 degree-proof sheer tights (I just bought these for $25 but these also good!). As for the shoes, I love Leandra Cohen's forever-elegant sandals by The Row, below, and the pointy-toe Toteme slingback, above. Plus these by Miu Miu and Zara.

springing with sara
Monday, March 20
If there ever was an Instagram life I wanted to lead, it would be that of Paris-based Italian model Sara Ramen, who seemingly whips up gorgeous fig galettes with her eyes closed, flits between the Amalfi Coast, Paris and Australia, and wears nothing but the most desirable clothes. Fortunately for me, I can partake in her enviable wardrobe with an assist from Bergdorf Goodman, which is currently offering a slew of spring lovelies, many Sara-sanctioned at 25% off, including the Sir top, above, along with this stunning pearl-studded Alice & Olivia jacket, these Khaite jeans, this Ulla Johnson mini, this Agua by Agua Bendita dress.
