LE CATCH

I can just see myself sitting down at some sceney seaside restaurant this summer and spotting these never-been-seen-before Louis Vuitton sandals on a woman at the table next to me--and coveting them! Wanting to ask if the sandals are current or past season and not having the guts to do so. So I am going to save myself from this future triggering situation and splurge on them for myself. My inner peace has already thanked me. ;)

A friend of mine texted me the other morning, cryptically pleading, "I need your help." Concerned, I immediately replied back, asking if she was okay. Turned out she needed my help finding her some versatile clothes to take to Europe this summer! Phew! I'm coming to the rescue with these (under $200!) options pictured here: the striped mini, above, the linen jumpsuit, below, the crochet halter, the braided trim denim midi and Ulla-ish print dress. All of these looks are day-to-night wearable. I'd throw on a slightly oversized white blazer (this or this) with each of these looks to dress them up. I'd also pack these highly-functional styles from Vince, Alex Mill, Staud, Ann Taylor, and Natalie Martin.

Of course, I dipped right in and snagged the gorgeous ruffle-trimmed striped wrap dress, above. (It also comes in cream!). Also amazing: this pretty print puff-sleeve dress, this dramatic broderie anglaise blouse, these summer-chic cotton twill shorts, and this floral mini. Shop it all here.

I must confess that a summer pant doesn't roll off my tongue quite as naturally as a summer dress, but I know once I have the right pair, I will be a fluent wearer. I might even buy more than one! And I won't be alone. Parisian Leia Sfez, above, is inspiring me with her pleated trousers by Loulou Studio, while Kaia Gerber, below, is running around in The Reformation, which is making them in SEVEN different colors! Meanwhile, over in Europe, The Frankie Shop trousers (under $200), second to last snap below, are taking over the streets. Anouk Yve sports a super versatile pair by Cos (last pic). I also love these by Veronica Beard .
