LE CATCH

Climbing to the top of spring's hit list: the wrap skirt. This feminine silhouette is endlessly versatile, day-to-night wearable and practically heat-proof. For me, it's my new go-to warm-weather staple. I like these iterations from Citizens of Humanity (pictured above), J.Crew, Rebecca Taylor, Lisa Marie Fernandez, Ulla Johnson and Maje.

Yesterday I indulged in an early Mother's Day celebration--organic manicures, FaceLove massages (#bestever), Style Rituals crystal readings, mimosas and matcha lattes--thanks to Goop and Net-a-Porter. I also had the pleasure of sporting my new summer-ready linen jumpsuit, which turned out to be a crowd pleaser! I'd like to load up on more of these one-and-done wonders, so I sourced some more good ones from Asos (also this one), See by Chloe, Anthropologie, Monki, Apiece Apart and Warm.

When I met some friends for dinner last week at the newly opened (and crazy delicious) Pizzana, we all (yes, all four of us) showed up wearing green army jackets. I wasn't embarrassed or mortified, as this staple is a rock solid choice no matter how many people are wearing it. However, it got me thinking about any possible twists on the standard issue girl-army-jacket. Lo and behold the next day, I saw this Instagram snap: Leandra Cohen, above left, sporting a J.Crew men's camoflage version. I like that the print is more vibrant and abstract than traditional camo and yet equally versatile. And this version might just help me stand out from the crowd a little! You can find it here. (I also like the Diane Von Furstenberg dress Leandra is wearing underneath her camo!)

Though I've had lots of practice dressing for summer recently, I'm still up for additional remedial help. Enter: Love by Natsu's Instagram, rife with A-game summer style inspiration. I especially love her use of robes in lieu of traditional cover-ups and one-piece bathing suits that--voila!--double as tops. Also in her distinctly cool mix are billowy, romantic dresses, high-waist cropped jeans, structured basket bags, and wide-brim hats. I'd like to integrate some her style signatures into my warm weather wardrobe starting with this Double J off-the shoulder dress (similar to above), this Realisation ruffle blouse (pictured below), this statement-making Lisa Marie Fernandez swim suit (last pic; I bought this less expensive version, and I also like this slightly more subtle one), these punchy yellow Stuart Weitzman slides (third pic down), these high-waist Re/Done jeans, this structured basket tote bag by Indego Africa, this crochet-trimmed Anna Kosturova kimono, and this super chic sun-shielding Carlson hat.

I did a fun shoot with uber cool NYC-based clothing line La Ligne a few weeks ago and thought I'd share the results: playful pics, a quick Q&A (in which I reveal surprising personal secrets!) and the lowdown on my sparkly, party-ready outfit, above. Check it all out here. P.S. I'm currently craving La Ligne's stripe-accented camo jacket and day-to-night statement dress.

A bounty of amazing, I-can't-believe-it's H&M clothing just debuted today--and, I'm telling you, it's all worth checking out! For starters, there's the Conscious Exclusive collection, which is creatively rendered from organic and recycled materials. My favorite pieces include this silk romantic dress, above, this glittery jacquard weave mini skirt, this floaty, delicate blouse, and this gorgeously textured strapless dress. Additional inexpensive greatness: this hot pink tiered dress, this lace-trimmed pinstriped blouse, these easy tie-waist trousers, this print bikini, and this sexy lace bodysuit.
