LE CATCH

$24, loft

Me and my clutches. You know I can never have enough. The stripes and poms poms got me here. But there's more! It's reversible: the other side features a pretty paisley print. Two-for-one cuteness.

A bright shoe has been a trend for awhile, but the options are getting brighter and bolder. I have been paying more attention lately, as it looks like fun. It's clear that, if you choose, you can let your feet alone do all the talking this spring via these playful print heels. The crazier, the better! The trick to pulling this off is to keep the rest of your outfit clean and simple. Here are some of my faves from Sophia Webster, Tory Burch (want desperately!), Isa Tapia* (with a super wearable heel, no less!), Steve Madden and Dolce & Gabanna.

With the wedding circuit quickly approaching, I'm thinking it wouldn't hurt to have this striking one-shouldered dress in the arsenal. Designed by former Vogue editor and current celebrity stylist Kate Young, it hits all the right notes: fun, feminine and fabulously inexpensive.

This weekend's annual music festival-cum-fashion fest drew out all the usual sartorial suspects: flowy ethnic print dresses, fringed bags, cropped tops, motorcycle boots, statement sandals and kooky sunglasses. I rounded up a handful of my favorite looks (click here and here for more pics), along with a few signature Coachella staples, which could easily be integrated into summer wear, such as this hippie-chic, attention-getting print dress, a beaded statement-making pair of Isabel Marant sandals (featured in the last pic, below) a seriously beautiful embroidered jacket, and a good old pair of (not too short!) distressed denim cut-offs.

A colorful, eye-popping print makes this warm-weather basic anything but. Give it a whirl with...

When I saw this dress, I immediately thought of a preppy-leaning, stripe-obsessed friend of mine. It's perfect for her (for summer parties, work events, etc.). I started to email her about it...but then I thought, no, it's so cute, I should buy it for myself. To make amends for this selfish act, I am now moved to share it with her and all of you after all. Not many sizes left. Hurry.

A recently purchased pair of Joie silk sweatpants (pictured above) has all of a sudden become one of my wardrobe's VIP's. Comfy yet sleek, they sub in for my go-to jeans. They go everywhere from the market to dinners out (with heels, of course). I'm thinking about getting a back-up, so this new staple doesn't get so used and abused. The most compelling option I've discovered thus far is this pair with a drawstring by Target(!). At $24, I can actually stock up!

I was apprehensive about spring's sheer trend until I came across this Topshop lace skirt, which manages to be a whole lot of things at once: subtly sexy, very feminine, slightly retro (thanks to its A-line silhouette), super elegant (with tinges of Chanel and Dolce & Gabbana), thoroughly wearable, and perfectly on trend.

It seems round sunglasses are proliferating as quickly as spring pollen. They're everywhere I look. And it's no wonder: they instantly (and in some cases inexpensively) update any outfit and flatter most face shapes (oblong, square, heart, etc.) I like these cool pairs for $20-$55 from Madewell, Warby Parker (in tortoise) and Asos, and in the $200+ price range from Stella McCartney (similar to above, or in black) and Illesteva.

$48, oasis

Gwyneth Paltrow was nearly ubiquitous in LA last week, promoting her new cookbook, "It's All Good" (which is indeed good--I used it to cook my son's birthday dinner last week). She wore lots of short dresses and short shorts but what really stood out were her Michael Kors neon heels. They seem to have the effect of making already tanned, toned legs look even more tanned and toned--and I am thinking these everyday sandals might yield the same.
