I packed well but not enough for this past holiday weekend at home in the Hamptons with my family. A new Doen dress, above, made a splash at a beach club lunch, followed up with the strapless floral Coco Shop, a Matteau silk shirt (that scored a zillion compliments!), and an eyelet Veronica Beard shirtdress. By the last day, to avoid a repeat performance, I ended up wearing a white cotton pajama top with my Madewell jeans to a beach party! It actually looked okay, however, if I could do it all again, I'd bring this super chic seersucker Polo Ralph Lauren pajama top to pull off the same trick, but even better, along with this new sculpted tube dress by House of Dagmar, this Saloni vest, this Chloe belt (to cinch in my floaty H&M dresses!) and these embroidered drawstring Rails pants.

holiday travel
Wednesday, July 3
According to the news, 71 million Americans are expected to travel 50 or miles for the 4th. I've covered some distance this morning, via in-roads on the World Wide Web. My online sleuthing, took me to Banana Republic, where there'a an almost shocking amount of spot-on pieces, including the asymmetric skirt, above, linen jumpsuit, oversized t-shirt, paperbag shorts, fringed tank--all looks I could see myself wearing this long holiday weekend. Then I turned north on to The Reformation to check out its just-out collaboration with Brock. I'm loving the belted frill-neck dress, below. From there, I hooked a right to Anthropologie and ran into the strapless stunner, below. And then I ended up in the undiscovered territory of sporty shorts and ballet flats, together (last two pics). I like this look, starting now, with this and this. Happy 4th, everyone! Be safe!

I've been on the fence about wearing a strapless top this summer, but Nicole Ritchie, above, just convinced me I can bare my shoulders with elegance. Her sculptural Khaite top looks evening ready with a pair of jeans. Meanwhile Paris-based stylist Sylvie Mus, below, does it daytime, ever so simply! I am now ready to shoulder through summer in these beauts from H&M, ($9!) last pic, this striped and stretchy English Factory and this ruched and designed to flatter Ganni.

If you're wondering what to pack for Ibiza this summer, maybe don't reference Jade Jagger and Kate Moss in their bohemian, barely-there cocktail dresses dancing barefoot on the sand. Look instead to Linda Tol, who's currently on island and up-to-date dressed in easygoing, pared-down pieces. In rotation: flared denim shorts by Source Unknown, black leather (that go with everything!) TKEES sandals, a breezy black maxi by Faithfull the Brand, Loewe's "I Told Ya" t-shirt (same idea but less pricey), a pleated A-line Cos dress, an embroidered and bow-embellished Ganni midi, Le Monde Beryl Mary Jane flats, and a yellow bubble mini skirt, now on sale at Zara. What's wonderful is that all these pieces would work swimmingly off island, too. Inspired by her easygoing vibe, I'd like stay-at-home vacay in this satin mini, this strapless Proenza Schouler, and this Farm Rio wrap skirt.

I did that annoying thing at lunch yesterday with a friend: I looked past our table, over my friend's shoulder, tuned out what she was saying and focused on someone else's outfit instead. She rightfully called me out, but then I pointed to what stole my attention and all was forgiven, because she also started staring and we both decided we needed the same summery look, pronto. Coincidentally, this same outfit--the Toteme set, above (also here)-- appeared on my Instagram this morning, which may just cause you to double-take as well! Other outfits stealing my attention today include the following: the Marie Lichtenberg necklaces with the bandana-print Call It By Your Name blouse, the red and white woven Nagehdi tote, the drop-waist St. Agni dress and embellished raffia Alaia bag, the striped Miu Miu bag and tie puff-sleeve Ganni top, the paisley Zimmermann blouse and the Larissa Mills x NA-KD lace-trimmed set. Happy Weekend!
