2. Vanessa Bruno blazer,

3. Cleobella clutch,

4. Chloe wedges,

Net-a-Porter Magazine recently asked me what my ideal summer day dress is, and here's my answer. It's light, breezy, and simple--and can take me from the beach to a barbecue. I'd work it on a scorcher with...

1. Alice and Olivia dress,
2. Forever 21 straw fedora hat,
3. Calypso woven bucket tote,
4. Madewell gladiator sandals,

No, it's Zara. As my three-year-old would say: Cool, right? I just love the combination of the chain link strap and the old world-looking etched silver case. Very unusual and unexpected, all of which adds up to keeper.

Call me crazy, but summer often still qualifies as sweater weather in my book. An air conditioned office can be uncomfortably Arctic, and in LA, no matter the season, the nights are often cool. That's why I'm thinking this neutral-matches-everything-studded cardigan is a very good call. Wear it with...

1. Topshop sleeveless blouse,
2. Warehouse studded cardigan,
3. Accessorize satchel,
4. Zara booties,
5. Chloe denim trousers,

I asked LA bag designer and my friend Clare Vivier to monogram this new striped clutch she's just come out with. Doesn't it look great? Clare is opening a new, bigger store in Silver Lake later this week--a testament to her huge and ever-growing success. The spacious boutique will feature her entire collection of leather, zipper-trimmed bags and accessories, plus one-of-a-kind pieces. Everyone must check it out!

We were on the barbecue circuit this past weekend and indulged in all the yummy usuals, from smores to grilled salmon. Tis the season. My casual barbecue uniform invariably includes sandals (there's nothing worse than sinking your stilettos in the grass!) and a cute, eye-catching top, like this bold yellow one from J. Crew. I'd wear it with..

1. J. Crew pom pom top,

2. Tory Burch cardigan,

3. Ann Taylor sequin clutch,

4. Miu Miu sandal,

5. J. Brand jeans,

TGIF. This is what I want to wear all weekend, every weekend this summer, along with the sand in between my toes. (P.S. The bikini is reversible. How good is that?) Enjoy!

2. M Missoni reversible bikini,
3. Love Sam embroidered blouse,
4. Madewell woven bag,
5. Rada fringe sandals,

One word: wow. This teal maxi-dress is a big night out at its best, and the under $200 price tag can't be beat. (Perhaps that is why it sold out before I could post this! They do restock though, so perhaps it will reappear. It also comes in white--very Grecian elegant--and is available now here.) Put on your dancing shoes and wear it with...

1. T-Bags jersey dress,

2. Bauble Bar earrings,

3. Zara clutch,

4. Stuart Weitzman feather sandals,

Ahhh... warm summer days are upon us. Time to bust out the cute, easy dresses, like this one, which bears a vivid ethnic print. I'd breeze around in it with...

1. Monsoon dress,

2. Topshop sunglasses,

3. Tory Burch fringed raffia clutch,

4. Madewell platform sandals,
