This swingy, easy top suits my kick-back-and-relax mood perfectly.

The crisscross lace-up detailing that defined Dior's Fall 2014 collection will be everywhere this spring (more on this trend to come!), and I'd like to jump on it now with this poised-to-be-a-staple white blouse.

A match made in heaven: black and white boucle stripes with unfinished edges.

This sporty-chic color-blocked leather top makes a completely cool winter statement.

A few weeks ago, friends of mine told me they were planning to host a '70s-themed party at Aspen's Cloud Nine, a rollicking fun, dance-on-the-tables, champagne-dripping-from-the-ceiling lunch spot atop Aspen Highlands Mountain. Of course, I loved this idea and even plotted my outfit (all before having an actual plane ticket to Colorado in hand!): a pair of swirly-print Pucci ski pants, a skintight turtleneck, and a rainbow-bright ski vest! But as luck would have it, the hosts are now thinking '80s (and Vuarnets, neon)--and thus (though I still can't wait for the party!) I've been left looking for somewhere else to focus my '70s mojo. Fortunately, I have not had to look far, as the Spring '15 looks from designers like Chloe, Prada, Gucci, and Stella McCartney, are all about re-interpreting the free love era's best (and slinkiest!) silhouettes, chief among them the tie-neck blouse. It looks a lot cooler and sexier than its '70s-secretary predecessor. Take, for example, Chloe's gorgeous pre-fall version, pictured above, with slightly sheer billowy sleeves. (P.S. Also note how it's tied around the neck!) With so many designers successfully executing this soon-to-be-a-staple now, I'd like to get the party started with these elegant lovelies from (which my twin just bought and I plan to steal!), (also work-appropriate), (40% off), , , and .Photo:

This glittery clutch boasts a distinctly glam, right-now-chic Edie Parker-esque vibe--along with an absurdly reasonable price!

I love this luxe take on the grey sweatshirt--and how it would offer (consecutive) days of style and comfort.

It's as festive as a fancy frock but has the laid-back ease of a t-shirt. Genius in my book.

I am obsessed with this superglam cardigan that I bought on Friday in New York. I've been wearing it (non-stop) like this...

This bohemian-chic cardigan is winter's best (and coziest) answer to all my summery embroidered tunics.
