This cropped bow-tie tank is cuter than cute. And don't let its high-summer looks fool you...

1. Kate Spade Saturday tank,
2. A.P.C. camo jacket,
3. Chloe cross-body bag,
4. Givenchy sandals,
5. Michael van der Ham jacquard pants,

This gauzey, whisper thin top by Joe Fresh reminds me to savor the remaining days of summer. (Of course, I also can't help myself and look ahead to Joe Fresh's spot-on fall offerings, including this indispensable baseball , this cute faux fur and this striped denim .)

An instagram of a friend (she's a well-known stylist!) lounging in the Hamptons, decked out with just the right amount vintage costume jewelry inspired me to start piling on the baubles. I'd like to start with this sublime gem-laden collar necklace...

I love the opulent, vintage look of this floral print, and the idea of wearing it with something totally unexpected like this...

I'm thinking these subtle leopard print pants could sub in for my garden variety go-to black pants, don't you?

Just the sight of this summer-perfect clutch puts me in the mood for a festive evening out. (P.S. It's 50% off, along with a bevy of insane designer desirables at .)

Strange but interesting coincidence: not one but six (unrelated) friends of mine have recently invested in a bright orange bag. I think they're all on to something very good. This cute tote will let one in on it for under $100 bucks.

When I was in Athens, I popped into Mango, which was down the street from my hotel, and picked up a cute checked knit that was not only on sale, but previously featured on LE CATCH. But now I want this new crochet-trimmed (very Coco Chanel) metallic one, too. Gah!

I'm inclined to make a big statement in this pair of embellished French Connection shorts (that are on sale!)--along with the following lovelies...

I am a big believer in the simple white blouse and its forever fresh look. This one is boxy and loose-fitting, with a Chloe-esque vibe--qualities that make it suitable for just about everything on my summer agenda.
