I am seriously impressed with Christopher Kane’s prints, which are like wearable art. I love his use of clouds to reveal multiple dramatic colors. I especially dig his atomic t-shirt. What do you think?!

If I had $1500 to spend now, this is what I’d buy. Philip Lim’s cashmere and silk sweater is soft and elegant with modern, cool details while the butterfly shorts are trendy with a retro silhouette. The Persol sunglasses fold in the center and stems and the Foley & Corinna purse is the perfect color for spring, summer and fall. Hello weekend!

When I think of summer dressing, I think of light and airy, with touches of gold and sea blues. I adore the breeziness of this Joie dress, especially when contrasted with this colorful Ikat bag. The best outfits tend to be a mix of high and low, vintage and new. (Note: “high” to me is a $250 dress. Anything couture I’ll probably just call “the unaffordable” or “the dream on”.)
