When I spontaneously spring-cleaned my closet(s) on Sunday morning, I had no idea I'd be able to replenish today with all sorts of new sunny pretties at a discount, thanks to Shopbop's just-launched Style Event. (Get up to 25% off sitewide with the code STYLE through 4/17). The sale is teeming with approximately 2800 gorgeous dresses to compliment my future sun-kissed glow, such as the rickrack Sea New York, above left, plus these soiree-ready lovelies from Sea, Zimmermann, Xirena, and Scotch & Soda. There are also everyday statements on offer, such as these perfect Khaite jeans, this Clare V bucket bag, these Nili Lotan trousers, and these Proenza Schouler mules. You can also find the fun floral Cara Cara shirt I'm wearing, below! Check it out here!

For me, warmer weather usually comes with the challenge of finding the newest and cutest pair of white jeans. This season is proving trickier than usual as the current must-have silhouette is distinctly baggier and looser-fitting. I'm good with this new relaxed fit and its inherent ease and comfort--but I won't wear it unless it's 100% flattering! Thankfully, there are a few options that manage to tick the trend box and compliment my figure. They include these loose-but-not-too-loose pairs by Grlfrnd, Khaite, Anine Bing, Levi's, and The Row.

Courtney Grow is weathering New York's heat wave, no sweat, in a sized-up, roomier-fitting Khaite, above, and inspiring me to stock up on all things sunshine-ready, including the new monogrammed Mark and Graham straw hats, below, the rattan Serpui clutch, the denim Reformation dress, and the Gap shirt, all below. Now, if only the sun would shine in LA!

The true cuteness of these Jeffrey Campbell jelly slides is thoroughly realized upon comfortably slipping your foot inside. And, yes, it's a dead ringer for Gucci--all for $44! Added bonus: this bit-hardware sandal comes in other compelling colors, like red, black and beige. I am seriously contemplating buying them all!

I tend to wear jewelry that does not need to be taken off every day or even every year. My favorite go-to designer Adina Reyter makes the rare, beach-to-black-tie pieces that I live in and leave on! I just added a new spring statement to my steadfast line-up: the colorful enamel beaded choker, above, that also boasts unexpected glints of diamonds. I love how it sparkles with the other myriad beads around my neck--and fetches lots of compliments. Should you too want in on this bling ring, you can custom design your own necklace (or bracelet or a preset version) with colorful enamel, solid gold, pave diamond beads and charms and save 20% on any purchase through April 17 with the code LeCatch20. They're so much fun to create, and the options are endless and endlessly wearable!

Some people believe that hemlines rise and fall with stock prices. The theory is called the hemline index, and that skirts get shorter in good economic times. Well, I hope summer's mini dress trend portends a future bullish market! My strategy is to invest now and add a few high-yield options to my portfolio, starting with the Valentino on crazy sale, below, this Zara (similar to dress, above), Jonathan Simkhai, Arianne Elmy, Saint Laurent and Goldsign.

Cos's signature sleek and minimal (and under $250!) silhouettes are singing my name this spring, particularly the Celine-like sandals, above. Plus: the ruffled maxi, the asymmetrical sheath, the pleated midi skirt, and the eyelet tank dress. Check out the latest line-up here.

Not at all pajama pants are created equal. Translation: some should never leave the bedroom! However, there are a few (key word!) that are acceptable for wearing out of the house. Case in point: the pair above by Madrid-based Nutka Studios and below by Kivari the Label. I also love these by Desmond and Dempsey (size up for a loose fit), Maison Essentiale, La Double J, and Sleeper. All weekend-ready!
