LE CATCH

If you're a fan of Toteme (hello, who isn't?), then I recommend you check out the fresh assortment of discounted offerings at The Outnet. I found scores like the blazer, above, and the bralette, below. Also noteworthy: this linen boucle jacket, this fluted crepe skirt and this double-breasted blazer.

As winter nights are already shortening, so is the hemline on my coat. Spring's must-have cropped jacket is already in full-tilt rotation. Not to mention it’s a terrific way to show off an outfit that may have otherwise been covered up by a full-length coat. I love these iterations from Sacai, And Other Stories, Loewe, Theory and Prada (pretty please?!) I also just snapped up this H&M leather gem (that has an unmistakable Khaite-like aura).

Post-pandemic Zara's more mature and sophisticated sister brand Massimo Dutti launched a runway-inspired line to further elevate and refine its signature elegant look. This season it seems to be hitting its stride, with sleek, timeless sweaters, crisp denim, tailored jackets, all styled with (The Row-like) sandals and classic (and also this very minute) penny loafers. IMHO, it's uncontrived everyday-dressing perfection. My faves include the below styles: the cool high- V-neck sweater, the textured cardigan-meets-jacket, this leather blazer, and the straight mid-waist jeans.

Lunch with my Australian girl friends always get me into a happy groove, and yesterday was no different at Neuehouse in Venice Beach. We talked about everything from wellness hacks to new must-listen podcasts. They also turned me on to Ephemera, an irresistibly cute Australian resort line that belongs in my warm-weather wardrobe stat! I am confident that some of these pieces--such as the print midi, the mix-and-match bikinis and suits and cover-ups--would also put you into a happy groove! See more here!

I'm loving The Reformation's two-for-one sets

They say it's the year of the skirt. Long and short lengths are equally on trend, so there is something for everyone. For style inspo, I'm looking to Paris-based stylist Sylvie Mus, who is mastering every iteration, from a denim pencil skirt (by Mango!) to a silk midi (Reformation) to a leather mini (J.Crew). And, oh, sequins, too! I'd like to execute this trend with this Cos denim skirt, this crochet Sea (that I'd wear with boots now and a tank top in the summer), this asymmetrical satin Vince and the wool By Malene Birger maxi (second to last pic).

This morning I took a quick trip to the land of warm and sunny via model Lily Aldridge's Instagram account. For the last few days, she's been soaking up the sun and sea--in enviable style. I'm loving her striped Posse swimsuit, above, her Le Kasha knitted dress, her Posse red maxi, and, her Prada bag, which I found on sale here!

Right now there are several open tabs (read: shopping carts) on my laptop browser and they all share one thing in common: stylish minimalism at a bare minimum. Take a look for yourself at the cashmere wide-cuff H&M, above, for $150, the Toteme-inspired double-breasted wool coat ($200), the And Other Stories asymmetric buttoned cardigan ($150), the relaxed-chic Frankie Shop trousers ($225) , and Everlane's cute (and endlessly versatile) cropped cargo jacket ($148).

The sun is finally shining again in LA, and all I can think about is spring and the clothes to go with! I'm hankering for easy breezy yet balmy-ready pieces--essentially Posse's new collection, featured here on my favorite Danish twin models Cecilie and Amalie Moosgaard! I love the throw-on-and-go looks, above, here and here, along with the striped strapless top, linen trousers, button-up vest and mini shift dress, all below and each priced less than $300. Spring ahead right this way!
