LE CATCH

I just scored this cute Frankie Shop dupe at The Gap. Yes, it's way less expensive and it comes in other cool colors, too!

$49, zara

This summer mandates more than one basket bag, BTW.

A Hunza G bikini and a matching cover-up set pretty much sums up my uniform on a recent girls' trip to Mexico! And I wasn't alone. All nine of us wore a Hunza G suit at one point--a testament to the line's universally-flattering and exceedingly comfortable attributes. There was lots of crochet on deck, too! (See below) I also brought this new mini and this one-shoulder, along! Of course, we dressed to the nines at night; Among the caliente highlights: this knockout Zimmerman, this floral print Mille, this Johanna Ortiz, this short and sweet Dolce & Gabbana (on sale!), the seductive Ulla Johnson, and this cute La Double J.

Within minutes of meeting jewelry designer Adina Reyter at San Vicente Bungalows for lunch, I took off the necklaces I was wearing and put on hers. And I haven't taken them off since! That was weeks ago. Adina has long been known for her elegant but everyday-ready baubles, but recently she started making these beautiful beaded necklaces, bracelets and hoops that are now all the rage in LA. They are custom designed, using myriad beads that range from colorful enamel to solid gold to pave diamond. They're so much fun to create and wear, and the options are endless. So, I invited my sister to the bead party to craft and chronicle our creations! See all the beauties we made and adore on @ouiwant, and, of course, shop all of Adina's jewels here. Save 20% on your purchase using the code OWAR20. And the bead goes on!

The Ciao Lucia dress that everyone wants to wear this summer (thanks to Kendall Jenner) can be found on sale at Shopbop, along with other amazing warm-and-sunny vacation-ready styles, including this sweet Moon River dress, these Arizona Love sandals, this crochet Misa skirt, these light-wash Closed jeans and this embroidered Free People top. Check out the whole enchilada here!

My niece loved this cute custom pave bracelet, which I gave to her as a graduation gift! (It looks far more expensive than its $58 price tag!) She's also extra pleased that her favorite aunt is wearing one, too.

And just like that everyone is now wearing their summer jeans--ones that look fresh and new! And some under $50, no less. Anouk Yve, above, is sporting loose and laid-back Uniqlo, while Chloe Allain, below, goes for a hibiscus- print Zara. Frenchies Leia Sfez sticks to classic Levi's but in an extra-long length; Same for Camille Charriere but in The Attico. Back here in NY and LA, Leandra Cohen suits up in patchwork Closed Official and Jen Azoulay in wide-leg, high-waist J.Crew. I am currently living in these just-bought pair from Madewell!

First these Boden raffia heels (for $190!) stopped in my online-shopping tracks. And then I discovered the flat sandal version (LOVE!), followed by the $180 belted print dress, below, and then this most stunning boho blouse, this vibrant print midi, and so on and so on...

I'm using this year's Mother's Day to basically make my teenage kids do the things I want to do with them that they don't necessarily want to do with me: go for a five-mile hike, play paddle tennis and picnic on the beach. (Plus, put down their phones the whole time, too!) I'm also self-indulging--and getting a jump-start, I might add--in Doen's Mother's Day sale, kicking off today, and snapping up all kinds or pretty, romantic-leaning pieces, such as the smocked waist dress, the super versatile button-down shirt dress, the chambray scallop-trimmed blouse, the billowy check print top, and the floral dress, all pictured. Shop the entire sale here!

$195, intermix

I'm taking this one-shoulder stunner on all my summer adventures, because it's sandal-to-sky-high heel versatile.
