oh, oahu
Tuesday, April 5
Hawaii doesn't typically call for dressing up but the last few days celebrating my friend's milestone birthday warranted a parade of festive frocks! Hence my printastic La Double J, above, which lit up The Outrigger Canoe Club, the slinky cut-out Cult Gaia and mini striped shirt dress by Jen's Pirate Booty, below. I also packed this much-lauded ASTR The Label dress (for $148!), pleated Zara, this beach-to-street Cleobella, and this floral midi AFRM.
sunny sweaters
Tuesday, April 5
New York-based Sun Jang is weathering spring in the cutest lightweight knits--that even fly in steamy St. Barth's and Miami! Now those are some high-performing knits I need! The striped crochet short-sleeve cardigan, above, is from My Beachy Side, and the cashmere matching set, below, is by Demylee. Also cool-looking over a swimsuit: this H&M dress, this oversized Zara polo (last pic), this fringed And Other Stories, this Cos skirt, and this striped Monrow.

olympia's crew
Monday, April 4
J.Crew's head designer Olympia Gayot is successfully documenting the brand's new spring collection via her Instagram selfies, and I have to say, I'm finding it more compelling than flipping through the analog catalog. Her feed (and daily rotation) is selling me on every single just-launched piece, all pictured here and all 30% off with this code, including the forever-chic navy blazer, the collared striped sweater, the light-wash slim boyfriend jeans, these flattering linen trousers, the denim workwear jacket, above, the striped blazer, the laminated trench coat, the pistachio-hued chino suit, and the leather pendant necklace. I also adore her Celine shoes!

no fooling
Friday, April 1
No April Fool's joke here: this chic straw bag costs $35! This past week I also discovered these too-good-to-be-true finds from En Saison, Asos, Senso, Caterina Bertini and Justine Clenquet. Happy Weekend, all!
on the ball
Friday, April 1
Since I wear my hair back pretty much all the time, I try to mix up how I pull it back! Introducing my latest method: Alexa Leigh's bobble ball ponytail holder. They remind me of the hair ties I used to wear as a little girl--but the gold sheen adds some grown-up sophistication!
my spring jacket

No wonder everyone wants this Veronica Beard jacket for spring. It's cotton, designed to layer, and reversible! And crazy cute!
