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!

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

boden hour
Wednesday, March 30
I was delighted to discover Boden's new summer drop: a surprisingly good, spot-on mix of fun, bohemian prints with an Elder Statesman meets Lemlem meets La Double J vibe! Case in point: this ruffle dress, this striped maxi, this palm print cashmere sweater, this vibrant shirt dress, and this floral mini!

Monday, March 28
Right after I mistook a friend's Reformation top, above, for Khaite at a party the other night, I bee-lined online to buy one, but alas, it's sold out in black, so I bought the white version that will get me through summer and then some!
