LE CATCH

Anyone else scrambling for a last-minute Father's Day gift? I'm asking for a friend! ;) I do have some good ideas up my sleeve though, with some of them rendering mutually beneficial payoffs. Take, for example, Surfrider Hotel's Malibu candle, which will transport him to a beautiful big-wave day at Third Point (and make your house smell like heaven)! Also great: GrillKilt, an innovative grilling apron-meets-tool belt that holds grilling accessories, facilitates cooking and will make him like grilling even more! Read: less slaving over the stove. Then there's the self-cleaning water bottle, Larq, which, believe it nor not, purifies the water inside every two hours. Want to go all out? How about The Art of Ping Pong's wall-mounted table, above?! It looks like a piece of art on your wall and then comes down for fun and action. Yes, please!!

For me, nothing screams summer more than a little lace. It's a light, delicate, and sexy flourish that goes a long (stylish) way in warm weather. I love Sezane's new silk, high-collar blouse, above, and also these pretty options from Farm Rio, River Island, Alice & Olivia, Ulla Johnson (on sale), and Love Shack Fancy.

Thank you, Zara, for making my summer style a breeze with high-impact shorts. Plus great tops to go with. I love the embroidered pair, above, the print blouse, below, these bandana-print short (and matching top), these gingham pair (and top) and this Pucci-spirited pair.

Everyone seems to be on the floral bikini bandwagon this summer, and I am happy to jump on board. I'd like to make waves in these beauties from Frankies Bikinis, Agua Bendita, Minkpink, Reina Olga, and Target (similar to above). Happy Summer Weekend!

This reminds me: I could use a major statement blouse this summer--one that works equally well with casual daytime shorts and date-night jeans. LA-based Jazy Goh has this rare top nailed (above and below). I also sourced these goodies from Ulla Johnson, Veronica Beard, Shoshanna, plus And Other Stories.

How will I be summering? In easygoing, lightweight dresses, of course. Thankfully, my current faves are also easy on the wallet. They include the cut-out And Other Stories, above, the slinky H&M, below, this puff-sleeve Nasty Gal, this mini print Zara, this 0ne-shoulder Shein, and this backless linen Pixie Market.

Okay, Lauren Santo Domingo, we all want some of what you're having this summer! Starting with your Ciao Lucia striped sweater , above, and your black strappy, wear-with-everything A. Emery sandals. Thankfully, she's opened up her closet to all of us, which we can shop here!
