LE CATCH

Ulla Johnson's consistently stunning streak of wanderlust-spirited designs has rightfully earned her a cult following. (See her latest drop here!) Of course, her signature look has also spawned less expensive lookalikes, and, you know what, it doesn't hurt to check them out: the ruffled maxi, above, is a knockout, with its batik print and floaty feel. Also compelling are these by Spell, Farm Rio, Zara, Roller Rabbit, Sika, and A.L.C.

Bring on the April showers!

Spring break kicks off today, and I am so ready to break away! I'm heading to Hawaii, where I plan to surf (in this and this) and beach in this Vix, Ulla Johnson, and Zara (below). Apres-sun, I'll play in the Goop stunner, above, and this floral Misa. I'm hoping to finally tear through this book and listen to this podcast. Expect dispatches from paradise! Aloha!

I recently discovered @parisiensinparis, an Instagram account that features Parisiens and their everyday, on-the-go style. Even with France's borders closed and Paris in another month-long lock-down (with restaurants, bars, cinemas, gyms, museums, theaters and concert halls closed!), it's inspiring to see the city's intrinsic chicness still prevailing. Some highlights here, along with the clutch items that are keeping it all afloat, such as Saint Laurent's must-have Le Maillon bag (second and last pic down), sleek sneakers (Nike, Reebok, New Balance), the made-for-layering denim jacket, a wear-over-everything Acne Studios long coat, and versatile boots (this, this and this).

Yes, it's OTT, but it's SO SO good.

The last time I was in Hawaii I went to a vintage store and scored some amazing vintage surfing t-shirts and sweatshirts. And now I'm hooked! I love how designers like Tory Burch, above, and Urban Outfitters, below, are now making vintage-inspired tops that essentially make an outfit! Other great finds come from Daydreamer, Madeworn Rock, and Mother.

Meet the fun new Gucci sandals that will be glued to my feet for months to come. I love their boldness and exuberance--a reflection of my own excitement to venture out and about!--and how they'll work with pretty much everything in my spring wardrobe! I also LOVE this iconic crossover pair!

Although Palm Springs is only a two-hour drive away from home, I felt like I was in another world this past weekend. Palm Springs sprung me deep into spring, complete with poolside lounging, dress wearing (above in Rixo, below in Love Shack Fancy, last pic in Mille), and sun basking. My sis and I hit vintage stores, furniture galleries, monumental Desert X exhibits, and a delicious off-the-beaten track vegan restaurant (Chef Tanya's Kitchen). We also gleaned some supermodel swimsuit cover-up tricks from fellow Parker Hotel guest Alessandra Ambrosio, who inspired us to tie our shirts around our waists like a sarong (this and this), and worked our gold necklace game (now I want this one by Laura Lombardi!) All in all, a fun re-charge for this long week ahead.

I'm heading to Palm Springs this weekend to check out Desert X and warm up my 80-degree weather wardrobe. Among the pieces packed in my getaway bag: the above Emerson Fry print blouse, the long Mango shirt dress, below (I'll button it up, throw the belt on and see some art in it too!), this Roxanne Assouline enamel necklace, these fun Seychelles slides (last pic), and this super cute Tory Burch dress which comes with a matching face mask! Have a great weekend!
