LE CATCH

To freshen up my spring wardrobe, I'm turning to @leasy_inparis, above, who makes it a breeze. She simply sticks to the basics--t-shirts, wide-leg, high-waist jeans, crisp button-downs and a trench coat--to effortlessly chic effect. It's pared back and minimalist and yet powerfully cool and classic. I like! These long-cut Levi's are her go-to's (also here), but she also has these and these in her quiver, along with buttoned-down-to-there shirts from Figaret Paris, and boxy tees by Velvet and The Reformation.

I'm loving the big-collar-with-gold-jewelry look right now. It's a stylish yet simple everyday combo. LA jewelry designer Kendall Conrad makes a huge ring statement, below, and same with Mango, last snap, which serves up both the top and baubles. (Tous earrings, above.) Net-a-Porter is also staging a 15% off sale right now, with great options like this Laura Lombardi necklace, these Simone Rocha initial earrings, and this Alighieri chain necklace. Shop the entire sale here.

Thank you, Zara, for making me even more excited for springtime and sunnier days ahead, with goodies like the just-out gingham set, above, the slinky slip dress, below, this embroidered lovely, and these ballet flats!

Celine's dressed-down spring collection is right up my everyday alley. I just need the effortlessly chic linchpins to execute it: a polished and fitted gold-buttoned blazer (like this, this or this), some relaxed, full-length jeans (these, these or these), a luxe hoodie (yes, yes, and yes) and, of course, an initialed cap. Voila!

Zara's spring/summer collection just launched and it's full of bound-to-sell-out finds, including the chain-accented sandals, above, this quilted denim jacket, this limited edition draped dress, this embroidered shirtdress, this cut-out midi, and these perfectly-cut, right-now-length jeans. Check it all out here.

Spring's stripes are anything but straightforward--and I'm all for it! Oversized silhouettes and graphic mixes make them look standout-new and fresh. My everyday favorites come from Madewell, below, Alex Mill, Zara, Nili Lotan and The Frankie Shop (last pic).
