One indication that life is returning to some semblance of normality: fashion week is on in Copenhagen! “We need to keep the wheel spinning,” justified Copenhagen Fashion Week chief executive Cecilie Thorsmark. The hybrid event, running this week, will feature both physical and digital shows. “This isn’t a one-off ‘Covid edition’," she added, "but a new way to do fashion week. This is the kick-start of something new.” Bring it on, I say--and all of its new-fangled post-lockdown sartorial inspo. As shown in these most recent snaps, the Danes are carrying over their WFH staples to the streets, with relaxed oversized t-shirts, casual button-downs (specifically wide pinstripes), durable denim, sporty sandals, and easy shorts, aplenty. I'm more than ready to get back to business in similar transitional pieces, like this versatile striped shirt (in various shades!) and oversized but still flattering tee, sporty but chic sandals like this, this and this (sooo Chanel!), standout cut-offs (and retro ones too), billowy dresses (Cecile Bahnsen, below), and a cozy, throw-it-over-your-shoulder knit!

It's Friday--again!--and I'm tricking out my summer uniform with a pendant necklace--or three. I love Julie Sarinana's simple but stunning Enesea's pearl charm, above, as well as her $32 denim shorts by Brandi Melville! Other obsessions: West Hollywood's Pop Up Home, my new favorite (super well priced) vintage furnishings source, pictured below, and its incredibly well-stocked website; Urban Outfitter's new $179 (!) retro-cool bar cart, below; Fanm Mom's pretty embroidered linen dress ($245), as modeled by Heather Taylor, below; the $19 polo knit from H&M (hello, fall staple, cute in cream, too!); this OTT reversible Fendi swimsuit, and the ruffled and romantic Keepsake dress, last pic. Stay well this weekend!

The last time I was in Sardinia was exactly three years ago, but today I returned to the largest isle in the Med with Milan-bred, London-based marketing strategist Giorgina Clavarino, who's currently on holiday there. Okay, so I can't indulge in the same truffle pizzas and bellinis as her, but I can still treat myself to one of her utterly transporting swimsuits like the glamorously belted Hunza G, below, (also here), the gingham La Perla bikini, above, and the neon Laura Urbinati (below). I can also flit around in her And Other Stories puff-sleeve mini (last pic) and super flattering, super comfortable Mother jeans, and take up her penchant for the flirty and feminine with this Self Portrait floral blouse (below), dress and sunny midi.

Although I'm not doing much of anything these days, my wardrobe workhorses have never worked harder! Button-down shirts, easy shorts, and jeans are putting in overtime--and that's an understatement. Lately, I've sourced a bunch of basics that are spot-on and right on the money (and perfect for post-quarantine life)! My current go-to's include the oversized shirt, above, the sleek slipdress (below, gorgeous with a white linen blazer), these belted linen shorts, these cropped and pleated khakis, and this jumpsuit.

Calling all Zimmermann lovers! The Outnet is clearing out loads of summer statements including the cute polka-dot one-piece, above (which I'd also wear out and about with a wrap skirt or pleated shorts), this canvas paisley tote bag, this floral print pretty, these leather espadrille slides, and this linen printed mini. Shop the mega assortment here!

I live in the land of day-to-night Lululemon but my sportswear style inspo comes straight from Sweden, specifically stylist Emili Sindlev, who works workout wear like no one else. She actually makes capri leggings compelling off the yoga mat, teamed with an oversized blazer and Chanel slides. (These by Zella, The Upside and Nike do the trick!) Same with running shorts (hers by Prada), but these by Terez , Nike and Beach Riot are also super cool! (LOVE her Lacoste shirt, too!)

According to my weekly horoscope, it feels as if I am living "in an eternal present, [and] in spite of all the world's chaos, nothing will ever really change." Call me crazy, but I think more than just Libras are feeling this way! However, there is actually one thing that's ever changing in my day to day and that's what I'm wearing: The AROSS GIRL x SOLER maxi dress, above, made my Sunday stand out, and for the 24/7 ahead, I'd love to mix things up in the Tory Burch white blouse perfection, below, the frothy, lacy (on sale) Zadig & Voltaire, below, the hot Red Carter one-piece suit, and the $77 Vita Grace puff-sleeve stripes, last pic.
