LE CATCH

My two boys calls all the clothing and accessories in my closet "mommy's toys." So, it would make sense then that in my house, Mother's Day begets new toys! Things (read: mother of all gifts!) I am lusting for: this extraordinary Jenna Blake malachite and diamond cuff, this summer soiree-sensational Anna Sui frock, this OTT velvet leopard print Prada bag, this Riviera-ready Rhode Resort tunic (and this terry cloth-lined Sunkit beach blanket, this lace PilyQ bikini and cute Tabitha Simmons to go with!), and this Gucci cotton tweed jacket. A mother can dream, right?

$195, draper james

This straw bag cutely combines denim, pops of pink and a throw-it-over-your-shoulder gold link chain, along with a whimsical warm-weather vibe.

Customarily, spring's the time to wield our wardrobe's cheeriest hues. This season I'm popping out colorful earrings, too! And I'm talking any shade of the rainbow, which will pump extra flash into any outfit. I'm crazy about these bright baubles from J.Crew (pictured below), Kate Spade, Isabel Marant, Ranjana Khan, Oscar de la Renta, Venessa Arizaga, Alexis Bittar, and Bauble Bar. P.S. Leandra's super cute dress, above, can be found here.

You're probably more than ready to shed all the fur and fluff, but your feet may feel otherwise. In fact, they might just want to warm up to the furry footwear trend that's stepping into the spotlight. My tootsies are intrigued, but at the same time, tentative, too. I think they'd be more comfortable in less-OTT styles, such as the feather Alexander Wang, below, and these by Topshop (this one, too), Prada, and Zara. Those more brave than I should definitely consider the shearling Chloe, above, which is sold out pretty much everywhere except here and here.

Not only did this Instagram snap prompt me to run two extra miles this morning, but it also spurred a red bikini hunt. Good news: I found the Love Stories cutie, above, on Shopbop, and what's more, discovered that other amazing swimsuits and summery things are 40% off today through Thursday! This surprise sale is the perfect remedy for my bad case of body envy! On my favorites list today: this Hello Parry checked tunic dress (below), this reversible Basta bikini, this lightweight Lem Lem dress, these Adina Reyter diamond (go-with-everything) earrings, and these K. Jacques sandals. You can see all the ah-mazing offerings here.

Climbing to the top of spring's hit list: the wrap skirt. This feminine silhouette is endlessly versatile, day-to-night wearable and practically heat-proof. For me, it's my new go-to warm-weather staple. I like these iterations from Citizens of Humanity (pictured above), J.Crew, Rebecca Taylor, Lisa Marie Fernandez, Ulla Johnson and Maje.

Yesterday I indulged in an early Mother's Day celebration--organic manicures, FaceLove massages (#bestever), Style Rituals crystal readings, mimosas and matcha lattes--thanks to Goop and Net-a-Porter. I also had the pleasure of sporting my new summer-ready linen jumpsuit, which turned out to be a crowd pleaser! I'd like to load up on more of these one-and-done wonders, so I sourced some more good ones from Asos (also this one), See by Chloe, Anthropologie, Monki, Apiece Apart and Warm.

$175, the outnet

When I met some friends for dinner last week at the newly opened (and crazy delicious) Pizzana, we all (yes, all four of us) showed up wearing green army jackets. I wasn't embarrassed or mortified, as this staple is a rock solid choice no matter how many people are wearing it. However, it got me thinking about any possible twists on the standard issue girl-army-jacket. Lo and behold the next day, I saw this Instagram snap: Leandra Cohen, above left, sporting a J.Crew men's camoflage version. I like that the print is more vibrant and abstract than traditional camo and yet equally versatile. And this version might just help me stand out from the crowd a little! You can find it here. (I also like the Diane Von Furstenberg dress Leandra is wearing underneath her camo!)
