criss cross sandals
Thursday, March 27
Love 'em or hate 'em, it's inarguable that criss-cross sandals will be summer's "it" shoe, specifically Isabel Marant's version, above, which are practically sold out in every size everywhere except for here and here. Other (much less expensive) options include Topshop's leather cross-overs, available in both black and white, these Jeffrey Campbell slides, and these Ancient Greek Sandals.

kimono cover-ups
Monday, March 24
What's going to go perfectly with summer's warm summery breezes, poolside lounging, and ocean dips is a deeply chic (and very un-last-year) kimono cover-up. I love a kimono's bohemian/exotic nonchalance, its throw-it-on-over-a-wet-suit-and-go-ness, its not-a-caftan uniqueness. I'm dying to slip into these from River Island (below), Anna Sui, Asos, Free People, Urban Outfitters and Band of Gypsies. (The one above, by Wattlebird, can be found here.)
