LE CATCH

$198, anthropologie

I have one pair of super sparkly statement earrings that I wear constantly. To the point of embarrassment. It's as if I own no other pair. But I just love them so much and they do so much for any outfit, whether it's an elegant cocktail dress or a simple, slouchy sweater and jeans. I'm thinking these guys could sub in from time to time, as I adore the punch of turquoise and the attention-getting gleam.

I always feel a tinge of envy whenever I see another girl out and about wearing shorts, especially after I've put in some time and effort to get DRESSED. Shorts are just so easy--and yet they can be a completely legitimate style statement. For example, as Poppy Delevigne deftly proves above, a pair of print shorts is a chic (and fresh!) alternative to a summery skirt, and arguably a little more comfortable, too. As for styling them, heels always turn things up a notch, and I like them teamed with a simple t-shirt or button-down blouse and a boyfriend blazer. Here are some pretties from Madewell, Asos, J.Crew, Haute Hippie, and Clover Canyon.

$49, nordstrom

Chloe's Spring 2013 rose gold sandals had me swooning. So you could imagine my delight to find an equally glinty but super easy, everyday pair that can go just about anywhere. (P.S. This shoe also comes in wear-with-everything silver--might have to get both!)

I've been long lusting for a particular pair of Aquazurra heels, these gorgeous, sexy ones beloved by fashionistas far and wide, including stylist Giovanna Battaglia, pictured above and below, who has them in both brown and black, as well as Style.com editor Marina Larroude. Well, I am happy to report that they're on sale today and tomorrow, as Shopbop is having a two-day site-wide 20% off sale (use code WEAREFAMILY13), along with other desirables recently featured here, including this Rebecca Taylor tweed dress and this cute May Y Sol raffia tote bag.

Me and my clutches. You know I can never have enough. The stripes and poms poms got me here. But there's more! It's reversible: the other side features a pretty paisley print. Two-for-one cuteness.

A bright shoe has been a trend for awhile, but the options are getting brighter and bolder. I have been paying more attention lately, as it looks like fun. It's clear that, if you choose, you can let your feet alone do all the talking this spring via these playful print heels. The crazier, the better! The trick to pulling this off is to keep the rest of your outfit clean and simple. Here are some of my faves from Sophia Webster, Tory Burch (want desperately!), Isa Tapia* (with a super wearable heel, no less!), Steve Madden and Dolce & Gabanna.

$89, target

With the wedding circuit quickly approaching, I'm thinking it wouldn't hurt to have this striking one-shouldered dress in the arsenal. Designed by former Vogue editor and current celebrity stylist Kate Young, it hits all the right notes: fun, feminine and fabulously inexpensive.

This weekend's annual music festival-cum-fashion fest drew out all the usual sartorial suspects: flowy ethnic print dresses, fringed bags, cropped tops, motorcycle boots, statement sandals and kooky sunglasses. I rounded up a handful of my favorite looks (click here and here for more pics), along with a few signature Coachella staples, which could easily be integrated into summer wear, such as this hippie-chic, attention-getting print dress, a beaded statement-making pair of Isabel Marant sandals (featured in the last pic, below) a seriously beautiful embroidered jacket, and a good old pair of (not too short!) distressed denim cut-offs.

$180, reiss

A colorful, eye-popping print makes this warm-weather basic anything but. Give it a whirl with...

5. Pierre Balmain mesh sandals, $750, shopbop.com
6. Reiss print skirt, $180, reiss.com

When I saw this dress, I immediately thought of a preppy-leaning, stripe-obsessed friend of mine. It's perfect for her (for summer parties, work events, etc.). I started to email her about it...but then I thought, no, it's so cute, I should buy it for myself. To make amends for this selfish act, I am now moved to share it with her and all of you after all. Not many sizes left. Hurry.
