I have a simple, classic pair of J. Crew gladiator sandals (just like the ones pictured above) that I bought a few summers ago, and I've worn them into the ground. To say that they're versatile would be an understatement. There isn't a piece of summer wear that they don't go with, from a sundress to shorts to cropped jeans--and they work around the clock. But I also love the fact that they are neither too clunky nor too Roman Coliseum-authentic (i.e., they signal "I am feeling relaxed" more than "I am ready for battle"). Most incredibly, they're eight bucks(!), and they'll look great with...

This pajama top's vibrant hue and red piping make it too cute to keep in the bedroom. Work it as an effortless out-and-about blouse that goes with everything from casual jeans to a structured leather pencil skirt. On any old hot summer day I'd wear it, sleeves rolled up, with...

My New York friends always ask me what I like about living in LA. Well, first on my list would be the fact that I can eat lunch or dinner on the beach pretty much any day of the year. I do take advantage of that fact, and to that end, I find myself using beach bags a lot to carry everything from a change of clothes for everyone in my family (you never know if the wind, rogue wave, spilled bucket of salt water, chilly fog, etc. will get you) to food to reading material to toys to towels to a bottle of wine (or two!). I have carry-alls in varying sizes, and depending on how ambitious our outing is, I have a bag to match. I've rounded up some more options, including the one pictured above (I love for its simplicity and East Coast preppy aesthetic!) to add to my arsenal.
I first fell for this Diane Von Furstenberg top when I came across it at a photo shoot back in January, before it even hit stores. In fact, it has appeared in an outfit on LE CATCH before. So, I am happy to report that it's now on sale (reduced from $713!). I love its sparkly cocktail-party mood, and the flower appliques look like they were hand-set. The shape is retro-boxy but still fabulously feminine. The whole thing is just--and ever so perfectly--short of over-the-top. Wear it with...

I feel like I've been cheating on my party dresses lately, because I have been steadily going out with pants instead. I am falling in love with their ease and comfort, dressing up the options in my closet, from wide leg white trousers to silver metallic cigarette pants. Here's another slinky pair from Topshop to add to the mix--one that I could wear to many a cocktail party with a silver sequined top, or if it's casual, with a chambray denim blouse. Since they're made from chiffon, these pants are as light and airy as a summer skirt. Today, I'd wear them with...

I bumped into a stylist (of the uber Hollywood ilk) friend of mine the other night, and as usual, she looked unerringly hip, in black cropped leather-like jeans, a white t-shirt and red ballet slippers, which dutifully worked to give her basic outfit a jolt of French girl-chic. Since I've seen her, I've been steadfastly wearing my red flats out and about with...

A friend of mine has this iconic Alexander Wang bag in black and whenever she wears it I feel crazy pangs of jealousy. I particularly love the rose gold hardware--such an elegant and original accent. So, it's a nice twist of fate that I stumbled across this light mint version at the Outnet, at more than half off the original price. Yes!
I am not much of a long skirt-wearing type of girl. But lately I've been rethinking that, as I've been seeing stylish girls sporting them about town in ways that look fresh and new, like with an untucked fitted sweater (such as in this pic), or with a hip-skimming belted t-shirt. I love how this striped pleated skirt looks vintage and also sort of Anna Sui meets Marc Jacobs. I also appreciate its year-round versatility. Right now it would be cute with a simple white tank top, but as soon as fall is in the air, I'd work it in my own fresh and new way with...

Despite the Fourth of July falling mid-week this year, the celebration, it seems, will be as multi-faceted as ever. With back-to-back barbecues on either side of the holiday, and a parade and fireworks in between, this stylish, throw-it-on-and-go T by Alexander Wang dress I recently picked up will see me through at least part of the festivities...
