Exactly like the chic custom-made sandals I scored in Santorini years ago and wore into the ground!

1. Gabriela Hearst leather dress,

2. Hermes Lipstick in Beige Croisset,

3. Jonathan Simkhai metal clutch bag,

4. Zara sandals,

A mighty mini for major summer days.

Crochet and fringe for the one-two punch!

It's always fun to randomly run into an old friend, but even more so when the run-in turns into a right-there-and-then shopping spree. Such was the case this past weekend when I encountered a friend picnicking on the beach, who had stylishly toted everything in the above and below striped market bags. Given their chicness, I assumed they were , but learned that she had procured them from , for a mere $44 a pop (the last pictured is $26!). I'm inclined to use them not only for the beach but beyond!

There's no better combo than sequins and stripes, in my book.

Everyone will think they're Valentino and that's ok!

I snapped up this bejeweled blouse with major Miu Miu vibes--and sized up for a louche, oversized fit.

Johanna Ortiz vibes for under $100! Yesssss!

This knit cardigan is currently doubling as my go-to spring jacket--and winning!

A little eyelet dress always makes a big eye-catching statement.
