Things that make life easier are things I deeply love. Which explains why I have my heart set on these super cute $95 . Love the tassels! (Leaning toward the white one.)

This cute cotton striped dress is so spring break-bound!

A Saturday night dinner at my sister's house featured a delicious Mallorcan feast (courtesy of a chef friend in town from the Spanish isle) and great fashion inspo, provided by a television producer pal, who turned up in a classically chic striped top, wide leg trousers and a Burberry trench. The striped staple, above, featuring an anything-but-basic zippered neckline, captures her distinctly cool style perfectly.

Nothing like a fun fringed top to remind us that spring is on its way!

A classic staple gets a spring-fresh update, courtesy of frayed edges and a round collar. Want!

Just a look at this floaty chiffon dress might help New Englanders temporarily forget about the weather outside. (For those of us in 80-degree LA, this is right-now-into-summer chic!)

It's as if the coolest, most kick-ass biker jacket transformed itself into a bag. So good!

At a festive soiree last Friday night several of my friends turned up in elegant cropped tops that showed just the tiniest sliver of skin. I'd like to follow suit with this version that features a cool kimono-style tie in the back. (P.S. High-waist pants or skirts are key to pulling off a crop top stylishly.)

Simply elegant yet exceedingly practical. Perfection!

A striped parka packs way more cuteness than a plain old rain coat.
