This mirrored jacket has the coolest Moroccan-vintage-one-of-a-kind aura.

Every summer needs a new white blouse, and this silk lace-up one by (as sported by uber NY-based stylist Stevie Dance) is complete perfection. I'd throw on a pretty, simple lace bra underneath.

My (style) sweet tooth is craving this candy-colored sequined jacket right now.

An everyday black leather sandal looks a whole lot more interesting (and nautical-French) when there's a braided red and white ankle strap deal in the mix. SO cute!

Here's more indefatigable striped cuteness to add to the collection.

This flirty neoprene skirt is my answer to my surfer husband's wardrobe of wetsuits.

This party of a top is crazy fun.

When I first moved from NYC to LA I was totally anti-t-shirt. They looked trite and un-chic (and very LA) to me. Especially with jeans. Then somehow several years in a handful of tees made their way into my wardrobe, mostly in white and grey, perfectly lived-in-looking yet refined. I'd wear them under blazers, with dressier pants and pencil skirts. To this day, I only have a handful, as I am still picky about fit, fabric, texture and feel--and wear them here and there. However, when I discern a good t-shirt (or five!) in the crowd, I pounce. My latest finds include this (in white and black), this lightweight , this jersey , and this boxy (pictured above).

For me, throwing on a cute little skirt is one of the best things about a warm spring day.

Anyone who routinely sees me on the school run can attest to my army jacket rut. This sleek linen topper, with cool off-center snaps and a drawstring waist, will help break up the routine and vastly improve upon it. I'd wear it well into the day like this...
