I don't plan on giving my statement jackets a rest this summer. In fact, I'll be working them like this..

1. Alexander Wang t-shirt,
2. BCBG printed jacket,
3. Alexander Wang bucket bag,
4. Splendid wedges,
5. J.Crew pleated shorts,

Leave it to Isabel Marant to update the and make it more seductive with a block heel and studded leather straps. Mango's take on it is a little more subtle and a lot easier on the wallet...

It's all about low heels right now. Last week the New York Times ran an article called , which extolled their virtues because they offer, "enough height to give your bottom a little lift, and your legs a longer line, but [they're] low enough that you can pound the pavement pain-free." These hot pink sandals possess all those benefits plus the perfect amount of pop...

This feathered, sequined skirt goes hand in hand with a glass of champagne (or three!). It would be fun to hit the dance floor in this...

This anything-but-basic sweatshirt is all about the detailing: cool quilted fabric (the big thing for Fall 2013), patched front pockets and paneling on the sleeves. Plus, it's incredibly wearable--almost too wearable!--exactly the thing I'd wear to pieces...

The colors! The print(s)! The crochet! This bikini is a serious head-turner...

Since I first spotted it at J.Crew's Spring 2013 presentation in New York back in September, my obsession with this simple striped (but gorgeously bohemian) has only intensified. I've seen it styled in various fashion magazines with unlikely counterparts, such as floral print shorts or under a structured blazer, which had the effect of making me want it even more. Knowing it was due out any day, I've been harassing the sales associates at J.Crew in Santa Monica as to its whereabouts. Lo and behold, it's finally online today, emanating all of its rustic-French-chic, breezy-linen perfection. And paired with these cute faded print , it just doesn't get better. Except that it does! J.Crew is offering 25% off any order through May 3, with free shipping today, only (use code SPRINGBEST at checkout). I guess it does pay to wait! So, while I'm at it, I love these print and this super adorable work-to-weekend scalloped .

I debuted this embellished crochet Tory Burch jacket recently and--no joke--I was complimented by people left and right. Everyone from my son's preschool teacher to a bejeweled stranger in the parking lot at Whole Foods (where no less than three different women approached me!) to my best friend raved about it. It's quite versatile--I've worn it a few ways including something like this...

After battling a bad cold last week, I spent some time this weekend convalescing (i.e., vegging out!). It afforded me extra time to tackle the stack of magazines that have been piling up on my bedside table and to dive deep into the Pinterest rabbit hole, where I came upon this most excellent stripe boho-stylish skirt.

Last week I had dinner with a friend who had just returned from a trip to Mexico. She had that opulent post-holiday glow; even her toes were tanned. And she was still wearing her off-duty uniform: crisp white jeans, a billowy linen blouse and a woven pair of summery sexy sandals just like these, which looked amazing against her sun-kissed skin. I'd take them for a whirl in...
