Along with my bikinis and pareos, I'll be packing some pearls for spring break. Big and bold ones that look modern (not matronly), unexpected and fun, as pictured above, or like these from Jennifer Behr, Maison Irem, Alexa Leigh and Sydney Evan. I also love the pre-layered Justine Clenquet, below.
Stylish New Yorkers springing ahead in their newest skin-baring shoes are inspiring me to follow in their footsteps--along with 55 degree-proof sheer tights (I just bought these for $25 but these also good!). As for the shoes, I love Leandra Cohen's forever-elegant sandals by The Row, below, and the pointy-toe Toteme slingback, above. Plus these by Miu Miu and Zara.

If there ever was an Instagram life I wanted to lead, it would be that of Paris-based Italian model Sara Ramen, who seemingly whips up gorgeous fig galettes with her eyes closed, flits between the Amalfi Coast, Paris and Australia, and wears nothing but the most desirable clothes. Fortunately for me, I can partake in her enviable wardrobe with an assist from Bergdorf Goodman, which is currently offering a slew of spring lovelies, many Sara-sanctioned at 25% off, including the Sir top, above, along with this stunning pearl-studded Alice & Olivia jacket, these Khaite jeans, this Ulla Johnson mini, this Agua by Agua Bendita dress. Shop the sale here!
This morning I scoured The Outnet's just-in sale stash of Prada and Miu Miu with an incredulous grin, floored by all the crazy good statement offerings, such as the above embellished trench, which I scored at 60% off! Also utterly compelling: the cashmere turtleneck, below, this cute phone case, this Miu Miu waxed cape, this striped cashmere knit, this graphic scarf, and this oversized denim jacket!
I'm seriously thinking that all I need for spring is an oversized denim jacket. Because it's something I can wear both inside and outside, layer in uptown to downtown ways, and, perhaps, most importantly, it will allow me to think less about what I'm wearing underneath! Especially if it's an investment piece! I love the Prada's button-down, above, pinched from the men's department. I also adore these stunners by Khaite, Loewe, and Anine Bing.
The rain let up last night for just enough time for me to whip out a leg-baring, spring-fresh dress for dinner with Goop and friends, including the strapless and sequined GP, herself, the ever-inspiring Maria Shriver and Beauty Counter founder (and unwavering friend) Gregg Renfrew, pictured above. Over fresh-picked vegetables (naturally!) and epic cheese boards, we chatted about the power of friendships, gratitude for growing old, and saying yes more often! I also discovered the dexterity of these party-ready Prada heels, these effortlessly chic Nanushka leather pants, and this throw-and-go (hang with Gwyneth) denim jacket, thanks to the other cool guests in attendance!
Spring is calling for a new addition to my perpetually-growing arsenal of denim: a long jean skirt. Admittedly, this silhouette is harder to pull off than a pair of straight-leg indigos, but the style perks are far more glam. The key to styling this skirt is to keep things simple and streamlined on top, as demonstrated in these snaps. I like these iterations from Frame, Sea New York, Mother and Made in Tomboy.
