Odd One Out

 Wearing: Zara top, Heidi Merrick shorts c/o- last worn here, Adidas sneakers, Clare V clutch, 

Jules Smith choker- on sale!

The combination of summer and leather seems incredibly daunting, in the sense that a) you will swelter in the hot and humid air or b) it's just plain uncomfortable. But.... stepping outside the box is where the creativity is found. Taking a once a fashion don't into a must do is the only way to create an outfit that hasn't been reblogged on Tumblr one million times before, if you know what I mean.

 Once you get past the strange idea of wearing leather (in my case, vegan leather) in hot July, double leather is an interesting take on the classic summer sartorial formula of a tank top and shorts. These Heidi Merrick shorts were a match made in heaven for a spur-of-the-moment Zara purchase. (Who are we kidding? All Zara purchases are sporadic!) 

Call me crazy or the odd one out in a sea of linen, but I'll happily be wearing leather until we hit that 90 degrees mark, then I'll be sporting linen.

But, until then....

La Vie

Wearing: Jacquemus t-shirt, Heidi Merrick shorts c/o, Chanel flats, Céline tote, Ray-Ban shades

Possibly my favorite impulse buy ever from fresh French designer, Jacquemus. The 90s inspired poppy prints and color-blocking added a refreshing twist to my wardrobe of the norm-core neutrals and such. Accessories from my other favorite Frenchies (Phoebe and Coco) refine my Saturday strolling duds. 

Because j'aime la vie and we should should live a little. Isn't Jacquemus right? Aha, oui. Last weekend, Amy gave me a mini tour of the West Village. I'm excepting to move into an ivy covered townhouse asap- perhaps this one here and a bike too. K, thanks. 

On the topic of color sporting and loving life, today is Prize Day and I'm wearing pink. Oh yes, Barbie pink. Don't fret kids, tousled locks and layered metals are also involved in the situation. 

C'est la vie!

Laid-Back

Wearing: Heidi Merrick shorts c/o, Madewell denim jacket, Topshop sweater (last seen here), Superga sneakers, Celine bag, KJP bracelet c/o

Since the weather has finally varied out, shorts are on full rotation. Heidi Merrick is one of my favorite Cali-based brands. All her clothes are unique and can be worn no matter what coast you currently reside on. Yet, we all secretly want to be driving up the coast of Malibu or enjoying the crisp air of San Francisco. Oh and I wouldn't mind wearing this head to toe assemble.

Taking another spin at revamping my weekend get-ups, this time incorporating (vegan) leather. The tri-fecta of denim, sneakers, and stripes is still here but this time a surfer cool thanks to Heidi. 

Now, does someone want to book me a ticket heading west?

On My Radar

Last night, I realized that I haven't done one of these posts in a long time. I have been getting in my fair share of spring shopping but these are some of the items on my running wish list and what I've been gravitated towards in general. Joie's sandals are perfection and are a match made in heaven with  Heidi Merrick's neutrals. I am a big fan of Clare Vivier bags and think this large tote would be perfect for travel. Please share with me what you are coveting this week. Shop all the items below:
