I spotted Julia Engel of Gal Meets Glam sporting this easy denim dress ($66), and a grush (girl + crush) was born.
I’m not as cray cray about the chevron front, but that back is to die. I love the easy breeziness of it all — perfect against a great tan while traipsing around town. My to pick for getting the look? This A.P.C. number ($290):
With a dress this girly, avoid any frou-frou accents and stick with some simple brown t-straps ($100) and a perforated clutch from Cleobella ($118):
Or, how about this blousy tunic top (on sale for $39) with some white cut-offs (on sale for $107 — from my fav denim line, J. Brand…duh) and a pret-ty amazing tribal necklace from Lizzie Fortunato ($710):
I’d pair with simple flips from Tkees ($48) and a worn-in leather tote from Louise Goods (the one shown below has sold out, but check out this style):
Yes m’am. So European and well-worn. Love. Or, how ah-may-zing is this gradiated amber necklace ($36) with a white dolman tee ($62) and some lived-in jeans:
Finish with either easy-on flips or — now, I know I’m leaning for fall — but these incroyable leopard booties (Alaia, on sale for $700…DIE.):
And…finish with the Phillip Lim Pashli in the mini size ($650) — I mean, I just die.
Ahhhh. Fall. Stupid, it’s now in my head, and we’re still bajillions of years away. Only, not really so much for me anymore — I bet I’ll be regretting this post in about three weeks, once it starts snowing up here…so let’s shift back to summer, and the airiness of this lightweight caftan ($195), layered over a taupe bikini ($23!) —
I’d add a simple necklace ($68) — but check out the entire Palomarie collection while you’re at it! Love it all.
And, finally, a simple straw tote ($109) stuffed with lots of pool/beach essentials (in my book, this means trashy magazines + a mimosa with a straw)…and barefeet:
Oh, and just for kicks?! one of these chambray bras ($59) from Atelier Delphine. Totally impractical, but…I want.
