What I’m Coveting

What I'm CovetingI’ve been on the hunt for some refreshed basics and found some gems I wanted to share.

Here’s what’s in my cart right now.

Washed denim hat – I own this hat in khaki and love it.  It now comes in light denim and black.  If you have a small head, definitely get this hat.

Two-tone sunglasses – these sunnies look so chic on.  At $59, they’re a great designer look for less.

Gladiator sandals – last summer I wrote about flatforms. I tried a few different pairs, but none achieved the Prada look I wanted.  When I saw these, I had to have them.  They are the perfect combo of edgy and chic.

Heart locket necklace – I’m loving chunky gold jewelry that has a hint of nostalgia. Love the style and price point of this necklace.

Balloon sleeve top – this is washable, a great neutral color, comfortable and brings your overall look up a notch.  Sold.

Skinny jeans – I scored these jeans for $44 and they are AMAZING.  I want more colors and love the vintage look of this wash.  Bonus points: they’re $98.

Gold ring – this designer has the chicest pieces for great prices.  I love this thick swirl ring.

Fragrance discovery set – I recently ordered a discovery scent from this brand (one of my faves).  Rather than have multiple big bottles of perfume, this is a great way to change up your scent without spending a ton of money.

What I’m Coveting: Hereu Shoes

HereuI just discovered Spanish brand Hereu and am obsessed.

Inspired by the heritage of the Mediterranean, I love how their designs have a mix of modernity and classic.  I get major Greek fisherman vibes from their shoes and clean lines with an edge à la Bottega from their handbags.  As a Greek girl obsessed with Bottega, you can see why I’ve fallen hard.

2020 is the year of the cardigan.  They’re the perfect stay-at-home piece.  Robe-like yet chic, you can easily throw one on or take it off.

One of fashion’s biggest secrets to looking chic is layering.  A cardigan is made to layer.  Whether it’s over your favorite tee or underneath your go-to jacket, it’s fall fashion’s pièce de résistance.

I’ve triple layered my cardigans.  Worn then with simple jeans and loafers.  And amped them up with killer heels and double denim.

What I’m coveting for fall 2020 is a batch of comfy cardigans.

There are four styles that I think make for a well-rounded wardrobe.

  1. The cropped cardigan – perfect with high waist jeans.  Wear it buttoned for a streamlined look or unbuttoned with your favorite tee.
  2. The grandpa cardigan – these are great for layering (tee or turtleneck underneath and a jacket over).  I’d pair one with slim leg pants or a midi skirt.
  3. The colorful cardigan – there are some beautiful fall colors and having one accent color is key for making your outfit pop (I’m loving this deep lilac shade!).
  4. The duster – these lay so nicely and most closely resemble a robe.  Hello, comfort!

What I’m Coveting: Linen

The Best Linen Blazers

Linen blazer

Normally this time of year I’m frantically pulling together my New York Fashion Week looks.  Normally my brain is set on nothing but fall fashion.

But this year is quite different, of course.  There will be no NYFW.  (More on that later).  There will be no rush to break out my leather jackets, boots and sweaters.

This year I’m all about extending that summer-time vibe.  And if there’s a fabric of summer, it’s linen.  I adore a head-to-toe linen look.  There is something Lake-Como-George-Clooney about it.  Like I should sitting on a veranda, holding a glass of rose, overlooking the Italian countryside while wearing it.

I’ve collected quite a few fabulous linen pieces over the years and wanted to share some of my favorites.

This blazer is an awesome transitional piece.  It will carry you well into fall.  Bonus points – it’s currently 40% off and comes in 4 colors.

Other Linen Pieces I’m Coveting

What I’m Coveting: Pool Attire

Pool attire

This past weekend was GLORIOUS so naturally I have pool time on the brain.

I saw these shorts and fell in love.  They remind me of something out of a Slim Aarons’ photo.

Pool Attire I’m Coveting

Sexy bikini top and high waisted bottoms – bathing suits are not my favorite, but a chic, black bikini is a forever classic.  I love the wrap top (can be tied so many different ways!) and the high waisted bottoms for coverage.

Hat with ties – after scoring this hat, I pretty much want every hat I buy from here on out to have ties.  It’s helpful if it’s windy or if you’re playing in the pool with a toddler.

Mermaid floatie – I mean, how cute is this?

Tote bag – this cushiony fabric stole my heart.  Love the vibrant blue for summer.  Bonus points – it’s waterproof!

Puka shell necklace – these shells are HUGE and remind me of a very expensive JW Anderson chain link choker I had my heart set on.  This one is much cheaper and you can adjust the length.

White one piece – any one piece with a belt screams “mod” and I’m here for it.  Love the ribbed texture of this one.

Massive sun hat – pool time needs a good dramatic moment and this hat does the trick (while also being functional).

Tevas – you need waterproof shoes at the pool and these are not only on trend, but super comfy and give you added height.  Win-win-win.

One-shoulder one piece – this asymmetrical double one-shoulder is so posh.  Sign me up!

Mykonos book – if I can’t travel, you better believe I want to look at gorgeous beach pictures while I sit poolside.

Beaded bracelet – loving the throwback vibe of this bracelet.

Pool shorts – the piece that inspired this post, I just can’t get enough of these!

Favorite cutoffs – I’ve written about these before.  Get them before they sell out.  They are truly the best denim cutoffs ever!
