Corks and Caftans

[Tibi dress + Club Monaco vest + Free People leather cuff + Citrine by the Stones tasseled bracelet.] I was surveying a perfectly cooked filet mignon in a nearly empty dining room adorned with crystal chandeliers, white tablecloths, and a wildly talented pianist at one end playing standards for what I’ll guess was 4 seated [...]

She’s just a genius. Not much else to say there. Mara Hoffman blows it out of the water for another season of gnarly prints and sick colors. I’m digging the cycle back to the Central American vibe here.

[Backporch loitering, waiting for the hotdogs to cook up: J.Crew vintage linen tee + True Religion shorts + by Malene Birger key pendant necklace + Club Monaco earrings + Michael Kors huaraches.] Part cat escape narrative + part jewelry post + part recipe. I’d advise you just scroll down to the part about the hotdogs.

[Club Monaco pants via ShopBop + T by A Wang t-shirt + Citrine by the Stones tassel earrings and bracelet + Prada slingbacks + YSL dirty old bag + Low Luv & Twinkle Studio necklaces.] Me, not in shorts. Epic.

I would live in this. Rachel Zoe’s new collection popped up on ShopBop today and it doesn’t disappoint. I spy some glorious flares and tie-neck blouses. And as I would have hoped from her, there’s enough serious RZ vibes coming across that this probably won’t be universally dug on; anything other way would have seemed [...]

[Things to meditate on: soft knits from T by A Wang and cool-toned add-ons. All available on Shopbop.com.] Greetings from Rob’s new place of work! I’m at The Barrel Thief enjoying a nice glass of Rosso di Montalcino. I haven’t been able to put away this smattering of things yet—new things—the last, late night purchase [...]

[Old cutoffs found in the move + Need/Supply shirt + J.Crew men's belt + Low Luv Erin Wasson Thunderbird pendant.] Lounging on the porch. All I’m wearing this summer is faded t-shirts, silver jewelry, and light denim. -Carey

[Shopbop's July 4th packing list. Feast thine eyes!] I’ve always been a huge sucker for “packing lists”—they were the pages I ripped out of all my VOGUE‘s back in the day. When someone asked me what I wanted to do when I grew up, it was that: I want to compile the packing pages for [...]

I’ve been seeing some painfully lovely maxi dress looks all over the place lately. via The Sartorialist:

[Citrine by the Stones Rosary Tassel earrings + Wonder Woman cuff + Diane von Furstenberg belt + Free People shorts + Nightcap cardigan + Sam Edelman boots + Kara Ross stingray ring.] I remember the first day I moved to Saratoga Springs, New York. Talk about a leap of faith. Tanned, freewheeling, sand still in [...]

[J.Crew Vintage cotton t-shirt + Hunter boots via shopbop.com + J.Crew shorts + Torn suede fringed vest + Gara Danielle turquoise + F21 bracelets.] I have lived in this t-shirt for the last 3 weeks. The Albany J.Crew had a bench lined with these in a zillion fantastic colors, 2 sherberty neon shades I had [...]

[Rachel Pally Gwyneth caftan dress @Shopbop, $238.] Gorgeous. Finally she got away from the bag-o’-fabric treatment: exposed shoulders, plunging neckline and sculptured sleeves. Throw this on with a squash blossom necklace and some fringed boots and you’re gold. If you’re me, I mean. -Carey
