the EDIT: ZARA sweaters under $50
the EDIT: Denim Jumpsuits
I know what you’re thinking, it’s in the 80s in most places in the country, however I recently saw this picture of Kia Gerber below looking ’70s Jane Birkin chic in this Boyish denim jumpsuit and I had to do a round up of my favorites.
I love a denim jumpsuit! I have a Levi’s one I live in all year round. It’s such a versatile piece. Wear it with casual sandals in the summer, for winter pair with your favorite chunky boot, throw on some heels and a leather jacket (unbutton some buttons perhaps?) for an edgy date night look. The outfit possibilities are endless.
Here are some faves!
the summer EDIT: Zara Dresses
I love this insanely cute dress perfect for a waterfront date.
Anyone going to Miami for a bachelorette? Get this dress!
You’re never too old to look like a lemonade stand.
Staud vibes for less. Wear this anywhere and everywhere.
Have a twiggy moment in this dress. And these sunglasses.
This is a great Frankie Shop Dupe. Here is the real thing. Nearly identical. I would style this dress with these sunnies for $16 bucks.
A very Brock Collection inspired dress.
You probably already have a dress that looks like this, but it’s not this, so you still need this. Am I right?
Black tie or the beach? Two in one.
Know one will know this is not Ulla Johnson. Well I guess I’ll know, but I promise no one else will.
This is the only picture of the back of this dress, but that was enough to sell me on it.
I contemplated keeping this one to myself.
Boho beach grandma vibes.
Citrus chic. Meet my new beach coverup.
A nice Nanushka like frock.
Seems wrong to be recommending two long sleeve brown dresses for summer, but here we are.
Look as sweet as pie in this key lime dress.
the denim short EDIT
I’m very over seeing Gen Z’s / fringe millennials butt cheeks hang out in public. Praise be that denim diapers are out and knee-length denim shorts are in. Not only are they more comfortable and cooler, but also more hygienic. I don’t know about you, but as the weather warms I start to think about what girl’s bare derrière has grazed a bar stool or Uber seat ahead of mine and it weirds me out. So do us all a favor and retire the short shorts this season for an elevated bermuda style.
Is brown the new black?
Brown is big for spring, this earthy color is chic and grounding. I love this quirky top by BAUM UND PFERDGARTEN in a beautiful caramel hue with jeans and slides for an effortless jeans ensemble.
What’s even more effortless is the no makeup, makeup look. I just purchased the Westman Atelier Vital Foundation stick and not only does it live up to the hype, you feel like you should be working at Goop as a beauty editor every time you click open the magnetic top of it’s stunning packaging. The consistency is creamy, hydrating, and looks like you have nothing on your skin. I found a little goes a long way and perfectly covers redness, plus it’s made of all clean ingredients. It’s a luxury purchase for sure, but you’re worth it! (FYI the Sephora sale is starting in just a few days so add to cart!) I have also been loving this Kosas mascara and this Olio E Osso lip and cheek tint in French Melon. I purchased both after watching Gwyneth Paltrow use them in her latest skincare routine video with Vogue. I’m a sucker for all things goopy.

the Spring EDIT
Things I’m loving for Spring!
the SWIMSUIT EDITION
Honestly, it’s harder to find a swimsuit than it is to find a friend with a boat in Chicago. So it actually doesn’t matter that I never find a friend with a boat, because I wouldn’t have a swimsuit I liked to wear anyway. Seriously! Who can relate? So here is my list of the coolest swim brands for the season, appropriate for my 30+ babes.
Vitamin A
ZARA
This blue Zara One Shoulder is good. And this brown one is also very good. But this black two-piece is my favorite! I predict these sell-out. quickly Jump on it!
They also have some very cute accessories…
Orange Headband / Baseball Hat / Straw Hat/ Clutch / Gingham Tote / Crochet Bag
Any of these dresses would make perfect coverups.
White Sheer Maxi / Black Minidress / Green Eyelet Smocked Maxi / Polo Dress / Gauze Tunic / Embroidered Eyelet
I also love an oversized shirt for the beach
Oversized Shirt / Eyelet Shirt Dress
And while we’re at here are some great sandals!
