Into Now: 10.22.12

I've been a little busy lately and less time means less creative inspiration. Thankfully with the internet one never has to search too far. Moda Operandi picked up on one of my favorite trends with their Lulu Frost trunkshow, Revlon has some amazing new polish formulations, Olay sent me a fantastic new day serum that I highly recommend and I have some news that I can finally share. We partnered with a very cool new ecommerce site called Wittmore on an exclusive run of Moveslightly bracelets. The colors are perfect for fall, so enjoy!

Cynthia Rowley Sleeveless Dress, Clinique Chubby Stick, Supergoop! SPF 50 Day Cream, Hansel From Basel Zig Zag Envelope, Zoku Quick Pop Maker

There is something so carefree about mixing day and night looks with this Cynthia Rowley floral neoprene dress and Hansel from Basel's sweetly geometric Zig Zag clutch. I can imagine going from eating homemade popsicles on my deck to the roof of the Wythe Hotel, substituting a berry-stained lip gloss for the real thing. And since I'm never without SPF during the day, I appreciate a formula that does double duty as I go into the night like Supergoop's antioxidant-rich formula.

My current taste in clothes and accessories are giving me the feeling that I need to get out of NYC for a weekend.

For the past 25 years I have hated paisley, but suddenly with Memorial Day behind us it feels fresh and fun for summer. These Citizens of Humanity jeans are a subdued take on the omnipresent printed jeans trend and J.Crew's version looks almost like a bandana print--perfect for backyard BBQs or chic gardening (my next plant will be a split-leaf philodendron). It is important to pair this print with bright colors like these leather espadrilles to avoid looking frumpy.

Sometimes I like to feel a little bit glam. I always like items that look more expensive than they are. The above items are how I would imagine a glam beach vacation without actually living beyond my means, which is never chic.

**FYI, I do not think that $200 is cheap for a beach towel, but it is cheaper than a zebra rug...

Hanging planter, Boy. Band of Outsiders barn jacket, Coach Classics mini, Revlon Lip Butter, Serpent Sea rug

I'm pretty much in the same mood at last week, but this time around it is all about the perfect tiny purse from Coach classics and my favorite new lipstick discovery, Revlon Lip Butter. My favorite color is lollipop, a springy berry shade that feels like a chapstick but has much more pigment than most lip butters.  At $6 a tube, its a no-brainer.

Right now, and pretty much always, I'm in a vaguely summer sport-inspired mood. I hesitant to admit that I love the surfer look because I'm truly scared of the ocean, meaning that it will always be a put-on. At least its a good one! Before full-fledged summer hits the best way to get the look is Alexander Wang's structured sheer vest, Wwake's braided rope necklace, and Peter Som's floral bustier bikini top (worn as a visible bra now and at the beach later). The result is a city-friendly take on the beach.
