Dots & Stripes

Layering and more layering. When will this weather go away and leave room for shorts and summer dresses? Hopefully soon but in the meantime, here’s another easy and fun way to layer and transition from winter to spring. Dot sweater and stripe shirt make up for an easy-breezy outfit. Whether you’re running errands, shopping or meeting your friends for a fun weekend brunch, this is an outfit that keeps you warm and brings out your style.

Red shoes are always a great option, they pop your outfit. I use these ZARA suede shoes on a regular basis. I also love these Alice + Olivia shoes that I save for special occasions. I do this because it took me years to find the perfect pair of red shoes so I have a pair that I can wear until I kill them and my nicer pair that I take extremely good care of and use for shorter outings.

Outfit layering essentials: Old Navy sweater, JCrew stripe shirt, Marciano skinny jeans and Clare Vivier clutch.

Jewelry: JCrew, Stella&Dot, Michael Kors, Lauren Ellan, House of Harlow 1960 sunglasses.

Sun

I’m not a hat person, I’ve tried countless hats and they never seem to fit. So you can only imagine how excited I was when I found a hat that finally fitted well.

This Urban Outfitters sun hat is the perfect size and so cute. They have it in other colors. I’m considering the idea of getting the red stripes one.

Summer and hats go hand in hand, if you want to see more hat suggestions, check out my pinterest hat collection.

Pablo loves the bay (East Hampton), playing baseball with Will and bathing in the bay are his favorite hobbies.

My Look: Forever21 dress (old), Mint Julep Starfish Earrings and bracelet, Asos enamel zig zag ring, Michael Kors watch and Rayban aviators.

Topsiders

When it comes to traveling, I tend to opt for my Sperry Topsiders. It’s simple math. Beach + summer = Topsiders. This pair is amongst one of my favorite pairs of flat shoes. They’re s comfy and instantly add a hint of casual sophistication.

You can find them on a wide variety of colors, shapes and styles. I love the brown classic ones but the navy and white ones keep haunting my wish-list cart.

Hope these little tips will help some of you select the perfect Topsiders.
