NYC is unusually cold this summer, which could be why I'm thinking of lace more frequently than the usual sheer and silky summer fabrics. Lace is a mainstay, but for the past few seasons, it looks younger and fresher with peek-a-boo thigh-skimming and fiery red numbers. Pair with a pair of loafers for day and stilettos for evening. Looking for more unconventional lace? Try McGinn's (above) and Simone Rocha's biker jackets in lace. They are anything but the dainty doilies we've seen at grandma's.

The last time I wore overalls was in kindergarten, but they were of the OshKosh denim variant, and very likely smeared with chocolate and ice cream stains. I think I prefer these luxe suspender-meets-overall ones a little more. After having worn these in what seems like an infinite number of combinations and looks, they're really one of the easiest things to throw on in moments of indecision. For the poet/artist and gamine look, just pair with the simplest white blouse and ballet flats. For a more obvious contrast between boy and girl, throw a flirty (think swiss dots, pintucks, and pleats, just don't overdo it) shirt on underneath. Who said effortless can't be learned?

One moment it's March 24th and freezing (last post) and the next moment it's April 7th and 70 degrees F. (this post). How on earth did that happen?? Being slammed with work and staring into the depths of Illustrator on a perpetual caffeinated high probably screws with the body's time perception abilities. Regardless, I'm ecstatic for Spring, the lighter layers that come with it, fresh blooms, and more vitamin D. On a more blog-y note, I'll be jumping into some DIYs soon (as time permits), so expect some giveaways and tuts, too. Onward, ho!
