currently. coveting. // summer. edition.

Happy summer solstice, friends. ☀️ All hail rooftop season, sunset strolls, popsicle weather, hammocks (I REPEAT, hammocks!), the list goes on. #lovesummerhateeverythingelse
 
To kick off my favorite time of the year, I'm sharing a few summer staples that are currently on my radar. Mostly out of my budget ATM, but these are all items that I'm confident that I could live in for the next three months.

Alyssa Coscarelli x Petite Studio Fuji Top in Ivory ($139): S'cute. Embrace Alyssa Coscarelli's retro-chic, city girl aesthetic with the perfect gauzy summer blouse — courtesy of the influencer's capsule collection for Petite Studio, no less. 

Alex Mill Silk Pajama Top ($158): I recently had the pleasure of swinging by Alex Mill's first brick-and-mortar storefront on Greene St., and this beauty caught my eye. The relaxed pajama-esque fit + femme floral print deserve top style marks in my book.

Emily Warden Designs Opal Heart Pendant ($118): This hauntingly beautiful opal heart pendant 100% calls for a sweetheart neckline.

Sandy Liang Tetra Dress ($425): Give this puffy sleeve Sandy Liang dress a twirl with Doc Martens for a stint downtown. 

Clare V. Fannypack in Tennis Balls Print ($299): Allow this hands-free tennis ball-printed fanny pack to accompany you from mini golf with pals to an outdoor concert. 

Sézane Valou Dress ($180): It's 24/7 frocks like this one from Sézane (ahem, peep the scalloped sleeves) that define daytime dressing to a T. 

See by Chloé Embroidered Laser-Cut Suede and Leather Espadrille Wedge Sandals ($255): If you find yourself saying “no way, José” to the season's "ugly" high-fashion Tevas, then behold — See By Chloé espadrilles to the rescue.

Vintage 1910's Camisole ($72): Drooling over this vintage blouse. Any takers?

Vintage 1960's Garden Party Dress ($88): Go ahead and RSVP "yes" to that rooftop soiree… 😉

who's that girl // no.1

Paging Alyssa Coscarelli, paging Alyssa Coscarelli... 

Who's that girl? She fancies coffee shops in NoLIta + gallery hops on the LES. She's a burgeoning fashionista who favors emerging designers (hey, Sandy Liang, hey) and absurdly cool under-the-radar labels. She's influencing, but not necessarily an influencer. 

K, cool, now that we've got that straight… behold, ze dress of summer (this puff-sleeve number may be a close second in my book) courtesy of Sandy Liang. All hail "Chinatown grandmas" everywhere. I'd RSVP "a million times 'yes'!" to the white daisy print and easy-breezy silo — best accompanied by '90s-inspired jellies or designer Teva-like sandals for a normcore vibe come the weekend. Bring forth a hit of sweet nostalgia with one of The Last Line's layerable BFF pendant necklaces. Angular pink glitter frames over teeny-tiny Matrix frames any day, please. Finishing touches include a minty fresh manicure and a vegetable-tanned leather daypack that successfully marries form and function. For the savvy adventurer, may I recommend a LOST iN travel guide? Vienna waits for you.
