If you're anything like us, then you've been mildly obsessing over whether or not you can pull off a stars-and-stripes look at this year's Fourth of July party. Well, you can. In the spirit of Independence Day, we've handpicked some of the coolest patriotic pieces we could find, like star-spangled heels, a rooftop-ready striped party dress, and a preppy-cool banded frock. Oh fabulous Fourth, we salute you!
Above, from left: Motel Stripe Dress, $77, at Pixie Market; Marc by Marc Jacobs Ivory Coral Star Sandals, $420, at StyleBop.
Above, from left: Sonia Sonia Rykiel Star T-shirt, $69 (was $118), available at Bird; Acne Jeans Blue Star Webber Tie, $92 (was $154), available at Oak.
As you know, we're really into beaded accessories this season—reminds us of the sort of '60s boho cool that seems so right for summer. But while a pair of beaded sandals is perfect for day, we need something jazzier for night. Hence, when we saw these oversized, beaded, sparkly, fold-over clutches ($162) at oak, our hearts went a-pitter-patter. Sparkly enough to take a blazer-and-jeans ensemble from office to party, snazzy enough to pair with a little cocktail dress, big enough to fit all your essentials yet small enough to avoid looking like a bag lady...these clutches can do no wrong! Minor dilemma: leopard print or zebra? Oh, decisions!
We've already professed our love for striped shoes for gals, but now men, too, can earn their stripes with this fantastic blue-and-white linen oxford from Lodger Footwear. They're calling it their "Shoe of the Month" (by that, they mean you can only pre-order it up 'til July 31st, and then it's gone, gone, gone), but we're calling it our Shoe of the Season. That blue matched with divine tan piping and sole? It may be $600, but then we remembered the Rag & Bone for Grenson oxfords, which went for the same price but did not have the fantastic design, and we're sold. (Selectism)
Seems like just about everybody has the slouchy, multi-zipper, ultra-distressed Alexander Wang bag of last season, which obviously means it's time to update your collection with the new style. And by new, we mean the impossible-to-get, ultra-studded, "Coco" bag that Mary-Kate Olsen has been toting around for months now (of course). At $850, it's no cheap indulgence, but has already sold out on Oak's website mere hours after it appeared online. We're hoping the buttery-soft black leather and its luscious gold-studded underbelly will come back in stock...but in the meantime, if you've got an extra grand lying around, you might want to consider scooping up one of the other new styles, like the Eniko or Donna, updated in cool black denim. No guarantee, though, that the Lower East Side won't be flooded with these in a few months.
I've had rings on the mind today, especially after seeing Dree Hemingway's fantastic little finger-jewels (okay, white walls or not, girl has some nice jewelry). London-based jewelry label Bex Rox brings me one step closer in my ongoing search for the perfect ring with a small selection of cute curiosities. My personal favorites are the Dalmatian Jasper ring and Knot ring...the former looks like a series of dainty faberge eggs—so pretty.
