Over the weekend, I spotted someone wearing a pair of Donni gingham silk pants with a flowy Dôen top and Mary Janes, it was such an effortlessly chic look. It also reminded me of the LESET drawstring carpenter pants (below) that I’ve had my eye on. This style of pant is the perfect blend of comfort and style for the warmer summer months.

Also in my shopping cart are these two lightweight cotton dresses from Xirena. I ordered the Greta gingham dress and Bowen shirt dress that will be easy to throw on and stay cool.

I’ve been on the hunt for a flattering slip dress and finally found the perfect one. My issue with most slip dresses is that they tend to cling in all the wrong places. This one is gently fitted through the rib cage before skimming the body, creating a flattering and effortless silhouette.

1. Anine Bing Magnolia Dress, $550 It runs big I bought the xsmall.
2. Dorsey Clemence Necklace, $340
3. Jennifer Behr Pony Tail Wrap, $158
4. Staud Beaded Tote, $295
5. Ray Ban x ASAP Rocky Puffer Sunglasses, $202
6. Toteme Black Thong Sandal, $560

It’s been June Gloom all week in Los Angeles, so layers (my fave cashmere layering sweater is on sale) have been essential.
