{ papa-paparazzi }

hello again! i apologize for leaving the blog unattended for so long. as i mentioned in my last post, i have been traveling ~ first for work, then for fun ~ and then i came home to a terrible cold and no internet connection. the cold persists, but the internet has returned ~ so i'll be back on track in no time.

until then, i figured i could share a couple pics from coachella ~ courtesy of the paparazzi. apparently, on the first day, they mistook me for some actress, and now this case of mistaken identity has spread all over the interwebs! i was obviously oblivious to the whole thing, so thank goodness my dapper friend nima was on hand to spice up the shots with a little color-coordination (i mean, his shoes plus my vest? amazing.). anyway, these photogs did me a favor, as i was having way too much fun to take any pics of my own. sometimes you just need to unplug, you know?!

but not for long. reliable programming will resume soon!

i'm currently coming to you from the airport, and am headed into two whirlwind days in LA (meetings mostly). after that i'll happily be rerouting toward palm springs, bound for coachella!! dreaming of days that look a lot like this:

{ simple suiting }

i've never been an itsy-bitsy-bikini kind of gal ~ i find one-piece swimsuits to be much more elegant and comfortable. lately, i find myself most strongly drawn to classic black styles that recall an old-hollywood aura ~ think grace kelly or marilyn monroe on the riviera.

chic as the look can be, it's still infuriatingly un-fun to shop for (especially when you wait until the last possible second and are in dire need, aka my usual routine) ~ which is why i've done a little pre-summer legwork for us all! here are my picks for the sweetest, simplest suits of the season:

{ top row: vitamin a spotted suit ($238), newport news side-lace suit ($59 ~ i put an order in for this one but have yet to test it out), lisa marie fernandez silver suit via kirna zabete ($385), white house black market ruffled v-neck ($78) // second row: threeasfour mesh-panel maillot via oak nyc ($222 ~ i picked this one up too and LOVE IT), juicy couture side-cinched suit ($164), spiegel corset-style suit ($15), cheap monday simple strapless suit ($52) }

then again, there are also a few totally on-trend, prada-spring 2011-approved, striped varietals currently catching my eye:

{ above: anthropologie bandeau ($144), tommy hilfiger striped maillot ($50), dkny one-shoulder suit ($108) }

finally, as far as coordinating cover-ups and accessories are concerned, i'm really loving:

{ missoni beach towel, classic panama hat (i bought mine last year at brimfield market, from the same guys who supply j.crew with their version), cheap monday dress via modcloth, j.crew leather capri sandals }

what's your poolside strategy this season? or am i the only one shopping like it's already summer?!

you've probably noticed me griping about the weather lately; it's been an especially long winter in new york. luckily, i have a quick trip to california booked for next month, and i'm looking at the planning of it as an opportunity to invest in a few accessory updates, which will help carry my existing wardrobe into the impending spring. usually i (irritatingly) wait till september to find the perfect pair of flat sandals ~ but this year i'm happily embracing a more proactive approach. here are a few things i'm currently stalking online ~ in fact, several of the sandals and sunnies are already on order:

{ above: karen walker 'number one' sunnies ($180), loeffler randall 'ondine' sandal ($325), j.crew 'silvana' sandal ($98) }

{ above: sam edelman 'gigi' sandal ($60), karen walker 'the village' sunnies ($210) }
