Mix Up Your Montauk

WGACA Vintage Chloe Top (similar knit or similar pineapple) / Vintage Moschino Pants via The Bargain District (similar or similar or similar) / Madewell Sandals / Gorjana Bracelet and Sophie Harper Ring via Rocksbox / Outlette Necklace and Rings 

With the Fourth of July approaching and just about every New Yorker heading to either the Hamptons or Montauk, I found it the perfect opportunity to highlight a look that will set you apart from the rest. One of my new favorite tops... maybe ever... is this vintage Chloe knit pineapple top. Island and vintage vibes make it a perfect choice for a hot summer day paired with denim cutoffs or overalls. I decided to chic it up a bit by adding these white, pinstripe Moschino trousers. A stiff material and oversized leg are a fresh take on the typical linen we adopt during the summer months. Keep a slouchy bottom by wearing them low rise with flat sandals. Shop similar links above and make a chic statement.

Vintage MaxMara Blazer / Forever 21 Top / Addison Shorts / Zara Sandals / Fossil Watch / Vintage Bracelets

One of my favorite things about vintage and thrift is the ability to find clothes that are beautifully constructed out of the best fabrics (designer or not) at a fraction of the price. Whether I'm shopping new or old, the material and construction are some key decision makers for me. If it doesn't feel, fit, stretch the way you want then it's not worth it!

During my last venture to the Hamptons, I found this linen MaxMara blazer at Collette Consignment for $100! The linen is so soft, and I love the slouchiness of the fit. A timeless summer piece, this blazer takes me everywhere from this white suit getup to my favorite cutoffs. Summer isn't over yet so keep those whites, linens, and silkies nearby! And always remember, when in doubt, all white keeps you minimal, chic, and flawless.

Dahlia Lace Dress (similar (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) / Bertie Gavino Platforms (similar) / Jules Smith Choker / Vintage Rings

One of my favorite things about summertime is the ability to just throw on a dainty white dress and instantly look chic. Whether you keep it minimal, dress it up or down, easy breezy dresses (especially lace ones) are a key summer staple. I found this dress during my first trip to Topshop in London in 2011. Since then, it has been my ultimate go-to when I have a closet full of clothes and "nothing to wear". Check out the links above to find yours!

Patricia Field Vintage Dress (similar) / Gianni Bini Heels (similar) / Jules Smith Choker

The Hamptons can be such a great people watching town... you never know who you will see. The first time I went I almost walked into Stanley Tucci and spotted Barbara Walters brunching. This year, it was Kelly Ripa. We were shooting along this little sidewalk and she walks right on by with the fam. Just as beautiful in person.

But anyways, to clothes. I snagged this number at Patricia Field's during the same shopping trip for the polkadot romper and the 80s jean jacket. Such epic finds there! I love the silhouette of this dress. It's so flattering for various shapes and sizes, and the colors are perfect for summer! This would be a great outfit for any summer event or a BBQ in the Hamptons perhaps ;)
