Weather Vain: London, England - 75 With a 50% Chance of Rain

Shocker of all shockers: You could be looking at a wet day if you’re in London. Here, what to wear if you’re hangin’ with either Kate M. —erica

Clockwise from top left:

+ One of the many nice things about this ultra-rich Hare + Hart bag: You can tuck it under your arm to shield it from any showers.

+ Melissa is the queen of PVC (yup, that’s a good thing), and you’ll get a boatload of wear of of these slick little slip-ons.

+ To hell with the basic khaki ones. This leopard trench from Jane Post is a cool as the exhibitions at White Cube.

+ The illusion of stacking jewelry is always easier to pull of that having to layer the stuff yourself, and Fortune Favors the Brave kills it on that front.

+ The easiest-to-wear slip dress ever? Why, this silky, nineties-revival one from Acne.

+ Wear just the studs of these Bande des Quatres earrings for a day in Shoreditch, and add the pendants for dinner at St. John Hotel.

Of a Kind

I’m not here to make your other earrings feel like slackers or anything, but, well, the ones the mother-daughter team behind Bande des Quatres made us work way harder than they do. Not only can you wear them long and dangly, mixing their sterling silver and oxidized silver parts all up, but you can also detach the architectural charms and wear them as just little (diamond-flecked!) studs. Boss. —erica

Weather Vain: Palm Springs, California - 88 and Clear

Palm Springs is the best spring getaway—you heard it here first. Or maybe you didn’t. But point is: Here’s what I wish I was wearing now in the city I’ll be invading in T-Minus 12 hours. —erica

Clockwise from top left:

+ The print on tote that Lina Rennell made Of a Kind would make all the Knoll-trolling gays jelly.

+ Mymu has the chic espadrille thing down pat.

+ It’s legit hot—if this featherweight Lemlem situation isn’t cool enough, grab a date shake from Palm Springs Fudge & Chocolates.

+ These Karen Walker shades are about as retro-cool as the just-opened Saguara Hotel.

+ This Bande Des Quatres ring is as boxy—and stunning—as the Kaufmann House.
