Weather Vain: Williamsburg, Brooklyn - 77 With a Chance of T-Storms
Today is totally one of those what-do-I-wear?! days for the L train contingent. It’s warm but not hot. And how much is it going to rain? Here, our prescription. —erica
Clockwise from top left:
+ A lightweight, breathable Raquel Allegra tee that won’t get too sweaty on the Lorimer platform.
+ A kick-ass Mociun ring—the jewelry phenom’s store is one of the best in the ‘hood!
+ A borderline-genius short-sleeve rain jacket from Boy by Band of Outsiders.
+ K/LLER earrings—ready for a night on the Wythe Hotel roof should the clouds part.
+ A super-hard-working clutch made by equally industrious local designer Collina Strada.
+ Some of the sleekest rain boots around, by Loeffler Randall.
+ A Christopher Kon wallet, to match the BBQ at BrisketTown.
+ Mother jeans that will hold up JUST FINE if they get splashed by a black car on Bedford.

The One-Song Intro: “Youth Without Youth”
The Look, Recreated: Casual basics with some edge, like geometric-print shorts from Vena Cava, a destroyed black tee from Obesity & Speed, black ankle boots from New Kid, and caramel sunglasses from Karen Walker. —liza darwin

In Character: Felicity Shagwell
“Get in my belly,” “Mini-me, you complete me,” “I’m dead sexy”—there’s no forgetting Austin Powers. Or Heather Graham prancing around all long legs, big hair, and doe eyes. This is how she rocked it as a CIA agent who went to great lengths to place that tracking device. —erica
A crocheted Viva Vena! dress that matches the beam of that GD laser…and Fat Bastard’s back hair.
The sort of Parker romper that’s still hot in 1999.
Vince over-the-knee boots, ideal for a jaunt to Dr. Evil’s moon base.

Weather Vain: Joshua Tree, California - 54 and Partly Cloudy
Take a hike—we wish someone would tell us that today and that we’d get to jet west to chill with some Joshua trees and desert wildlife. Here’s what we’d wear after a morning making our way up Warren Peak. —erica

+ Rag & Bone camo pants that will blend right in with the cacti.
