Weather Vain: Los Angeles, California - 72 and Partly Cloudy
Tomorrow, I head to L.A. (to meet Claire, who’s already there!). Here’s what I’d be jonesing to wear if I was coast-swapping a day earlier. —erica
Clockwise from top left:
+ A Blk Denim leather jacket that’s just wishing, hoping, praying for warm weather.
+ Hoops! Brought to you by K/LLER and ready for a day of shopping on Melrose, West Third, or Sunset.
+ An Eayrslee wallet that proves you aren’t scared of those sunny, Cali hues.
+ A just-nautical Whit dress—take it out for some peel-and-eat shrimp at Son of a Gun.
+ The kind of House of Harlow shades that dot the pages of Us Weekly.
+ Cool girl, I-live-in-Laurel-Canyon shoes (boots? sandals? both?) from LD Tuttle.

In Character: Buster Bluth
Here, a look that attracts both seals and Lucilles.
A rainbow-color Gitman Brothers Vintage shirt, purchased by Mother and ironed by Lupe.
Mason’s chinos in a hue that pays tribute to his drug of choice: juice.

Next Level: Laid-Back Lace
NEWSFLASH: Lace doesn’t have to be all prissy. Srsly! Here, four takes that are fly with ratty jeans and bedhead. —erica
LEVEL I: Yarnz delivers a lace-print scarf—and, adding in a few other motifs, doesn’t even make you fully commit.
LEVEL II: This Ella Moss sweatshirt belongs at a sunny cafe table, not at the gym.
LEVEL III: 3.1 Phillip Lim goes pseudo-stripy in a really killer way. And see what’s happening with the white pants? A good pairing call.
LEVEL IV: It doesn’t get more slouchy-cool than this Raquel Allegra jacket. Take the plunge.

Next Level: Varsity Jackets
These days, you don’t have to earn a letterman jacket—you just have to want one. And, dear god, do I. Here, four that knock it out of the park. —erica
LEVEL I: This 10 Crosby Derek Lam puppy has a blazer-like quality that makes it especially easy to rock—like, picture it with a pencil skirt.
LEVEL II: The tweed on this Roseanna one is all deconstructed and French-y. Bonus: It’s a total black-brown switch hitter.
LEVEL III: Spring training, the Rag & Bone way.
LEVEL IV: WHOA, Clover Canyon! But how ridiculously cool would this be with white jeans?!

There’s something very “All I Ask of You” about this Rachel Roy jacket. Obviously in a good way. —erica

Weather Vain: Barcelona, Spain - 63 With a Chance of Rain
Right about now, NYC weather is making us wish for more temperate climes…and, ok, papas bravas. Here’s what we’d love to be rockin’ in Barcelona today. —erica
Clockwise from top left:
+ An easy, no-nonsense M. Patmos dress that can handle too many tapas at Quimet y Quimet.
+ The sort of Jérôme Dreyfuss bag that Gaudí would be allll about.
+ An Iro jacket fancy enough for some shopping in Eixample.
+ The sort of Acne boots that would fit right in at the bar Hook—as in, the movie (and, ok, lots of other places, too).
+ Fortune Favors the Brave studs—the sort of easy-to-pack jewelry that you can wear every damn day.
+ A Nettie Kent necklace that feels as polished-but-quirky as the city itself.

Next Level: Patchwork Denim
Considering our affection for all things denim, it’s hardly shocking that we’re way into the denim mashups that we’re seeing all over the place these days. Four of the best ways to go… —erica
LEVEL I: Maison Scotch does girl-next-door in a just-Nashville way.
LEVEL II: Jean jacket goes from classic to waaaaaay cool with Citizens of Humanity. Now, how bout a leather tank underneath?
LEVEL III: Love the idea of this Acne top tucked into some ankle-grazing black trousers.
LEVEL IV: Oh, what the HAY. Why not through some blue leathers in the mix, too? That’s the MiH way.

Next Level: Metallic Sleeves
Bill Cunningham thinks it’s all about black leather sleeves. We’re with him (evidence!) and are willing to push things further: How’s about metallics? Here, four with-black ways to go. —erica
LEVEL I: This Generation Love top’s super easy in a Saturday-with-Serena van der Woodsen way.
LEVEL II: Tibi gets lacy without going too girly—tough to do.
LEVEL III: Why not do metallic AND leather, c/o this Aiko shirt? Marc Summers double dares you.
LEVEL IV: You (and David Bowie) would look so freaking fly in Maison Scotch’s take on the black moto jacket.

There’s something so freaking Lapo Elkann slick about a shawl collar done in a casual way (via Baron Wells). —erica
