Next Level: Confetti!
Tell me this: What print’s more FESTIVE than confetti—or, to borrow from Pillsbury, funfetti? Here, four pieces ready for a party. —erica
LEVEL I: So sweet with its drop waist, this Cythia Rowley situation is just asking for an afternoon wedding.
LEVEL II: Dreaming of this Julien David collared shirt with some super-light-wash jeans.
LEVEL III: The patches of neon on this Corey Lynn Calter dress keep it far away from The Help costume closet.
LEVEL IV: Bursts of blue, yellow, and purple turn these Thierry Lasry tortoiseshell shades just a little CrAzY.

Weather Vain: Santa Fe, New Mexico - 91 and Partly Cloudy
Just cause you’re hot doesn’t mean you can’t look cool. Right? RIGHT?! Here, how to show The City Different what you’re made of. —erica
Clockwise from top left:
+ A sleeveless collared shirt from Boy. by Band of Outsiders—as classic as a blue corn burriot lunch at The Shed.
+ So sleek and cool—this VPL bra would fit right in at the Photo Eye book store (even if nobody there sees it).
+ These Illesteva shades—to literally view this steamy Monday through rose-colored glasses.
+ Carry this Acne bag by the handle, and spare yourself at least some of the sweatiness.
+ A Lucy Folk bracelet that can hang with the wares at the Railyard Artisan Market.
+ Elizabeth and James flatforms—so you can stand in front of that Georgia O’Keeffe as long as you’d like.
+ Pull on this Friend of Mine skirt for a fancy-schmance dinner at Luminaria; pass out in your bed at the attached Inn and Spa at Loretto right after.

Ok, yes, so these Sheriff & Cherry sunglasses are totally nuts. But they’re also a pretty solid reminder to loosen the eff up. —erica

Weather Vain: Houston, Texas - 95 and Partly Cloudy
We’re kinda on a Texas kick these days…which is making us want to head to Houston. Here’s what to wear if you’re in town for this hot one. —erica
Clockwise from top left:
+ A necklace by Sophie Hulme featuring a camel—an animal that totally gets how to deal with these temps.
+ Slim stacking rings by House of Harlow—chic enough for the River Oaks crew.
+ The sort of silk dress by Kain that looks impossibly cool at the bar at Oxheart, with a super-icy beer.
+ Common Projects sandals—in case you want to play a few games of badminton after dinner at Brooklyn Athletic Club.
+ So you can pull that sweaty hair off your neck: a schmancy Bao Bao Issey Miyake hair tie.
+ A IIIBeCa bag that goes with everything in its boldness.
+ Kenzo snakeskin shades—you’ll need them if you’re going to stroll Montrose (and duck into shops for A/C as much as possible, obvs).

Next Level: Tortoiseshell Shades
Tortoiseshell sunglasses—doesn’t get much more classic than that. Hell, Thomas Crown, Holly Golightly, and James Bond have all worn them. Here, four ways to freshen ‘em up without going too crazy. —erica
LEVEL I: This Illesteva pair is just oversize and totally timeless.
LEVEL II: Basic aviators looks a whole lot more special in the care of 3.1 Phillip Lim.
LEVEL III: See that double bridge? It keeps these fly frames from The Row from looking at all retro.
LEVEL IV: On these Carven guys, the tortoiseshell is like an accent, warming up the army green, white, and metal bits is a strikingly cool way.

These Westward Leaning shades would absolutely get the Doc Brown seal of approval. —erica

Track Star: Emily Haines of Metric
The Vibe: Snappy indie-rock hooks, throbbing dark dance beats, and lyrics so catchy you can’t help but sing along.
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

Weather Vain: Nashville, Tennessee - 77 and Partly Cloudy
God, what a ridiculously gorgeous day in Music City. Here’s what to wear if you’re lucky enough to be bopping (boot-scooting?) around town. —erica
Clockwise from top left:
+ Madison Harding wedges that would go equally well with jeans from the local hotspot Imogene + Willie.
+ A Rebecca Taylor dress that could hang onstage at the Ryman.
+ Sunglasses from Kate Spade Saturday—beautiful-weather, hang-outside essentials.
+ A IIIBeCa bag the color or a buttery biscuit (with or without the gravy)
+ A Delfina Delettrez ring as hot as a reservation at The Catbird Seat.
+ Earrings—from Vanessa Mooney—ready for a late night at Tootsies.

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.
