In Character: Kat Stratford

Everyone loves 10 Things I Hate About You—no, seriously: It’s one of my dad’s favorite movies. And part of the magic is grouchy, eye-roll-y Julia Stiles who couldn’t help but smile during that whole Heath Ledger serenade scene. Here’s how she owned the role of WAY less enthusiastic sister. —erica

Textile by Elizabeth and James jeans in *blue* camo—tough and alterna.

The sort of Vanessa Mooney necklace that says, “I’m going to Sarah Lawrence College, ok?”

An un-body-con Acne dress that’s a real curveball at prom.

Weather Vain: Nashville, Tennessee - 77 and Partly Cloudy

image

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.

Want more “Weather Vain?” You got it.

Next Level: Tassels

You know how people say they’ll be somewhere “with bells on?” Well, here’s to a much quieter—and thus more considerate—alternative. And one that feels just as festive. —erica

LEVEL I: The metal tassel—which kind of looks like a sea creature?—gives this beaded Vanessa Mooney bracelet a little extra polish.

LEVEL II: This Smythe top = very wench-next-door. Elizabeth Swann, watch your back.

LEVEL III: Tassels on shoes are hardly a new thing, but decking out Acne sandals instead of loafers, they look supa fresh.

LEVEL IV: Whoa, nutso scarf! This Reality Studio creation would take a white tank to (adorable) new heights. 

Get more “Next Level!” Wheeee!

In Character: Veruca Salt

There were a lot of detestable things about Veruca “I want it NOW!” Salt, but her style was not one of them. Granted, the little rich girl got anything she wanted, so she should have had a look that gave even Mr. Wonka’s a run for his money/everlasting gobstoppers. —erica

A prim Rachel Antonoff dress the color of cherries and rage.

A faux fur from One Teaspoon that’s just holding her over until Daddy buys her a real mink one, like, tomorrow.

Among the beads on this Vanessa Mooney necklace: golden eggs.

If you’re not getting out of town this summer, you can still fake like this Vanessa Mooney bracelet was a souvenir. Won’t tell. —erica

Of a Kind

Vanessa Mooney (whose great-grandfather was ¼ of the Warner in Warner Bros.) makes a locket for the kind of girl who thinks yoga is a lifestyle, not a class. —erica
