Jetting Off on the Jitney

As summer in the city draws nearer (ever so slowly,  go away rain and 50 degrees!) the thought of long sunny days lounging on the beach-- sunnies, iced tea-lemonade and ipod on hand-- comes to mind. Just dreaming about the lazy strolls along Main Street makes me dream about the perfect weekend wardrobe to accompany it. Transitional items are a must for anyone looking to maximize wow-factor and minimize packing space. A few key pieces are all you need to look your East Hamptons best.

#1 Embellished Cuff
The rose gold and gems on this cuff are a fresh combo for summer, adding sophistication and glamour when paired with a billowing caftan. Wear it stacked or as a statement piece. Look for less, here.

#2 A Bit of Sparkle
Something about wearing white in the summer just feels right. I'd pair this dress with a crisp peach blazer and a cool clear plastic clutch (check out Chanel's Cassette Clutch) for a late lunch/ early dinner.

#3 Shoe Stoppers

I am of the camp "more is more" when it comes to shoes. The crazier the shoe gets the more I love it. Charlotte Olympia just does it right.  

#4 Sunnies
Shield your eyes from harsh sun rays in style with this gorgeous eye candy.

#5 Tye-Dye

Summer wouldn't be summer without tye-dye. It's like the 'something blue' at a wedding. The fabric is light and easy for those warmer climates. Added bonus: this top doubles as a cute beach cover-up!
