The vintage Patricia von Musulin earrings styled b The vintage Patricia von Musulin earrings styled by Roberto Johnson in this story from The Cut take me straight back to the 1980s. I'm sure we carried the exact pair at Lina Lee during my years employed at the Beverly Hills store. If I dig deep, I might still have them!​​​​​​​​

I can’t wait for warmer weather to wear easy sum I can’t wait for warmer weather to wear easy summer looks like this. This #ASCENO would be so simple to dress up or down with jewelry, flats or heels. And these #LOROPIANA brown sandals are fabulous classics. Both pieces would be the starting point for several outfits.

My must have summer accessories will always include stylish sunglasses. The @saltoptics x @amareesnewport frames are my current go-tos checking all the right boxes. Add my new petite Bottega bag and I’ll be good to go.

Meanwhile, I discovered the instagram account of @cauvarjao highlighting gorgeous properties in Brasil and Portugal like the home pictured here. So beautiful! Take a look!
