In this time of "Back To Basics" I thought perhaps I should take it literally. So here are a few of the basics I love...
- Petit Bateau tissue weight tees
- Steven Alan's Reverse Seam crisp cotton shirts
- Bruce Springsteen
- Billy Kirk's beautifully wrought Amish made skinny leather belts
- An Epice scarf- perhaps not quite basic, but bright, accomplished and fun
- Havaianas. Perfection in the form of a flip flop
- Loomstate Karma jeans. Organic, straight legged Americana
- Kai perfume oil. Fresh gardenias, bright sunshine and clear green grass- the heart of spring/summer in a bottle
- Nutella
- Utility Canvas throw. Sturdy, bright and ever so versatile
And just for fun...the Not Quite Basic List (dear cousin to the above)
- Lisa Curran's gorgeous, flattering and comfy swimsuits
- Mexican embroidered cotton blouse, a colorful and perfect accompaniment to Lisa's suits
- The Summer Boot from Coclico. Earth friendly, foot friendly and adds a sophisticated toughness to all of Springs floaty fabrics
- Hartford's bright cotton cardigans
- Erica Tanov's sexy, subtle and luxurious silk slips
- Cydwoq sandals. Unusual, unusually comfortable and effortlessly cool
- Armand Diradourian's summer weight cashmere wrap- perhaps this should have been a basic?
- An Araks "Uma" bra. Wrenchingly lovely
- Alexander Juarez's hand crocheted necklaces
- Virginia Johnson's Grecian style whale printed dress
