Rachel Antonoff For Bass Oxfords Are ON SALE At Dear Fieldbinder, Which I LOVE, BTW

$35, Rachel Antonoff x Bass, Dear Fieldbinder

Here's some MOST excellent news if you've been pining after a pair of Rachel Comey for Bass Oxfords like I have. The slip-on Zoe oxfords in black and beige are on sale at Dear Fieldbinder for just $35.

Also, speaking of Dear Fieldbinder, if I haven't said it before, I'll say it now: this is absolutely my favorite boutique in all of Brooklyn. (No, this is not paid content -- I'm just a HUGE fan of this shop.) Not that I've been to EVERY clothing store in Brooklyn, mind you. But of the ones I've been to, it's my favorite. It's WAY more affordable than Bird, I actually find the selection to be far more fun and interesting (really, Bird? $575 for a blue canvas smock? Not trying to hate, but Bird's selection seems to have gotten more and more staid over the years). And Dear Fieldbinder lacks the yoga-lady love-the-earth vibe that plagues a lot of Brooklyn boutiques. (Note: I LOVE both yoga and the earth, but you don't see me rolling around in saffron-colored linen pants, a flowy tunic with a dharma embroidered on it, and crusty comfort sandals. Pull it together, some of Brooklyn! And by "some of Brooklyn," I of course specifically mean some of Park Slope and Boerum Hill.) Every time I stop by, I discover a new indie designer like Collina Strada or Something Else By Natalie Wood or Wood Wood, and I discover that something I wanted before has been generously marked down. Like those Rachel Antoff Bass oxfords! Which I got in black. Now you go!

Lust List: Rachel Roy & Keds Hi-Tops, Tie-Dye For Non Hippies, And The Best Summer Bag EVAR!

Welcome to my weekly lust list -- my fantasy shopping list of things I'd happily purchase right this moment... if only you were paying.

($99, Rachel Roy)

It was love at first click for me and these Rachel Roy blue Adinah hi-tops, created with surfer Karina Petroni. Love the summery surf fabric and I love that they're slip-ons. Honestly, being vehemently anti flip-flops (they're terrible and cheap!!! Step your GAME up!), these are a perfect substitute. 

($264, Collina Strada, DearFieldbinder)

I mean... a better summer bag has never existed. Leather, canvas, a happy little shadowy tic print, and plenty of compartments.

($19.99, Calypso For Target)

I've said it before, I'll say it again, and I'll keep repeating it if need be. Tie-dye can be HORRIBLE. TERRIBLE. Any Jerry Garcia-leaning swirls-and-fractals tee makes me want to gouge my eyes out with a brooch, straight-up Oedipus style. The ONLY way to do tie-dye acceptably is ONE color with few circles or stripes. For example: the tie-dye tops from the Calypso for Target collection. I'm pretty stoked for a super easy orange tie-dye tee (I think they come in a bright pink too). The collection hits Target stores May 1.

($90, Alexis Bittar)

That little pop of fuchsia in there? That's love.

($70, Keds)

Keds is rolling out their "How Do You" road trip series, which pairs (har) a pair of urban-inspired, limited-edition Keds with a city and a charity. My favorites of the collection are the hi-top foldover Champion LA Keds. They're lightweight, and, once again, perfect for flip-flop skeevers like myself.

Bea Arthur Probably Wants Me To Buy This Leopard Print Blazer, Right?

($108, MinkPink, Shopnastygal.com)

I feel like the late, great Bea Arthur is communicating to me from beyond, telling me to purchase this leopard print cardigan. It's SO perfectly Dorothy Zborniak. (And a little Joy Behar.) By the way, I have a leopard print MinkPink tank from Dear Fieldbinder, and that brand is the business. Their fit is fantastic and the prices are no nonsense, just like Dorothy herself.

The American Retro Elvis Blazer Got All 'West Side Story On Me'

I was shopping in the always-fabulous Dear Fieldbinder when I happened upon this pin-studded beige blazer by American Retro.

($436, American Retro, Shopbop)

The record skipped and stopped, the skies parted, a fire escape descended from the ceiling and suddenly, I found myself wearing a virginal lilac nightgown and demure ballet flats, singing this:
