Weekend Warrior: Hilary Rhoda's Best in Beach Looks
July 2, 2012 by Hilary Rhoda
LOOK #1:The Fourth of July is my favorite holiday, so I have naturally started celebrating early by incorporating some red, white, and blue into my looks. I found this cute-as-can-be Mickey Mouse t-shirt with cut off sleeves from TopShop last year and wear it all the time. Sometimes I tuck it into a skirt to make it a little more dressed up, but for this outfit I paired it with sexy, 70s style (low waist, ankle crop) jeans from Current/Elliott. They have tiny polkadots all over them which adds some fun to anotherwise plain pair of jeans. I've never worn white shoes until I bought this strappy pair with wooden heels from Alexander Wang. They're the perfect summer shoe. Another accessory perfect for summer? This Rebecca Minkoff M.A.C. canvas purse. I love the cool blues and tan leather accents, it goes with everything! Completing my look was my fave Michael Kors rose gold watch.
LOOK #2 On Friday night I went to a dinner party at Sunset Beach on Shelter Island. The name gives it away: I'm convinced it's the most spectacular place on Long Island to see the sunset. I showed up in a pretty casual outfit of a tank top and jean shorts. Anything can be casual when you're at the beach, after all! However, there is a gift shop attached to the charming Sunset Beach Hotel and during the cocktail hour of this party thrown by Harry Winston, I wandered in and perused the racks. I found a stunning, backless black dress by Haute Hippie and slipped behind the canvas curtains to try it on. I am a sucker for anything backless... I had to have this dress! The saleswoman cut off the tags for me and I walked back into that party feeling fabulous. My Panama hat and K. Jacques studded sandals made the look effortless and still casual enough for the beach.
LOOK #3: A few years ago, the incredibly talented designer, Thakoon, made me a dress for the Met Gala, "the Oscars of Fashion." During my fittings for that dress at his studio, he let me peek around at some of the other looks from his ready-to-wear line. One of the dresses I took home was this sheer purple chiffon floaty number. It has some red accents in it and incredible detailing. My mom and I share clothes, so after I wore it a few times, I gave it to her to enjoy. I recently rediscovered this stunning dress and remembered why I loved it so much. On Saturday evening, I went to a lovely garden party in Bridgehampton, NY and knew this would be perfect! I paired it with my Alex Wang strappy white sandals and new Dannijo earrings that pulled everything together with its red and purple crystals.
