District L

Curiously conquering the aftermaths of our eventful Saturday evenings, DL-and-friends met for Sunday brunch at Caliu.

“Perfect. Just small enough for us to get kicked out,” we mused aloud, as we descended upon the cozy West Village establishment in leather, fur, and last-night’s hair. We quickly began our bottomless mimosa session, sunglasses barely concealing our caustic glances at neighboring tables, and ordered enough Papas Bravas to soak up the afternoon.

Our second stop was the Tribeca Grand Hotel for serious coffee consumption, gold-flecked chocolate tarts, and… an afternoon nap. Yup, it’s all fun and games until someone passes out in The Lounge.

Thankfully, this Pre-Fall season was all about uncomplicated brunch-dressing – easy layering, oversized fur, and playfully grown-up accessories. And it’s okayyy… we’re not real adults yet.

Crisp, yet relaxed tailoring in clean, monochromatic palettes: New York’s Resort collections are challenging the definition of elegance. Evolving from current bohemian street-styles, industry insiders predict a refreshing shift within the 70s trend – a gentle pull towards body-skimming looks. In an abstract journey from sand to city, our bags will be packed with wide-leg pants, elongating dresses, and contoured booties.

The Raveonettes are a melodious nod towards the sepia-washed return of 1970s style. Reinvented with a more modern application of the synth, The Raveonettes provide a playlist that's perfect for the feathered, ankle-grazing and breezy looks of summer.

As relaxed as the leisure suit, yet as distinguishable as a floral print, The Raveonettes will bring their buoyant tunes to South Street Seaport - Pier 17 on Sunday, July 31.
