Plus some pink pants.

Some luminescent pants, some handsome burl furniture on auction at Housing Works, and a $16 (???) Cynthia Rowley dress. Plus unisex summer shoes. We have eyes everywhere! —Katy Schneider & Simone Kitchens

  • These expensive dresses by new brand Meruert Tolegen are extremely pretty and cool.

  • We can attest that these pink vintage Dosas are the best pants for this summer. (Or any color Dosa. But the pink ones are luminescent.) 

  • If we had a limitless supply of money, we would probably immediately buy these so-beautiful, generally unavailable-for-casual-purchase Megumi Shauna Arai curtains.

  • If you want capris, these from Zara get the job done and don’t feel cheap-cheap. 

  • Really been wanting a Cynthia Rowley tube dress lately, so slightly stunned to find a good one going for $16 on the RealReal! Wonder why Cynthia Rowley is so devalued. In other pretty-vintage-dresses news: (1) this one from Blumarine, (2) a beautiful Prada for under $200, (3) a beautiful Prada for only slightly over $200.

  • MoMA remains a font of nice outdoor furniture. See: this lounge chair. But this $99 wire Ikea one is also good.

  • We just found this great Swedish knob company, Spaces Within. We particularly like this sturdy door pull in polished nickel and this elongated swoosh of a handle in dark brass. It’s a big knob week, given that Monica Khemsurov just launched her knob company, Petra. Very obsessed with these spiral knobs.

  • We ID’d Hari Nef’s floral Yves Delorme bedding, spotted in her Apartamento home tour. Sold out, it seems, but pieces here and there on eBay. Really love it.

  • Koko Momo makes some great giant-fitting kids’ pants.

Justin Dean, men’s buying director at Kith, shares his favorite summer shoes.

  • I’ve owned these Lemaire fisherman sandals for about a year and a half. I wear them with shorts, with pants, with socks, without socks. I’ve probably worn them more with pants and socks than with shorts because I love them so much. It’s a very functional historical style with a square closed toe. I love an elegant take on a practical item. I wear them biking, walking, standing at my desk — I wear them all the time.

  • There’s also the Paraboot Pacific sandal, I have those in dark brown and black. They’re even a bit more casual, so lightweight and easy. Growing up, I saw the style on older men, and it always inspired me. 

  • The Keen Targhee sandal is a great everyday shoe that’s not $500. The sandal would look really cool if you were in all Lemaire on top, then a Keen sandal on the bottom. Or just with a pair of Gramicci shorts — that’s a good weekend look. And these sandals are waterproof. 

  • And I love to wear the Lemaire piped slipper with white Comme Si socks; that’s my spring-summer rotation. Today, I’m wearing that combination with Junya Watanabe pants.
