I'm back from Jackson Hole and so is my Substack! After a three-day stretch of crisp Teton air, powder-fresh runs, and the kind of stillness that stirs up novel ideas, I'm returning to newness, below: the $15 Mango faux fur scarf, the H&M linen drawstring phone bag, the eyelet jeans, the Mille leopard-print coat, the double belted Pixie Market skirt and the leather-strapped Dorothee Schumacher dress.
It's 28 degrees outside, snowflakes are falling and my quads are on fire from yesterday's non-stop powder runs--however, all I can think about is spring flinging: lapping up sunshine, showing some skin, and breezing around in warm weather style. In this ideal spring-y world, I'd be head to toe in Reformation's just-out collection, featuring the denim bomber, above, the eyelet two-piece set, below, plus these cute gingham cropped pants and this linen mini, ready for all the rays!
New York's out-there outerwear is injecting a vibrant burst of energy into the heart of winter's gloom. Just in time, because many of these bold looks are now on sale, poised to brave the elements to the bitter end (and into next winter too!). Some options include this faux fur Bernardo, this Sacai trench, this Altuzarra, and this Fleurette.

For me, New York Fashion Week's true magic can be found in the unexpected, blink-and-you'll-miss-it details off the runways: the deliberate weight of a tassel necklace cascading over a turtleneck, the effortless loop of a scarf that catches the wind just right, the hip-cinching belt that pulls everything together. These are the signifiers of cool, the micro-trends that telegraph what's next before it becomes a full-blown movement. The key to pulling off these flourishes is making them look effortless, unforced--the kind of styling that feels at once spontaneous and impeccably curated. For an instant ahead-of-the-curve vibe, swap out your layered necklaces for a single long statement necklace. (Olivia, below, is wearing an onyx and sterling silver necklace by Le Sundial and a large silver shell pendant by Juju Vera.) Etsy has some stunning well-priced vintage options like this and this; H&M has one too! Leandra Cohen, last pic, twirls a black silk sash around her neck to take her tank and jeans from well-dressed to unforgettable. That layered wrap-around scarf that looks unintentionally thrown on (see second to last pic) can be executed flawlessly with some help from Cos. To get a jump on the newsboy caps shown at Khaite, last pic, head here. Random other styling shortcuts: this denim GAP cape jacket (part of the "Gapaissance!"), Line & Dot trench ($148) and layered knit, and this Ganni leopard-print coat. Remember, at the end of the day, it's not just what we wear, but how we wear it!

Looks like the biggest street style star of New York is winter-white denim. How to wear it right now? With cold-weather statements: leather, shearling, oversized knits, and plenty of layering (Leandra, above, is wearing a down Bogner underneath for extra warmth with high-waisted skinny ankle slit jeans! Ramya, immediately below, is working fringed High Sport pants). The best most flattering white denim in the market: Pistola (in ecru and sold out everywhere but here), AGOLDE, Still Here, Khaite and Madewell.
While white jeans in winter has long been a thing, what's new--and about to be big--is the funnel shirt. NYC-based cult brand TWP, known for its signature button-down shirts, showcased the fresh silhouette this past week, layered under everything from sweaters to jackets. Trust me, it's a must-have in the making. I am jumping on this trend now with this version from Cos and this on-sale organza Toteme.

I had planned to be in New York today for fashion week, but, to say the least, unexpected events changed my course. Instead, I am tuning in from LA, ready to share what I'm liking--at a New York minute's pace!
1. As I reported earlier this week here, (faux) fur is flying everywhere, and it seems everyone, including Vogue editor Madeline Fass, above, is opting for plush pieces by Paris-based Nour Hammour. Meanwhile, Apparis has a ton of fluff for a lot less on sale--I want to work this faux alpaca peacoat!
2. Even with the first few Fall 2025 shows (Toteme, Brandon Maxwell, Lemaire), the black turtleneck remains everywhere. Consider it the winter equivalent of summer's white classic t-shirt. Read: a must have! Of course, Leandra Cohen, below, is already on it. She swears by Spendid's $60 version; I have this looser-fitting one by Vince. Both perfect for layering.
The fact that everyone wore the same jacket to the Aligne dinner last night in NYC--some in navy, others in black--speaks to its versatility and undeniable appeal. With its distinct flared-at-the waist silhouette and crew neckline, the fitted design is the epitome of this season's trend, making it a must-have (dinner-out) statement piece. I also like these other versions from 4th & Reckless, Favorite Daughter and Theory (on sale!).
