turtle's pace

 


Done right, a turtleneck can make you toasty and stylish when you really need to check both boxes, and boy, did I need to last night, dining al fresco at The Chateau Marmont. I could use more of this layering staple, for it not only yields a welcome dose of warmth but it almost disappears underneath more interesting, statement-y pieces yet also adds extra flair to basics, proof above and below. The (Vogue-sanctioned) holy grail of black turtlenecks by Sold Out, pictured below, is now on sale for Black Friday, but these other options from Velvet, Perfect White Tee, and J.Crew Factory also work. P.S. I'm simply into the idea of covering up to my neck in the Pixie Market, the cashmere White + Warren, which comes with a detachable collar (!), below, or this tie-accented Toccin that exudes fashion-insider elegance.

prime pull-overs



Yesterday my friend and I decided to take advantage of the late afternoon sunshine and enjoy lunch outside at Croft Alley in Beverly Hills. The crisp fall air called something cozy, so we ordered extra crispy french fries and a hearty tuna melt to pair with our warm layers. Of course, being perpetually cold, I needed more than one--though all I had was a lightweight Tanya Taylor jacket (chic, but not exactly insulating). Meanwhile my friend stayed toasty in a Varley jacket, which I couldn't help but covet not only for the added warmth, but for its versatility. I could already picture myself wearing it to the gym, on the slopes, and, yes, for lunches in Beverly Hills! Caught in this cozy buttoned-up mindset, I couldn't resist an impulse buy: the Oncept pullover. It's not just a style statement but it's the perfect blend of comfort and practicality, and I already know it will become a staple in my wardrobe. Along with others: this distinctly cool jacquard-print  J.Crew and this fleece Polo Ralph Lauren that emanates Aspen sweater-weather. 




the real deals

 


From my closet to yours: all the designer discounts you could ever want/might need for holiday shopping can be found in my latest Substack, including deals on my Adina Reyter jewelry! My gift to you! 





catbird on the fly

 


By now, I could pack for a weekend trip back home to New York with my eyes closed. I criss-cross the country like a seasoned bird, instinctively adjusting to what’s needed. One constant in my suitcase is my jewelry travel kit–however, what’s inside is constantly changing. On my last trip to the city, it was jam-packed with delicate baubles by Catbird, including necklaces that were specifically designed to shine alone or layer like crazy, along with outfit-punctuating earrings and sparkly bracelets. Because day turns into night in a New York minute, I make sure that what I have on in the morning will radiate in the evening. Take a look at what I packed and how I wore it all from coffee at Frenchette to dinner at Eel Bar–with shopping, work meetings, and elevator rides in between. P.S. Catbird's biggest sale of the year, offering 20% off site-wide on over 1,000 pieces, starts today and runs through December 2. In other words, now would be a good time to (self) gift!

twin traits


 

I've never considered myself a biker boot type of person but my twin sister just proved it might actually be in my DNA. She recently scooped up this new pair by J.Crew--so naturally I did too. And while I was at it, I discovered another surprising style trait: this out-of-the-blue bright yellow James Street sweater. My new zebra bag, by the way, is from Ann Mashburn.

to a tee

 


As everyone knows I spend a good chunk of my days shopping--but now it turns out, I'm even shopping in my sleep. Last night I purchased this perfectly-oversized Apiece Apart t-shirt, inspired by my sister who recently bought it, and then I opened my own store, dedicated solely to selling t-shirts. Might as well turn this dream of mine into reality today and share with you a tight edit of current best-in-market t-shirts by perfectwhitetee, Victoria Beckham (below), Madewell and Toteme
