LE CATCH

As my twin sister is wont to do after weeks apart, she arrived at my house the other day with a bag of new clothes for me to try on, just so she could see what it actually looks like on her. Yes, it's a twin thing. Not only did she approve of the new pieces on me, all by Unsubscribed, but I did, too--and immediately procured some for myself, including the full-leg Unsubscribed leather pants, above, the hefty collared cashmere sweater, below, and the skirt set, which she was happy to model herself, last pic, with my knee-high boots. Check out more new Unsubscribed goodies here!

The oversized barn jackets that paraded down Prada's Spring 2024 runway has already harvested a plum iteration in my wardrobe via a vintage Carhartt I scored at the Santa Monica flea market this past weekend. I love the idea of juxtaposing it with more feminine, fanciful, and even sheer silhouettes. Join the barn party here. Other options from Uniqlo, J.Crew and Wyeth.

My everyday dressing could use a not-so-everyday skirt and loafer combination.

Pardon the Saturday interruption but I just want to bring your attention to some breathtaking collections (here and here), along with the Loewe denim skirt, above, that will see you through weekdays and weekends to come (and then some).

The je ne sais quoi of French style--that undefinable allure--is manifest in these street style snaps, precisely articulated in the cream Anine Bing satin dinner jacket (note: worn during the day!), the perfectly-fitting Leset t-shirt and belted (so key!) light-wash AGOLDE jeans! Also, below in a Reformation dark denim shirt, faded vintage Levi's and Loewe Squeeze bag.

A belt looped through jeans that already fit perfectly is very much in style. Particularly trendy are the recognizable designer belts (Celine, The Row, Khaite), which, however, I've been reluctant to invest in, despite the fact that it's an outfit-polishing accessory I wear every single day. Instead, I'm bound to Nili Lotan's gold-buckle leather belt, above, which goes with literally all my jeans and trousers and cinches coats and jackets, too. It's a must!

What's hot in fashion right now is as clear as black and white. Literally. It's not just on the runways (The Row, Christian Dior, Khaite, etc), but also on the streets in New York, Paris, London and Milan, as these pics prove. While these basic colors are already well represented in my closet, I could use some updated silhouettes that will transcend more colorful seasons to come, with no shades of grey! Some stalwarts I have my eye on include this relaxed satin white blazer from Leset, everyday-perfect black dresses from Awake Mode (immediately below and 25% off!), Sabina Musayev, Nili Lotan and Hill House Home, this go-with everything black leather skirt and white skirt (on sale!) and this chicest of all black coat by The Row!

Name a better (fashion) feeling that slipping on a pair of jeans that feels like second skin and flatters your body. I'm waiting... Well, I recently found a pair by UK-based label ME +EM that checks both those boxes. Plus, the flare-leg silhouette is unlike any other I have in my denim arsenal, so they are everything but everyday predictable. I actually discovered some other fall gems by ME + EM that are poised to flatter and fit perfectly, including this brushed cashmere cardigan, this pleated dress, this lace layering top, and this leather jacket.
