LE CATCH

I must confess: I am not yet ready for turkey, tinsel and trimmings, but Black Friday? Bring it on! 24S is kicking off its Black Friday sale TODAY--eight days early--offering 25% off full priced styles (use the code BLACKFRIDAY25) and 20% off on-sale pieces (BLACKFRIDAY20)! And the pickings are aplenty, starting with the cult Khaite cardigan, above, these cute Chloe boots, these everyday-perfect Closed jeans, and this Isabel Marant Etoile jacket. Get first dibs here!

One of my most trusty Zara shopping hacks is to keep an eye out (and pounce immediately!) on its limited edition pieces, which are typically wardrobe game-changers. Read: more design-forward, runway-inspired styles! I just scored a few that I think might intrigue you, too: the sequin skirt, above, the beaded (Marni-esque) sweater, below, and the elegant, vintage-spirited cape, last pic. Check out the secret stash of limited edition options here.

$347, my theresa

Of course, not all holiday parties are created equal. Some will demand decadent sequins, while others perhaps just a trophy top with jeans. Either way I will be covered, thanks to Net-A-Porter's all-encompassing party edit, which offers up everything from feathers to leggings and everything festive in between. No matter what I wear, however, I just want to be comfortable above all else. Jeans and a Toteme statement top (above) fit the bill. So doe the Commission sequin and tulle pencil skirt, below, and the one-and-done feather trimmed Taller Marmo, last pic. I'd also love to whirl around the party circuit in these pieces by Isabel Marant, Rebecca Vallance, Dodo Bar Or, and Herve Leger (not what you'd expect!). Peruse the edit here!

Friends and family flew in from all over this week, and it's been non-stop cruise-directing for me: dinner partying, brunching at San Vicente Bungalows, shopping in Beverly Hills, late-afternoon lunching in Malibu! Of course, I've been dressing up for all of it, starting with the party-perfect diaphanous organza Doen, above, and this seductive lace L'Agence (I love a huge turtleneck over it and high-knee boots!) The party continues this weekend, and I'll have the opportunity to bust out these cuties from Beaufille, Goop, and Rotate Birger Christensen. Happy Friday!

A friend bound for Paris texted me the other day asking for restaurant recommendations. Quickly, I rattled off a few of my favorites--Sauvage, Chez Omar, Chez Georges (pictured)--but felt like I was forgetting some more obvious options. So, I ended up doing a deep dive online and, FYI, came across a compelling round-up of stylish tastemakers' favorite restaurants in Paris on Porter. The insider-y feature not only served up new hot boites I am now eager to sample, but also, ever so helpfully, suggested what to wear while dining at each spot. Genius! Now I know that I can wear these jeans to Le Voltaire and this Toteme jacket to Le Stresa. Porter also has insider guides to London (I'll take an order of this) and New York (and these)!

This cool faux leather Topshop coat reminds me why I was once a hard core Topshop devotee, inspired to fly from LA to London to make what felt like bank robbery raids on its Oxford Circus flagship. Upon returning home with my loot, everyone would obsess over the amazing pieces, which were otherwise rarely, if ever, spotted in NY, let alone LA. Of course, those days are now long over, and Oxford's Topshop is now home to IKEA, but at least I can still get my Topshop fix via Nordstrom. And score other gems such as this, this and this.

P.S. Another High Street favorite in London, River Island is staying on top of things with its seriously good $140 sherpa coat, below! LOVE!

This vegan(!) leather Rebecca Taylor outfit stopped my in my world-wide-webbing tracks this morning, capturing my attention with its buttery softness, wine-colored richness, can-be-worn-separately versatility, and, last but not least, its amazingly discounted price! And then there was even more: the Paco Rabanne-like medallion bag by Staud, below, for $148, that will soon accompany me to the Tropics, these perfectly-cut, light-wash Frame jeans, this endlessly wearable Ulla Johnson dress, this cozy patchwork Sea sweatshirt, and these spot on oval Le Specs sunnies.
