LE CATCH

$74, h&m

Love this H&M poncho! P.S. I'd shorten the hem.

In case you missed it, Target recently launched some cool collabs with designers La Ligne and Kika Vargas--and there is so much cuteness (for less!) to be had. I love this wrap top, trench coat and striped knit. Check it all out here!

I don't mind that my friends constantly raid my closet, but lately they're all trying to borrow one item I don't want to even temporarily part with: my Dorsey Rivière necklace ! And for obvious reasons: it's radiantly sparkly and adds the chicest flash to any outfit. Its lab-grown gemstones and 18k gold-coated brass and sterling silver make it look like a real-deal diamond necklace--but I love its deal-like price! I tell them to get their own, but they haven't been able to, because it constantly sells out. (Explains why they keep trying to steal mine!) But today I'm writing to tell them and all of you that Dorsey not only just restocked tons of sold-out pieces, but launched a new collection, featuring longer necklaces, earrings (that I have not taken out of my ears since I put them in several weeks ago) and a bracelet. I recommend you hurry, otherwise you might have to wait months for one of your own.

Yes, Ray-Bans have long been my signature sunnies, but lately, I've been changing/stepping things up with the sleek D-frame glasses, above, by Jenny Bird. I wore them in Paris (in black) and received a jillion compliments!

While other people might be taking advantage of Amazon Prime Day's sale--in full swing today through October 13--to buy big-ticket items, like a discounted Peloton, a fancy cold-press juicer, or a De'Longhi espresso maker, I'm loading up on Levi's 501's, above, that are 40% off ($47!!!), this Sea New York embellished fleece jacket, below, this Line Fair Isle sweater and these Loeffler Randall boots. Get on it here!

It didn't feel like fall in Paris last week, but it sure looked that way with all the boots on the ground. Knee-high and higher styles marched skirts, mini skirts and shorts into next-season perfection. I prefer ones with low or block heels, so that they're more wearable , but still make a big statement like these from Chloe (immediately below), Loeffler Randall, Schutz and Zara. P.S. How crazy cool is Caroline Issa's faux shearling Sacai jacket, above? LOVE!

As Audrey Hepburn famously said, "Paris is always a good idea." Even for a 96-hour trip! During my whirlwind visit there this past week, I packed in at least 12,000 steps a day, meandering around the Marais, St. Germain des Pres, Ile St. Louis, the Right Bank (and running in Parc Monceau!); popping into art exhibits, fashion presentations, several parties and, of course, shopping! Want to know what I bought? Pretty much what the chic Parisiens are wearing: these Prada kitten heels, the embellished Sandro jacket, below, that I belted with this, as well as this denim coatigan, and this Isabel Marant boucle jacket. (Thanks to the strongest dollar in two decades!) All of these new gems complemented what I had packed in my Rimowa carry-on: the Maison Mayle black corduroy suit, below, the Mayle top and skirt, above, the bronze corduroy Blaze Milano blazer, the black square-neck G.Label Goop dress (which garnered major praise from all the French fashionistas), these Sam Edelman velvet Mary Janes, this Dorsey lab-grown Riviere necklace, and Doen's ruffle-trimmed maxi, and these Chloe knee-high brown boots, all pictured below. You can check out all the highlights (and my outfits) in my Instagram Paris Highlights.

If you're heading to Paris anytime soon, make sure you pack a jacket or five! Honestly, it's all one needs to blend in, look chic, throw over anything, and stave off the fall chill. Since I've been here, I've purchased three: this embellished Sandro, this Mango and this Isabel Marant!
