spring forward
Monday, March 13
LA's cool and cloudy weather is not obscuring my warm-and-sunny wardrobe vision--and I can thank Shopbop's spring sale for that! Seriously, everything I need (fresh-cut jeans!) and them some (sexy swimsuits!) for next season is 20% off through March 15. Other desirables: these white Khaite jeans, this print Charina Sarte dress, this one-shouldered Ulla Johnson, this Staud bucket bag, this Sablyn cashmere sweater-meets-jacket, and this AGOLDE leather pants. Pounce on it all here!
french sights
Thursday, March 9
Never have I ever wanted to look more like a French girl, inspired by all the looks out and about in Paris this past week. The Nanushka black leather pants, above, with sheer tights and white pumps, above, the cinched-waist denim jackets (this and this), the pearls and pointy-toe kitten heels from Miu Miu (fifth pic down), the updated barn jackets... J'adore toute!

twin talk
Thursday, March 9
It's not atypical for my sister to call me first thing in the morning with a pressing fashion question. Today she rang me from New York, asking whether she should buy the Zara blazer, above. While she expressed her hesitation, I went online, found it and clicked Add to Cart! Then I clicked on the basket bag, below. Of course, I don't need another woven tote, but the chic orange nylon handle gives it a chic Hermes flair. It also comes with a shoulder strap I you can sling it over my shoulder, too! By the time we wrapped up our call, we both had identical items on their way to opposite coasts!
the grey hoodie
Wednesday, March 8
Acccording to Miuccia Prada, pants are not necessary next fall. However, what is non-negotiable is a grey zip-up hoodie. At the Miu Miu show, the humble wardrobe staple took center stage, layered over and under jackets. The relaxed silhouette--oversized and unzipped--is key! Since I can't not wear pants, I'll go for the hoodie look and get a head-start with these iterations from The Gap and Richer, Poorer.

mayle it in
Tuesday, March 7
Maison Mayle has long maintained a monopoly of my closet racks. And it's no wonder: the New York-based line is the essence of effortless chic, possessing longevity and versatility. So, of course, I took advantage of the (rare!) sale happening now through March 10, featuring so many of my wardrobe pretties and more at 30 to 70 percent off. I highly suggest you pounce!
for the save
Monday, March 6
It's not just another Monday, thanks to Net-A-Porter's unprecedented Spend to Save sale, which is intriguing me with wear-forever pieces at up to 25% off! Because there's a staggering amount of items on offer (182 pages, in fact!), I will share the highlights: AGOLDE's leather pants (regularly priced at $350), below, The Frankie Shop blazer, above, Perfect Moment denim down jacket, this Proenza Schouler statement dress, this Loulou Studio suede midi skirt, and these Manolo Blahnik mules.
the sequin skirt
Monday, March 6
The City of Light is twinkling with sequin skirts! Parisians are busting them out during the day, wearing them with more casual styles, such as oversized knit turtlenecks and leather jackets. The look is easy but glitzy and fabulously unexpected. I'd be ready to sparkle in any of these options by English Factory, Mango, Khaite, ALC, and Dries Van Noten (on sale!).
