LE CATCH

I'm totally crushing on this spring's crochet trend (see Stella McCartney, Altuzarra, Alexander McQueen (for reference)--and too impatient to wait till it warms up to wear it. Hence I'll be layering my crochet dresses for now with menswear-inspired blazers, like above. I scored a few inexpensive ones from Etsy in the vein of this and this, and also, snapped up this forever-chic Loewe on sale. I also love these now and later iterations from Altuzarra, Revolve, Philosophy di Lorenzo, and Victor Alfaro (vintage).

Get used to seeing these Bottega beauties, as they will be glued to my feet all spring/summer/LA winter long. If you like them, I highly recommend pre-ordering them now as they will for sure sell out. They're already hitting the European streets, see below.

In case you hadn't noticed on this millionth day of January, this winter's boots are anything but basic (read: they're not just black). Unlike the gloom and doom outside, they're refreshingly bright and playfully cool, striding into the saturated reaches of the rainbow. And from what I've seen in various Pre-Fall 2020 collections (for example, see Victoria Beckham in last pic), these bold boots will be stepping into the far future, advancing even the most simple outfits with them. Thankfully, plenty of options are now up for grabs (and some on sale). My faves include these by Aeyde, Sam Edelman, Isabel Marant, Schutz, Paige, Zara and Sam Edelman (similar to below).

Just in: more cold weather style inspo from Copenhagen! Specifically, statement sweaters and graphic print jackets that are one-and-done outfit making. Love that there are many similar options out there to warm us up, like this cute Coach turtleneck (pictured below), this Holzweiler plaid reversible parka (on sale), this embroidered Zara (just bought!), this stylish-anywhere striped Eleven Six (on sale), this punchy And Other Stories, and this checked Ganni (on sale). But, wait: can we talk about the open-toes? In almost Arctic-latitude?? Count me in! I'll do it--and basically anything--in these Jeffrey Campbell sandals (similar to last pic). And yes, in every color, too.

From the city to the country this tote seamlessly goes!

Someone's getting in the mood for romance...

Though it's the dead of winter in Copenhagen, you'd never know it with all the sunny colors its stylish citizens are sporting (evidence here). Contending with only 7 hours of daylight in January, it makes perfect sense that the city would brighten up with, say... sunrise-orange pants, above! (I found a super cute cotton pair from J.Crew, and the Chanel sweater can be snagged here.) Other vibrant, winter-worthy options include this lilac And Other Stories jacket, this rosy feather Loeffler Randall clutch, these ochre Victoria Beckham trousers, this peppy Rebecca Minkoff ribbed sweater, this lemon-yellow Reformation cashmere sweater and these perfectly-white Schutz booties.
