Since I wear my hair up 24/7/365, I'm obsessively on the hunt for a new accessory that will shake things up a bit. It can be as simple a re-purposed ribbon (above), an everyday-worthy leather cuff (also in this color), a tortoise shell ponytail holder or a metal-trimmed elastic. But then again it's fun to go all out with something statement-y, like this elegant pearl-studded pin, this vibrant hair band, this party-ready crystal comb and this quartz hair slide.

If Ganni isn't already on your radar, it should be. The Danish clothing line has a huge cult following in Europe, thanks to its spot on silhouettes at reasonable prices. Until recently it has been hard to find in the US--much to my dismay!--but now we all can scoop up Ganni's statement-making summer dresses, like the chiffon maxi, above, along with these weekend-ready track pants, this vibrant mohair sweater, this sophisticated polo top, this cropped statement jacket, this swingy lace blouse and this ruffled jumpsuit.

St. Patrick's Day is bringing me a little luck of the Irish as I nabbed a pair of pants I had been missing all my life! Introduced to me by a friend, these pants are most excellent: high-waisted, super flattering, sharply-tailored, wide-legged, and cropped. But what makes them holy-grail perfect is that they hit exactly--and this is key!--at the ankle bone. (If any shorter, the pants look like high-waters, I think.) Isabel Marant makes the pants, and my friend loves them so much she bought them in three colors--white, black and army green. The only hitch: they're from last summer! I've spent the last week looking high and low for them and finally today I was delighted to discover my four-leaf clover: the pants have just been re-issued this season in black. Hooray! I also found these less expensive stand-in's from J.Crew, T by Alexander Wang, A.L.C. and Vince.
