LE CATCH

$370, reiss

This white jumpsuit masters head-to-toe sleek--and rush-hour dressing. And it's in step with the styles (Band of Outsiders, Yigal Azrouel) that paraded down the Fall 2013 runways in New York. With extras like these, you're done.

1. Reiss jumpsuit, $370, reiss.com
2. Rose Pierre drop earrings, $65, shopbop.com
3. Kelly Wearstler clutch, $795, kellywearstler.com
4. Charlotte Olympia sandals, $875, netaporter.com

Thanks to Pierre Hardy's vividly graphic clutches, anyone can now look a little more head-turning-street-style-star-chic. All you have to is pick a color.

$100, topshop

Earlier this week I took a very successful spin around Topshop's just-opened and highly anticipated two-floor LA store. It certainly met my expectations, replete with exclusive pieces on the racks and a plethora of sizes. Among my where-did-you-get-that finds? This studded sweater that had my friend (a former Women's Wear Daily editor) and I swearing it sparkled like a Miu Miu. I also snapped up this tiered chiffon Chanel-channeling dress that can go anywhere from a Katy Perry, Alicia Keys, J. Lo-studded party (which it did on Wednesday night!) to a casual backyard barbecue (where it will go this weekend). Today I'm debuting this sweater, along with these right-on extras...

Captured flitting between shows during New York Fashion Week, this model provides a glimpse into the eye-popping lipstick shades on the horizon. But why wait to do a bright lip? I consulted my friend, makeup artist and The Beauty Department co-founder Amy Nadine (who happens to be responsible for Rachel Bilson's pretty pout, among other famous starlets) about this exact hue and she pointed me to Nars Schiap. I am all over it.

$105, miss selfridge

The unexpected combination of bohemian paisley and a flash of neon shifts this statement jacket into a whole new sphere of cool. I'd sport it on a crisp spring day like this...

2. Miss Selfridge paisley jacket, $105, missselfridge.com
3. 3.1 Phillip Lim clutch, $295, shopbop.com

5. Goldsign x J.Crew jeans, $214, jcrew.com

During my time in NYC last week, in addition to previewing trends coming our way, I picked up various other tidbits of fashiony knowledge ranging from random to useful. A few worth sharing: (a) Phillip Lim's re-invention of a souvenir t-shirt is now a cultish style statement, thanks to high-profile show-goers, such as Maria Duenas Jacobs, above, and Candace Lake, below.

I love it, too (it's the native New Yorker in me, I guess!), especially paired with a sharp pencil skirt, or a great pair of tailored pants. The white version is already long gone, but black is just as cute (and besides, black is the new black next fall!). Get 'em here. (b) The hot boite du jour is Acme. I had the pleasure of dining there with various fashionista types last Thursday night and particularly enjoyed the whole grains with foraged mushrooms and the salt-baked carrots. The drinks were pretty delicious, too. (c) The Nomad Hotel has a fabulously serene library room, which is a perfect place to meet for a drink and have a good in-depth conversation. And finally, (d) even when your twin sister tells you to wear snow boots to fashion week shows during a blizzard because that's what the locals do and anyone who doesn't will look out of place, don't follow her directions, because she's wrong, and you will be the only one wearing snow boots.

I saw a number of great shows last week, but the one show I missed turned out to be the newest designer to watch. Delpozo, a Madrid-based label, staged its first show during New York Fashion Week, and I heard from insiders like Lauren Santo Domingo that it was indeed a show-stealer. The line's creative director Josep Font, who drew inspiration from architecture and the Victorian era, featured pretty, elegant dresses (such as the one above), sculptural, voluminous skirts, jackets with sculpted shoulders and tops with exaggerated sleeves. There were also eye-popping color combinations of fuchsia, emerald green, burgundy and cinnamon, along with floral appliques, beading and embroidery. You can view and shop(!) the entire Fall 2013 collection at Moda Operandi. (The trunk show runs through February 19.) Below are more highlights from the show.

Globe-trotting street style photographer extraordinaire Tommy Ton has definitely seen a lot of fancy footwear during his career. So, it's not surprising that Saks Fifth Avenue tapped him (and his keen eye) to shoot Spring 2013's best shoes. Among my favorites are the Salvatore Ferragamo lace-ups and the Derek Lam sandals, shown above and below, respectively. Check out more of his pics and his highly discerning edit of Spring 2013's most drool-worthy shoes that even Imelda herself would find impressive.
