LE CATCH

After almost a week of warm (and woefully rare!) LA sunshine, the fog has rolled in this Friday, but still, I'm springing ahead in my shopping, with hot options aplenty: the $69 charm-laden Zara basket bag, above, the striped one-shoulder River Island, ruffle top, and draped blouse, the Reformation button-down and skirt set, the strapless H&M, the Amanu leather gold bauble sandal, the Petal & Pup short set ($79), the Reformation white sandals and the And Other Stories lilac lovely. Happy Weekend!

While I've tried to navigate the tangled identity of being an identical twin with help from psychology books, I still struggle with what researchers call "dangerous intimacy," or the inability to separate my self from her. I am, for better or worse, always going to be we. This may explain/justify why a few months ago I kept helping myself to her (our?) growing stash of Haven Well Within's signature super-soft pajamas and off-duty clothing. Ever since she started shooting the brand's campaigns a few years ago (including the most recent one, above), she's become hooked on its effortlessly-chic, kick-back-and-get-comfy staples. And, naturally, so have I. While I hope Haven Well Within keeps hiring her--and gifting her product!--I now need to buy my own pieces/nurture my independence as the recently-launched line of intimates crosses the sharing boundary lines! All mine: this, this, this, and this. Perhaps these are the only things we can't share--or maybe now, for my sake, I just won't!

Given that I wear my hair up and back pretty much 24/7, I'm all for investing in accessories that change up my look day to day. Enter a new trick up my sleeve --and in my ponytail: this Lelet hair tie (below), now on sale, plus more options here and here.

Like the rest of us, LA-based celebrity stylist-turned-creative director Angela Fink is a blue--and black and white and pleated and loose-fitting--jean lady, possessing all kinds for every occasion , whether its a West Hollywood waltz or a Paris fashion show (second to last pic). However, there is one constant in her denim routine: an elegant trouser-like fit, which wields everywhere-chic that not even a subtle knee rip (above) could undermine. She also favors straight-leg silhouettes, specifically these by Mango, above, pleated AMO jeans (immediately below), AGOLDE (in black, pictured below, and indigo, last pic), Closed Official (for longer, lankier legs!), and Re/Done (which are a perfect stand in for The Row's just about sold-out pair, also here.) I could see this cool drawstring pair by Citizens of Humanity in her repertoire too!

Dinner with my sister and her impeccably-dressed best friend, New York-based stylist Sarah Clary, always serves up a side of shopping, and last night's meal was no different. Before I tell you what we salivated over in between bites, I first must tell you what Sarah was wearing: this white midi skirt, an oversized grey blazer, a blue crew-neck sweater, and burgundy loafers. Picture this Prada vibe, and she wore this outfit on a shoot all day long. The shopping kicked off with the most excellently-cut Banana Republic cargo pants, above, that we all agreed we'd wear year around, along with the sharp boatneck top. I prompted them to want this Eddy Monetti print shirt that I bought in Milan last week (I showed them here). We moved on to Dries Van Noten as the designer just announced his retirement, and now debating this or this. The need for new lace came up, too: Sarah snapped up this H&M skirt, while I snagged the top. Coco is eyeing the Mango (styled over a blouse!), below. Naturally, we moved on to everything Khaite, and we all pounced on Source Unknown's dupe dress, below, for $125, and Pixie Market's $95 strapless, last pic!
