burgandy is the new black
Tuesday, March 5
There's a new color in town, so big and bold it's squeezing out Hermes' signature orange (see above). Burgundy, blossoming both head to toe and in petite yet powerful punches, is popping up everywhere--in Milan, Gucci, and Bottega Veneta debuted shoes and bags in rich, muddy reds, while in Paris, Loewe and Hermes followed suit. Let's dive in with these on-trend pieces from Lou Lou Studio, Savette, Mango, Gucci, Christopher Esber, and Blaze Milano.

I honestly don't mind being that girl in H&M when everyone else in dripping in designer, and Alexa Chung, above, is right there with me. During Paris Fashion Week, she sported head-to-toe H&M, anchored in crisp, high-waisted jeans. The other denim looks that caught my eye, below, were elegantly teamed with Khaite snakeskin pumps (LOVE the ballerina flats coming out this spring!) and a tailored coat, plus a scarf-trimmed cape-like jacket by Bottega Veneta. I'm inspired to dress up an everyday pair with a Pixie Market leather t-shirt ($105!), below, and my new Toteme pointy-toe black flats, along with this, this and this.
on point

My new Toteme black flats, above right, made their on-point debut last night and were clearly in good company at my friend Candace Nelson's soiree, celebrating interior designer Sara Story and the start of Frieze Los Angeles. While I quizzed my art world-savant friends on what shows to see, they pressed me to share the Le Catches yet to be unveiled. Here's what I encouraged them to check out: the sold-out-multiple-times but just-restocked Sezane coat, below, as worn by Sienna Miller in Paris yesterday, Banana Republic's excellent iteration of the coveted Gucci Marina earrings, Adidas Sambas that are not black and white, and Anthropologie's under-$200 woven (Bottega Veneta-like) satchels.

Speaking of dupes, Mango just came out with its take on The Row's Idaho tote, above, also rendered in a woven-leather oxblood (read: Gucci) option, below. Meanwhile, Steve Madden made almost an exact replica of the buckled Ganni, along with a believable knock-off of the strappy Miu Miu, below, this Khaite-inspired slingback, Gucci-like kitten heel and Hermes-ish slide.

My current favorite fashionistas--Courtney Grow, Lilly Sisto and Olivia Wayman--have me convinced I need The Row's Idaho bag pronto. I like its eye-catching trapezoid shape, Except I can't decide between the twill (or the tan!) or the brown leather.

south of the border
Monday, February 26
Over the weekend, I went to Oaxaca, Mexico, for a photo shoot—2173 miles away to a world where, for me at least, the Milan Fashion shows were not simultaneously unfolding, the ref’s whistles of my son’s weekend volleyball games were blissfully silent, and all I had to worry about was what kind of taco I’d order next. Expect to read about all my discoveries in my next substack, but in the meantime, I will share that I loved wearing this new spring-fresh Anthropologie dress on my trip, that I came across these cool jelly sandals, delightfully similar to these by The Row, in between the best guacamole and shredded cabbage tostadas I’ve ever had and finishing Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow (finally!). Landing back in reality shortly.
