subscribe to my substack
Tuesday, October 24
Forgive me for being rude all these years and never, ever inviting you into my closet (above)! Well, that's about to change, because I'm launching a Substack later this week, offering to subscribers not only up-close-and-personal access to my ever-expanding wardrobe, but first dibs on Le Catch's "catches," so you can get them before they're gone. Please subscribe here--and make way for more must-have's, like the bound-to-sell-out beauts, below. I mean, how cool is that under $200 barn jacket (in cream and denim) and the traffic-stopping embellished sheer skirt?
heart to heart

My vintage Gucci bag is getting its second wind--along with tons of compliments--thanks to Clare V's heart strap. And it's about to get even more attention with the just-launched striped ribbon chain, below.

If you're on Tik Tok, then you'll know everyone is obsessed with Amazon's $69 take on Bottega Veneta's signature woven leather bags. (I think they're an exact dupe for this!) All you have to do is choose from one of 15 colors!
1. Gabriela Hearst wook dress, $3490, netaporter.com
2. Otiumberg earrings, $185, otiumberg.com
3. LMKIDS woven tote bag, $69, amazon.com
4. ATP Atelier loafers, $590, shopbop.com
lazy days
Thursday, October 19
Tom Ford once said, "Dressing well is a form of good manners." I concur--but would clarify there's no need to actually dress up. The "lazy girl" aesthetic that's currently all the rage--carpet-bombing Instagram, Zara, high-end designer runways (my current favorite is Valentino's Resort 2024 collection)--backs up my belief. That is we can look effortless while still very much look like we tried. It's low-maintenance yet highly stylish. Danish model and art director Clara Dyrhauge finesses laid-back chic like no other, relying on pared-down silhouettes, pictured below such as the perfectly-fitting Skall Studio white t-shirt and embroidered blouse, pointy-toe Aeyde slingbacks, ATP Atelier sandals (on sale!), cashmere La Ligne crew-necks, tailored trousers, plus a wear-with-everything trench coat and relaxed-cut jeans (here and here).
minute chic
Wednesday, October 18
While I do have the luxury of clothing options in my closet, the getting dressed part is frequently far from luxurious, as I typically leave myself mere minutes to get dressed! That's when my wardrobe heroes come in for the rescue, most recently the blouson-sleeved Ulla Johnson cardigan, above, that instantly upgrades a pair of jeans, and the sleek Blaze Milano blazer, below, that's now 20% off! Other quick winners on sale: the Ulla Johnson lace dress, last pic, these shearling (!) Birkenstock sandals, this Cefinn sequin skirt, these Le Monde Beryl mesh Mary Janes, and this rhinestone-studded Simone Rocha sweater. More 20%-off new season champions at Matches.

Crystal-studded chino may seem counter-intuitive but my closet would argue it's common sense.

chairish cherish

Although I don't identify as a jewelry junkie, I do love me some huge, honking look-at-me-baubles, and my go-to source for these statement pieces, both fine and fashion, is Chairish. Here are ten one-of-a-kind reasons why, along with a compelling curation here for additional context. I particularly love the vintage cocktail rings, pictured here, and the pile-it-on coiled brass and resin cuff ($295) that ups the arm candy ante. Each one is truly a piece of art. If only I could grow more body parts to brandish them all! See gobs more here!
