jean therapy
Thursday, February 15
Crazy how a good pair of jeans makes the world a better place! A new eminently-flattering pair by Alex Mill, above, not only helped me finesse Fashion Week, but makes me feel more confident! I've been wearing them non-stop with other new wardrobe additions from Ramy Brook, Zara, and Sandro. I also want the below H&M eyelet blouse and cute leopard Asos jacket (love the tie enclosures). More denim beauts: the flounced Khaite denim skirt and the pleated Aligne, both below.

No need for a scarf this winter, as right-now styling calls for a big, chunky sweater wrapped around neck and shoulders, over your jacket for extra-warmth! Vogue editors Madeline Fass, above, opts for a fair isle cashmere by Khaite, and Lisa Aiken, last pic, cozies up in goes-with-everything Wardrobe NYC. Also good: this whipstitched Rails (under-$300 Toteme dupe!) and this J.Crew.

This weekend went by faster than a New York minute. It kicked off at Raf's, the buzziest boîte in town, with must-have milk buns and ended with a Maison Mayle bang in my already-overpacked suitcase (top and skirt, below). In between there was an epic dinner with Shop My at Torrisi (the zeppole and prosciutto!), a moment with the Governor of New York at Prabal Gurung's show and the best buttery croissants at La Cabra (the long line is worth it). Full disclosure: I relied on a stalwart support team to see me through the non-stop action, including the button-down Zara, above, the Jenni Kayne jacket-meets-top, below, all manner of Dorsey sparklers (earrings, bracelet and necklaces), my Khaite denim, and Sarah Wragge's Restore and Alkalize Greens supplements. My only regret: I wish I had worked these fresh-looking pleated Lou Lou Studio jeans, these simple yet sleek Toteme flats (everyone is wearing), these Bottega Veneta earrings (no, not the pair everyone is wearing), and this Cult Gaia crochet top (underneath a blazer). I will share all details and snaps in my Substack later this week!

Happy New York Fashion Week(end)! Typing this from The Bowery Hotel, a swarm of paparazzi outside, waiting for the celebs in residence, ready to pound the pavement in pretty much head-to-toe newness: a Jenni Kayne blazer (that's crazy comfortable and chic currently 20% off!), Dorsey necklace, layered with an evergreen Jenny Bird choker, Alex Mill (soon to launch and truly amazing) jeans and a Khaite denim jacket. I'll be sharing all the deets next week!

Boat shoes are back, thanks to Miu Miu's Spring 2024 collection. Anchored in the preppy spirit of Sperry's iconic Topsider ($109), the so-called leather moccasins look lived-in and stylishly retro and are already landing in Paris's Metro (last pic) and on lower-cost shores (Free People, below). I'm totally on board with Sperry's OG! P.S. Bass' version ($145) is already all sold out! Time to get on board!

I was thisclose to buying the Alaia ballet flats, above, but then I came across the pair from Anthropologie, below, for $160 and was like, hang on a minute! It comes in all the Alaia-approved colors, too! If I saved myself all that money, then I could treat myself instead to the eyelet H&M pajamas, below, that I would definitely not keep confined to the bedroom, new denim shorts from Zara to wear this spring, and the statement-making leather Johanna Ortiz top. I'm sure that's not it...
