I've been glued to the tube, watching the Olympics. But seeing the bikers barreling through London's cold downpours and the beach volleyball players all covered up has my mind on chilly weather. Hence my interest in this BB Dakota faux fur coat. I love the luxe-looking vest-like patchwork fur trim (a huge trend for fall). And I know it would keep one balmy when winter blows in. I'd wear it with...
My husband took the kids on a Dads-only surf trip this weekend with some friends, and so left to my own devices, I spent the day…….shopping in Beverly Hills. My excursion kicked off at Neiman Marcus, where I had lunch with my mom and some Chardonnay, on tap. Then I redeemed a gift card that had been burning a hole in my wallet for over a year. I also perused the pre-fall designer collections just hitting the floor, and the heavy concentration of statement sweaters got me thinking about my winter uniform. For certain, I know now it will include a -inspired sporty-chic knit like this one. I'd wear it with...
I injured my left knee a few weeks ago doing yoga(!), so I've been restricted to wearing flats ever since. (I attempted and winced through wearing stilettos once, only to suffer a serious setback!) I'm thinking these zebra print flats might ease the pain. The mesh fabric makes them airy, sexy, and summer-perfect, and the flashy animal print gives them edge. They're everyday, walking-around shoes that are anything but basic. Wear them with...
Another day, another striped shirt. I can't help it, but I instantly fell for this new one from J. Crew. (I bought a size up, for a more relaxed, old-school fit.) The orange sleeves give it a right-now color-block update. I'll be living in mine with...
This tiered tulle pencil skirt is ethereal, feminine, romantic, sophisticated, lush and frothy. (Click to see it on a model.) It has an elegant party vibe, and while I'd employ it on the swanky soiree circuit, I really like the idea of wearing it casually, unexpectedly, like this...
Years ago when I was living and working in New York as a magazine editor I attended a press luncheon and all the big-time editors at the time were there, dressed to the nines in their designer showstoppers, all brazenly trendy. There was, however, one woman, a beauty editor, who stood out, because she was not wearing anything high-voltage and recognizable. She had on a plush grey cashmere crewneck sweater and crisp white jeans, and to me, she looked the chicest of them all. Like she wasn't trying too hard. For some reason, this sweater reminds me of her--something she might wear to a press luncheon come this fall and stand out. Wear it with...
co-founder and fashion icon once said that her two favorite food groups are "sequins and feathers." I am inclined to agree, and since on I featured one of these foods, I figured I should balance the meal today. This festive LBD by Theory, majorly reduced from $455, is irresistibly tempting. Wear it with...
All-over sequins elevate this slim-fitting t-shirt, which might just be perfect for a Hamptons holiday--and beyond. I'd buy a size up for a looser, slouchier fit and wear it with...
It's the middle of summer and I am already contemplating my go-to fall boots. (I have started rounding up some of my favorites and will share them all in a post soon.) My criteria for the perfect pair goes something like this: I want my boots to be ankle height, go-with-everything neutral, walking-friendly, around-the-clock versatile, and, of course, seriously fetching. I think that these boots have all those attributes, and incredibly, they cost $115. Wear them with...
I didn't think I had the guts to pull off sequin-trimmed shorts like these--until I actually did, and I was even rewarded with multiple compliments. To avoid looking too, um, outré, I recommend wearing a blazer or a long sleeve button down on top (to compensate for the lack of coverage down below)--and going out somewhere really fun. Sparkle in an outfit like this...
