There's and and then there's this fall-ready fringe.

Can we take a moment for 's “not-pajama” that basically stole the show in Milan yesterday? They’re crisp cotton, they’re chic, and they’re… $2,350. Yes, for a shirt that looks suspiciously like the one I wore to bed last night! I’ll be over here dusting off my pajama top and pretending it’s Prada. Spoiler: no one’s the wiser. Let's move on to Prada's drawstring leather bag (read: next big thing) that accessorized the shirts outside the show and on the Spring 2026 runway: they're rendered in myriad eye-popping shades from lavender to green to pink--and a variation can be had right now at an extremely wallet-friendly price from , and ($39!). Speaking of attention-grabbing accessories, I wore my new to my niece's wedding last weekend and was told at least 20 times how brilliantly sparkly and beautiful it was. (Apparently, moissanite, a lab-grown gemstone, is birefringent, meaning light can split into two beams as it passes through, dispersing more light than a diamond.) Let's just say it upstaged more than a few sequins on the dance floor--and, okay, outshined their hardware, too! P.S. Even the are super radiant--such a good (self) gift! P.P.S. I've been wearing both these bright and shiny pieces everyday--not just to dress up! That's all I have this week! Much, much more on Monday! Until then, I'll be wearing my jammies!

These cool leather kicks come with (-like) beaded leather laces and a plain pair, too.

Walking down the street earlier this week, I was deep in thought about replacing my years-old bag by —a faithful companion that’s carried me through seasons of outfits and moods. Just as I was weighing whether I really needed a new fall bag, the universe answered in the most dramatic fashion: one of the handles snapped, sending my entire life tumbling across the pavement. Lip balm rolling one way, sunglasses another. I took it as a divine green light. Without hesitation, I bee-lined to , where my innocent plan for one replacement quickly spiraled into a bag-buying binge. First I snapped up the petite , above, and then, like a fiend, I went to , and bought a practical but extra stylish . Because when the universe speaks, I listen—and preferably in Nappa leather! And, okay, maybe in and broken-in (Prada-inspired) , too!

Go green this fall or go home.

Wrapped, beaded, and ready to stand out in this .

Someone recently asked me which bag I’m taking on vacation this summer. The real question is: which bags? Inspired by ’ recent Lake Como getaway—a true masterclass in bag rotation (with , and )—I’m packing a mini bag wardrobe. Think statement-makers that are also suitcase-friendly: soft, slouchy, malleable styles that slip into one another like Russian dolls. Beach tote holds the carryall, which hides the clutch, which tucks away the tiny top-handle. Get it? Here's what I am thinking for my line-up so far: this , , ,  (for beach days), (lives inside in all bags), , and .

Summer's boldest statement yet.

A high-impact mix of lace, ruffles and leather for one hundred bucks.
