The intricate bead work around the neckline and the cobalt blue hue add up to major sweater greatness.

This cropped bow-tie tank is cuter than cute. And don't let its high-summer looks fool you...

Fur will be flying (again) everywhere next season, and I am thinking about joining the fray with this supremely cozy faux fur-trimmed parka.

I'm thinking these subtle leopard print pants could sub in for my garden variety go-to black pants, don't you?

I recently wrote a story for about my ongoing obsession with printed pants (the ones I'm wearing above are by ). And while I may look relaxed in the story's accompanying photo, above, I am secretly squirming inside with embarrassment. Which may explain why you don't see too many photos of me on this blog! And why I've considered commissioning my four-year-old son to illustrate some portraits of me instead. The one below is his most recent take. He drew it at beach camp earlier this week. I asked about the circles on my boxy torso. He answered matter of factly that they were "your boobs." He then realized that he forgot to draw my arms and laughed! While I do have arms, I really don't have much in the boob department, but he is a "guy," which I presume explains his focus!

I am a big believer in the simple white blouse and its forever fresh look. This one is boxy and loose-fitting, with a Chloe-esque vibe--qualities that make it suitable for just about everything on my summer agenda.

This simple utilitarian swing-cut sweater is poised to become integral to my everyday running-around-doing-a-million-things wardrobe. It's sooo good, and it comes in too!

A quick whirl around Topshop yesterday turned up these African print pants, which I liked so much I wore them out of the dressing room and straight through to dinner out with friends.

Playful zingy hues update these leopard print pants in a very Stella McCartney-meets-Mulberry way, and I love that they are wearable both day (with a simple white tee and a pair of ) and night, like so. . .

This is the (unusually striking) stuff that fashion editors are made of, and like a fashion editor you can get it at 70 percent off due to the amazing going on now! I love it with...
