is a solidly cool and refreshingly affordable English label that nails the London girl's boho louche-meets-polished aesthetic. Whenever I travel across the pond I make a point of dropping into the Knightsbridge boutique to stock up, as the label is hard to find in the States. In between visits, I regularly shop on its website--and get inspired by how the brand cleverly translates trends and assembles sophisticated, yet easy (to wear and emulate!) outfits. Check out the fall collection for a bevy of outfit ideas--and below, a few of my favorite (yes, I am still hung up on evening-worthy ).
Along with my fellow editors at , I am drawn to the new head-to-toe patterned outfits that popped up all over the resort runways. There's something very retro (dare I say Carol Brady) about this print-heavy look, but at the same time, it's fresh and different and adventurous. The floral set above is from spring collection. I kind of love it. It's such a statement. An all-out top-to-bottom commitment. But it's the type of trend that I will adapt to slowly. First, I will try a simple monochromatic outfit like the one below from , then move on to subtle head-to-toe patterns. By the time I am ready for the big leagues, the fetching Carol Brady ensembles will be in stores.

I was en route from London to Capri when I came across this picture of J. Crew President and Creative Director Jenna Lyons in British Vogue. Clearly, the girl oozes style, manifest here in her lemon yellow sofa, graphic Moroccan rug--and leopard print pants! As soon as I returned to New York, I emailed my personal shopper at in Santa Monica (his name is Chad and he is very helpful, FYI) and asked him to pre-order those pants for me. He did and told me they'd ship around mid-November. Turns out they hit today and sold out within hours. Guess I am not the only one obsessed. But at least I know I will get a pair! Pre-order yours today before they're all gone. Check them out in all their glory.
