I see great things in store for this chic zebra bucket bag: days languishing at fashion shoots, date nights at delicious restaurants, shopping sprees in New York--and, of course, nobly grinding through the everyday routine, humbly holding my kids' Matchbox cars. Wear it with...
1. Kain silk tank top, 2. Topshop scallop trim jacket, 3. Zara zebra bag, 4. Sam Edelman wedges, 5. Goldsign jeans,
This is what I want to wear all summer long: a striped but sophisticated tank top that takes the guesswork out of looking chic and staying cool. Plus, how totally amazing is the rope detailing? What's more, it offers day to night possibilities. Wear it with...
On those crazy days when I have activities scheduled morning to night and there is no time to change in between, I will look to these shorts for a bit of help. That's because they can take me from camp drop-off to a photo shoot to drinks with co-workers. Here's how I'll wear them from day to night, this summer:
When I saw tummy bearing bralets coming down , I decided then and there they were not for me. Too skimpy. Too daring. Too young. There's no way I could pull one off, I thought. But then I went to a cocktail party last week in Hollywood and came across the chicest woman I've met in a while. She was wearing a bustier top and a high-waisted A-line skirt. Just a sliver of her abdomen--the right (i.e., flat) part, just below the ribcage--was exposed. The fullness of her skirt helped offset the showy top, and the whole effect was rather dramatic and gorgeous and still demure. Now I am tempted to try it myself (despite my husband's guffaws). I'd wear this one with...
I think the whole dressy shorts trend can be a bit treacherous. For example, you don't want shorts that are too short, especially if you're wearing them with heels. And if you are wearing them with heels, it's crucial that the shorts are polished-looking. These floral shorts allay any fears. They're flowy and mid-thigh length, almost skirt-like. And the floral print keep things sophisticated and feminine. Wear them all summer long with..
No need to wax on about the merits of this jacket, because the details--the peplum, the studs--speak (highly) for themselves. But I will say this: it's an all-purpose statement piece that can enhance any outfit. Plus, it's by London High Street designer Olivia Rubin, who is relatively unknown in the US, which lends it a sort of inscrutable, European air. Wear it with jeans, dressy black trousers, or try something a little East Village-unexpected and pair it with...
When I came across this studded denim blouse a few days ago, my quick buy-it-now instinct kicked in. And then when I saw my good (and always-chic) friend at lunch yesterday, wearing a studded Opening Ceremony denim dress, very similar in spirit, I knew my instinct was dead on. I'll be wearing this one with...
I own a pair of spike stud earrings in gold that I wear incessantly. My twin sister has the same pair and she wears them day in and day out (she even sleeps with them in!). I've bought these same earrings as gifts for friends, who too have found them nothing short of amazing. Their perfection lies in the fact that they simply go with everything. And so will a nice new pair in silver. Wear these guys with...
This Mediterranean-blue tassel-trimmed blouse is the embodiment of summer. I can just see myself wearing it on a scorching hot day, the billowy blouse sticking to my body (and ideally, my bathing suit), because of the humidity. And while it would go over swimmingly on an Italian Riveria vacation (with denim cut-offs), it would work overtime during my groundhog days at home in LA, running errands, working at a shoot, hanging out with the kiddos... you name it. I'd wear it on any old day with...
When you ride up in the elevator at the Conde Nast building in New York, it's always entertaining to look around and check out what everyone's wearing. (Invariably, I can guess who works where, based on the outfit.) The experience is almost like a lesson in shopping, providing insight into what I should be buying. During my last visit, I scoped out an impeccably dressed brunette, wearing a tuxedo vest much like this one, over a flowy abstract print cream colored silk dress. I've been searching high and low for a similar vest ever since, and I've now found it. Wear it with...
