Wednesday, October 4
I'm not letting Chanel's Spring 2024 collection of "real clothes,"--striped polo sweaters, slouchy caftans, head-to-toe denim, and everyday-wearable flat shoes--fool me into believing I can afford all of them, but I am buying into the line-up's casually-chic style right now via some deep V-striped knits like this and this, loaded up with strands of pearls (or this and this!), patent leather flip flops, sequin ballerinas, creamy leather, and white Mary Janes. Also in the spirit: this striped sequin And Other Stories, this quilted leather Muuba jacket, these loose-fitting straight-leg Re/Done jeans (similar to below) and this very Coco-spirited sequin cardigan from Self-Portrait.
Other beautiful basics straight from the boulevards of Paris: the perfect white t-shirt and tank top, both below, to wear with everything from trousers to skirts to jeans.

As my twin sister is wont to do after weeks apart, she arrived at my house the other day with a bag of new clothes for me to try on, just so she could see what it actually looks like on her. Yes, it's a twin thing. Not only did she approve of the new pieces on me, all by Unsubscribed, but I did, too--and immediately procured some for myself, including the full-leg Unsubscribed leather pants, above, the hefty collared cashmere sweater, below, and the skirt set, which she was happy to model herself, last pic, with my knee-high boots. Check out more new Unsubscribed goodies here!
barn party
Tuesday, October 3
The oversized barn jackets that paraded down Prada's Spring 2024 runway has already harvested a plum iteration in my wardrobe via a vintage Carhartt I scored at the Santa Monica flea market this past weekend. I love the idea of juxtaposing it with more feminine, fanciful, and even sheer silhouettes. Join the barn party here. Other options from Uniqlo, J.Crew and Wyeth.

french mystery
Friday, September 29
The je ne sais quoi of French style--that undefinable allure--is manifest in these street style snaps, precisely articulated in the cream Anine Bing satin dinner jacket (note: worn during the day!), the perfectly-fitting Leset t-shirt and belted (so key!) light-wash AGOLDE jeans! Also, below in a Reformation dark denim shirt, faded vintage Levi's and Loewe Squeeze bag.
belt bound
Friday, September 29
A belt looped through jeans that already fit perfectly is very much in style. Particularly trendy are the recognizable designer belts (Celine, The Row, Khaite), which, however, I've been reluctant to invest in, despite the fact that it's an outfit-polishing accessory I wear every single day. Instead, I'm bound to Nili Lotan's gold-buckle leather belt, above, which goes with literally all my jeans and trousers and cinches coats and jackets, too. It's a must!
