new blues
Monday, September 29
The Monday blues are decidedly the good kind this week, because all the jeans I love and live in (let’s just say it’s edging toward a dozen—don’t judge!) are now on sale, thanks to Shopbop’s Style Event (15% off $200+; 20% off $500+; 25% off $800+ with the code STYLE). Among them: these super flattering AGOLDE (also in this wash), these classic Levi's, these high-waisted, leg-lengthening Pistola, and these most-comfortable, forever-cool Mother jeans. Of course, the discount extends beyond denim to other autumn essentials, namely my other go-to's like my Le Bop jacket, below, this BlankNYC moto jacket, this striped polo, and these Staud suede boots. Shop it all here.
nada prada
Friday, September 26
Can we take a moment for Prada's “not-pajama” pajama tops 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 J.Crew 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 Cos, Parker Thatch and Calvin Klein ($39!). Speaking of attention-grabbing accessories, I wore my new Dorsey moissanite Theodora necklace 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 small drop earrings 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!

colorful covers
Thursday, September 25
On a glossy burnt-orange runway in Milan yesterday, Prada unveiled what’s next in our colorful fashion future: bold shades of green, purple, turquoise, pink, baby blue, red, yellow, lavender, and, yes, black, too. The color story is a continuation of this season’s pastels-meet-winter-greys, but sharper, splashier, more decisive. The must-haves? A blouson jacket in powder blue, car coats in alabaster pink, oversized shackets in shamrock green and a nylon jacket that lemon yellow we saw in New York— all classic cuts made modern with color. Of course, I went straight to Etsy to source some vintage (instant gratification) options (scored this, pondering this), but also found the $109 Lioness (last pic), this yellow Banana Republic barn coat, and this pink/mauve Le Bop.

pink li
Wednesday, September 24
Turns out the real star of NYFW wasn’t on the runway, it was in the front row. Le Catch’s top-earning link of the week? A pair of pink corduroy pants from J.Crew. I spotted them on a fellow attendee at Kallmeyer, above, and was too intimidated to ask where she got them. But ever the intrepid shopper, I sleuthed them down for you—and several dozen pairs later (including one in my own closet), they emerged as the week’s highest-converting item. They also happen to be on sale right now. In any case, pink is back, baby, and so I am digging with the striped knit, below, this Le Bop jacket (I wore the tan/blue version earlier this week), and this Hill House Home cardigan.

big bold beautiful jewelry
Tuesday, September 23
Net-a-Porter’s buying manager Lydia Zacharis is one of fashion’s most finely-tuned bellwethers, adept at going long on what will become essential. Lately, her personal jewelry, pictured above, is speaking volumes: bold, sculptural and statement-making. (Her silver bracelet by Charlotte Chesnais is stunning! I like this low-key derivative, too.) And the runways are re-inforcing her preferences. From New York to London, designers from Michael Kors to Nanushka (both pictured below) are draping models in long chains tipped with pendants the size of clenched fists—silver and leather talismans swinging with unapologetic weight. Hefty wraparound bracelets and rings are following suit. The message is clear: go big or go home with H&M's ring set, Jenny Bird's lariat, these Ann Taylor drop earrings, and Kate Young x Monica Vinader's spot-on collab (last pic).

san fran season
Monday, September 22
Back from a quick trip to San Francisco, where Twain's line about the “coldest winter…” proved true—fog rolling in like a gray cashmere throw, the damp wind blowing enough to make me forget it’s technically still summer in LA. It was the perfect excuse to pile on nearly every new knit I stuffed into my suitcase: a ribbed zip-up turtleneck over a striped crewneck, all under an oversized cardigan. Add a high-collared fleece-like knit, and suddenly I remembered how well it works to layer and layer again. Moral of the story: when the Bay tells you to bring a sweater, bring five, plus a toasty suede jacket and a statement-making scarf-trimmed knit for kicks—and wear them all at once!

My sister often vets my shopping tabs--but she's not here so you're on my buy or bye taste-duty today. Here's what I got: the H&M leather pouch ($29), above, the mock-neck (cool girl) Nation t-shirt, below, this Khaite-like macrame tote bag, this Rails rain coat in the chicest color, this ($75) Prada-inspired striped t-shirt from Banana Republic, this Lele Sadoughi tassel necklace, and this Asos tie-front cropped trench (last image). Happy Weekend!
