on dutti
Thursday, February 17
Reportedly, Kate Middleton has been "re-wearing" a camel Massimo Dutti coat all winter long. This may surprise (or shock!) some, but I totally get it. Zara's lesser-known sister brand is looking extra chic this season--and, for me, it's making getting dressed royally easy. Check out the chain-trimmed (Celine-inspired) jeans, above, for example, and the boxy blazer, below, along with the oversized striped blouse, below, the tie-back sweater, and the print skirt, last pic.
anorak attack
Wednesday, February 16
I never knew I needed an anorak in my wardrobe until Monday when J.Crew enticed me with its just-out color-block topper. I envisioned wearing it over a turtleneck in Aspen next month and underneath a long coat or puffer jacket when I go back to New York. But then I saw this fun and colorful one from Boden and couldn't decide which one I liked better. Today, I came across the spotted iteration from Tory Burch, above, worn this past week by a Vogue editor, who styled it over a sweatshirt go to a fashion show. Now I'm completely stumped.
woo me
Wednesday, February 16
Like mother, like son. Gift-buying at the last minute. He texted me yesterday in a shopping panic, but at least I could help him out with a GENIUS idea! The House of Woo's Design in Box renders recycled and surplus fabrics into the custom-made design of your dreams. You design it, Woo makes it. How cool is that? Since my kids like to wear sweatpants pretty much 24/7, I thought it would be fun to let them make their very own standout sweats, above. But you can also custom-design t-shirts, hats, bag, whatever you fancy. Love!
cocoa pop
Wednesday, February 16
I just read in Vogue that brown is this year's hue du jour. This warm, neutral color is not only illuminating the streets of New York right now (pictured below), but taking over interiors, too, explaining that its calming, earthy vibe is grounding. It also reflects the rise of warm minimalism: clean yet comforting. I'm jumping in with The Outnet's $300 knee-high boots, last pic, and eyeing these pieces from Cult Gaia, Minkpink, Michael Kors, and Mara Hoffman!
LA wonder
Tuesday, February 15
LA-based, Paris-bred creative director Jen Azoulay describes her style as neither Californian or French. Instead, she likes to mix simple with extravagant things, such as a Sea crochet knit sweater, above (also here), with a tweed Chanel. Or a lived-in Frankie Shop sweatshirt, below, with an elegant Gucci Horsebit bag. (I also adore the Chanel pearls with the $150 grey knit turtleneck, below!) Her other high/low mainstays: the Mango cut-out bodysuit, below, the Camilla and Marc white trench coat (second pic down), Re/Done faded black jeans, Mango quilted sweatshirt (last pic) and Frankie Shop wide-leg trousers.

beachy keen
Tuesday, February 15
I'm always ready to hit the beach, but now even more so, because I've scooped some things that will make an extra splash, namely the cute striped Jen's Pirate Booty mini dress, above, the backless Abysse surf-worthy suit, below, plus these spring break-ready looks from
waiting line

You know when you're debating whether to buy something but then see it on someone else--and all of a sudden you HAVE to have it? That's exactly what happened with this Sandro blouse (on sale). Now it's mine too!

maxed out
Monday, February 14
Of all the Fall 2022 collections that have been unveiled in New York over the last few days, my hands-down favorite is by Brandon Maxwell. (Altuzarra, with its chic pea coats and stand-up shearling collars, comes in at a close second!) The reason is simple: Maxwell combines glamour with comfort. In the most uncontrived, easy-to-pull-off way. I want to wear my everyday jeans but dress them up with a knockout blazer, like above. Or whirl around in an evening-out dress--but still feel at-home cozy in a fisherman's sweater. Speaking of which I need to buy one (this, this or this) to start wearing immediately. Check out the current collection here, specifically this!
