LE CATCH

From the look of things, New York fashion show attendees are living large: big scarves, baggy pants, hefty turtlenecks, jumbo jackets, super-long coats, etc. Of course, in Manhattan, bigger has always been better, but what makes this particular massive-statement style doable is that nothing is too over the top. For starters, I'm totally lusting after Lisa Aiken's Goldsign leather pants (on sale here!), Toteme turtleneck and scarf, all pictured above! (I also love the plush Toteme shearling jacket, below.) Other ways to get on the big bandwagon: these Frankie Shop or Lou Lou Studio pleated trousers, this perfectly oversized Zara button-down shirt, this extra big hoodie (similar to below), and this roomy H&M cardigan and this outfit-making By Malene Birger trench coat.

New York Fashion Week officially kicks off today--and how I wish I was there to see not only what's in store for Fall 2022, but what industry insiders are wearing right now! This morning Moda Operandi founder Lauren Santo Domingo graciously provided a glimpse of what to expect on the streets via her Instagram feed: oversized Khaite turtlenecks, above, The Frankie Shop suits, below, quilted Toteme trench coats, last pic, Proenza Schouler loafers, boots from Aeyde and Bottega Veneta, and luxe baseball hats, like the one, below, by Acne Studios. Happy Friday, all!

It's been ages since I've been to London--but that hasn't stopped me from trawling one of my favorite High Street stores, Monsoon. While it's always been a solid boho-chic source for vivid block print dresses and quilted patchwork jackets, it delightfully surprises me from time to time with its more subdued knits, like the fringed cape, above, for $35 (!). Naturally, this cute cape discovery led to root out other viable options in the market (and how to wear them right this very minute) and I also found this Mango, below, and this, this, and this!

It's only been two weeks since The Row's Fall 2022 collection with its distinct white-turtleneck styling hit the runway and already this look turning up on the streets of Copenhagen. Fashionistas are employing this layering trick to winter-fy lightweight shirts and spring dresses, above and below, effecting an IYKYK-cool, ahead-of-the-curve vibe. Once LA's heatwave blows over, I want to give it a whirl in any of these fitted, not-too-bulky options from Vince, Ninety Percent, and Splendid. I'd wear it under this, this and this!

If you're like me and yearn for one of those much-coveted Toteme or Khaite oversized striped knits but are daunted by the price, I recommend stocking up on multiple stripes at Zara, which has almost too many to choose from. My favorites: the rollover turtleneck, above, the button-up knit, below, the crewneck and high-collar zip-neck (which I took to Sun Valley last week). I also love this solid navy side-zip, too!

One way Copenhagen's fashionistas are dealing with dead-of-winter dullness is with bright and sunny pops of color--A.K.A. soon-to-be-everywhere spring elements! I can already see some of these new bold hues--neon orange, electric yellow--on the virtual racks. I'm keen to perk up my current wintry look (and onward) with an outfit-punctuating bag like this emerald green Loewe, this pink vintage Hermes (similar to last pic), or this mini red Clare V. If not the bag, then, for sure, standout shoes, like these by Acne Studios (all the rage in Copenhagen!), JW Anderson, and Gianvito Rossi. Too much? What about just a hit of color with this?

It would have been ideal if I had found this North Face sherpa jacket before my trip to Sun Valley last week, but, no matter, because it looks and works equally well off the snowy slopes! P.S. This color block North Face jacket is also incredibly cool!

I've just returned from a few fun, snow-filled days in Sun Valley. The last time I skied was nearly two years ago (blame Covid), and while my S-turns were a bit of rusty out of the gate, after a few runs, they were back on track. As for my my slope style, I came in hot with the Fendi sweater, above, (found another one for $300, and this punchy-spirited Chinti and Parker is similar in spirit), and my trusty Black Crows pink pants (now on sale)! I also worked these super flattering boot-cut Erin Snow ski pants and cinched fleece jacket. While I played it safe on blue and green slopes, I spotted some fashionable skiers cranking up their color game, wearing printed pants by Perfect Moment, plush graphic jackets from Bogner, Coach, and The North Face, plus a plethora of chic vintage-looking sweaters that double-duty off the slopes like this, this, this and my friend Ali wore this J.Crew; along with one-and-done head-turning ski suits by Cordova, a super stylish all-the-rage ski line designed by a Sun Valley local. I'm eyeing this statement-making pullover and this zip-up sweater! To further polish my game, I want to snap up the detachable Cos hood, below, for a perfect pop on and off the mountain. I'm ready to run for the snowy hills again!
