striped staple
Monday, August 23
In case you didn't know, this is the striped sweater everyone wants for fall--and I am one of them! It's from And Other Stories and it's so good.

Our European counterparts are maxing out the last days of summer with bright print tops that go from beach to street--and I'm totally inspired to follow suit! I'd like to make a bold statement in these iterations from La Double J, Zara, Mara Hoffman, Vestir (second to last pic) and Matteau (last image).

I miss meandering through the Marais and stumbling into Sandro and scoring! Well, at least, I can do it virtually now--and do it right! I just scooped up the tweed jacket, above, on sale, and also ogled the cropped tweed and denim cardigan, below, (I'd size up), the print silk dress, immediately below, and the embroidered mini, last pic. See the goods for yourself here!

Swedish model Amalie Moosgarrd Nielsen has a way of styling (more like elevating) cut-off denim shorts like no other. Her secret weapons: Polished elegant blouses (like the black one, above, and this gingham shirt); classic footwear (Havianas sandals, Sam Edelman ballet slippers) and a basket tote (this and this). Voila!

top it off
Tuesday, August 17
Before it's too late, I thought I should mention that a sexy top is mandatory this summer. This essential will instantly elevate an everyday pair of pants or shorts and render any outfit super hot! Keep in mind, these are tops that can also be worn straight into fall, underneath a blazer or an oversized cardigan. I love Elliette's coy open-back blouse, below, this Alix asymmetrical tank, this one-shoulder The Line by K bodysuit, this cut-out Reformation, this halterneck Bottega Veneta, and this Nicholas vintage-looking rib-knit bodysuit. P.S. A one-piece swimsuit like this, this or this could also do the trick!

Summer's not over yet in Stockholm, but photographer Caroline Blomst is already earning her fall-dressing stripes. She's staving off the 60-degree chill with fresh, oversized silhouettes, including the And Other Stories sweater, above (this La Ligne and Toteme are similar). Also on tap: straight-leg jeans by And Other Stories, above, a M Missoni reversible trench coat (last pic), a Longchamp net bag, Arket knits, Monki oval sunglasses, Havianas sandals (with everything), And Other Stories leather thong flats, and the most flattering leggings from MWL.
