LE CATCH

Back in June, I wrote about Copenhagen-based Emili Sindlev's summer style, rooted in a tropical blend of far-flung prints and kaleidoscope colors. Now in cooler weather, her bright and sunny dressing philosophy remains intact--but she also adds plush texture (tweed, leather, woolens) and punchy accessories. Take the neon yellow outfit-punctuating Asics, for example, in the last pic, or the yellow ballet slippers she favors. I particularly love the zig zag print Loewe bag, below, and the top-handle vanilla/strawberry Volon, above. Speaking of pink, Emili does it in jackets and pants. Orange also plays a starring role, like the Birger Christensen turtleneck, below, as do polka dots, naturally, such as this Rixo and this Antik Batik. All in all, it's a bold and refreshing retort to wintry bleak and bland.

Thought I'd tee up some easy fall style inspo this Monday morning with an assist from Aimee Song, who perks up basics (jeans, and, okay, and some statement leather culottes!) with layered-just-so knits. She happens to be wearing pullovers from her Song of Style collection (which by the way also features the cutest leather trousers). With one sweater tied around her shoulders, slightly askew, she looks styled yet casual. A look worth emulating, I think. P.S. I recently snagged this layered-looking cable knit--it's a good one for $30! P.P.S: Aimee's bag game is also strong, with this Louis Vuitton multi-pochette, above, and Volon clutch, below.

This pic does not do this sweater justice, but trust me (and my sis), it's most excellent. So excellent that after Coco wore it to a photo shoot yesterday, every female on set bought one by the end of the day, including the inimitably stylish fashion consultant and designer Blair Eadie. The reason: glinty metallic thread and a thick woven knit give this Anthropologie sweater a Chanel-like vibe. Another tip: size down for a more elegant fit (I bought a size small).

My friend just assumed my new corduroy blazer was expensive. As she stroked its plush, ribbed sleeve, I broke the news to her: "It's H&M." She was both shocked and giddy--and immediately pulled out her phone to order one. This topper is now my current favorite style hack: I throw it on with jeans or over a dress and, blammo, instant polish. Its structure and heft yield a luxurious aura to any outfit, particularly these by Mango, And Other Stories, and Kate Spade.

When Celine sent its first denim-on-denim look down its Spring 2020 runway in Paris last week, I interpreted it as a vivid harbinger for stylish outfits to come. Well, it's already arrived! None to soon, head-to-toe indigo has hit the streets of Paris, as evidenced here. Take note: jeans feature a new shoe-grazing length and straight-leg silhouette, like these by Slvrlake (I also love this wash), Moussy, Re/Done (also in this shade), and Grlfrnd. For denim shirts, the key is not too stiff and more p0lished than rugged. I'd go for these no-fail staples by Current/Elliot, Madewell, and H&M.

Shopbop strikes again, this time offering up thousands of eye-catching winter clothing at 40% off or more, including the cute Chinti and Parker statement sweater, below, these right-now spot-on Re/Done cargo pants, this fun sequin Ksenia Schnaider skirt, these winter-white Rag & Bone jeans, this getaway-ready Paige maxi, this Brixton floral-print, outfit-making bucket hat, and this Cleobella crochet bag.
