LE CATCH

For New York fashion show attendees, a good pair of jeans isn't enough. As shown here, they're doubling down on denim, sporting it head to toe. Earlier this week, I highlighted the latest must-have jeans here, but as to what to wear on top, try this Rebecca Taylor blouse, this J.Crew shirt (or this one), this Rachel Comey top, this Isabel Marant belted jacket, this Madewell wrap blouse and this faux fur trimmed Mango.

I'm fired up to throw on this dress--and make a beautifully bold statement.

My birthday is a month away, but I'm seriously considering splurging on myself right now with these (outfit-making) Gucci slippers. I know that they will age exceptionally well!

Frayed edges give this cotton cardigan a chic Chanel-like vibe.

I ran around New York City last week toting a smaller than usual bag, the Freya, above, and the lighter load was not only refreshing but, as it turned out, in sync with other fashion show goers. See snaps, below. Now that I am back in LA, I wouldn't mind carrying around my edited essentials in any of these itty bitty bags by Gaia, Clare V., Mansur Gavriel (below right), Staud (below left) Simon Miller (last pic), Tambonita, and OAD. (P.S. My dress is from Tibi's Resort 2018 collection, but you can snap up a similar one here.)

Summer's long dress trend is extending its way deep into fall, with everyone sticking to shin-to-ankle grazers during New York fashion week. I'm a big fan of this silhouette because it's feminine, sandal-to-sneaker-to-stiletto versatile, and throw-on-and-go. I'd like to whirl around in these dresses from Alessandra Rich (above), Topshop, Mango, Warm, Self Portrait (on sale!), Red Valentino, and Stylekeepers.

While micro florals, suiting and lots of lavender are dominating New York's Spring 2018 runways, a new must-have pair of jeans are ruling the streets. Their distinct trademarks: straight-legged, high-waisted, cropped, and faded. I especially like these versions from Levi's, Re/Done, 7 For All Mankind, Frame, Mother and Vince.

I had so much fun celebrating the launch--and overnight sellout!--of the Mar x Clare V. Marmy jacket and bag in New York last week. See all the pics here and here. Don't fret if you didn't get your hands on one as I will be cooking up some more tricked-out (but different!) Marmy jackets in the next few weeks. Keep your eyes peeled!

Exciting news! I've teamed up my good friend and bag designer extraordinaire Clare Vivier to create two things we're going to wear all fall long--and beyond! First, the MARMY, a military jacket, tricked out with hand-painted stripes, silk grosgrain ribbon around the collar, cropped, ribbed sleeves and the most universally flattering, one-size-fits-all fit. The hand-painted pocket monogram is optional, but you know I can't resist one, especially when I can do it various eye-popping hues. I plan to wear this jacket with pretty much everything in my closet, from jeans to midi dresses, under my winter coat and over my coziest sweaters. Also crazy cute is the Lauren cross-body bag that comes with a floral shoulder strap, room for your cell phone and wallet, and the perfect amount of clean leather for another monogram!

Chalk it up to denial, or simply a meager attempt to extend summer: I'm stepping into fall with sandal-like shoes. The pointy-toe babouche-inspired slippers are not only relaxed and comfortable, but their skin-baring sexiness is a nice contrast to all the layers I'll be piling on top! I love these on-trend versions by And Other Stories (above), Ulla Johnson, Schutz, Aquazuura, The Row, Figue, and Manolo Blahnik.
