LE CATCH

For those endeavoring to crack the secret of French style, look no further than to my new real girl style crush, Paris-based stylist and fashion editor Adenorah Mais. Her wardrobe brims with distinctly Gallic accents, such as simple, feminine blouses, perfectly-fitting high-waisted jeans, striped Breton tops, year-round basket bags, and lace-up espadrilles. Like the chicest French femmes, Adenorah's outfits are effortlessly simple, comprised of closet classics--i.e., jeans, comfortable tops. The je ne sais quois happens when she adds inimitably cool accessories like a vibrant shoe or a retro-spirited ladylike bag. Some of her style signatures I'd like to integrate into my fashion mileu include this sailor striped Maje sweater (pictured immediately below), these reconstructed Levi's jeans (or these from Current/Elliott), these white Le Specs sunglasses, this striped J.Crew tee, this pinstriped Veronica Beard dress, this white vintage-looking For Love and Lemons blouse (or this one), this cropped Marc Jacobs jacket, this Sensi Studio basket bag (or these Jane Birkin-inspired vintage ones here and here), and these lace-up Loeffler Randall flats.

Everywhere I go, from a mid-week luncheon at the Chateau Marmont (above) to last night's festive Chanel 2016/17 Cruise presentation, my new Rebecca Taylor jean jacket is raking in loads of compliments. Trimmed with stretch tweed and a peplum hem, the jacket looks polished without being prim, plus it's infinitely versatile.

As you know my twin sis (A.K.A. Coco) regularly photographs the J.Crew catalog, but what you don't know is that during the shoots she is typically giving me real time updates on all her must-have favorites in that season's collection. Needless to say this gets my juices flowing, and I can then hardly wait for the next catalog/collection to drop. Well the time has come once again, and the goods are here! Among the Coco-approved desirables, doubly confirmed by yours truly, are the cute, cropped and two-toned green chinos (above), this tie-neck tuxedo blouse, this sleek ribbon-trimmed coat, these party-ready PJ pants, this everyday-chic tie-neck sweater, this easy breezy white blouse, this lush pink tweed coat, these ankle strap zebra print flats and this mensy check print coat. Enjoy!

I'm loving all the checked blazers out and about this fall, specifically their sophisticated masculine vibe and outfit-polishing power. They look extra chic and modern styled with unexpectedly casual pieces, like a hoodie or a t-shirt (see last pic from H&M). Check out these chic checked blazers from Balenciaga (below), J.Crew, Olivia Palermo + Chelsea 28, and Veronica Beard.

I don't know if I'm feeling the one-shoulder outerwear trend (too contrived!), but I thoroughly support taking the one-shoulder trend into cooler weather with this Theory top!

Oozing with coziness and covered-up warmth, this And Other Stories turtleneck also features an unexpected peekaboo slit, offering myriad cardigan-like layering possibilities. I'd like to throw it over a lace-trimmed lingerie-like camisole like this or this, or a print blouse such as this or this, and, on bitterly cold days, a vibrant knit like this, this or this!

My friend Mary Alice Haney and I have long shared an equal love for fashion. She parlayed her passion into jobs at various Conde Nast magazines, working with stylists like Polly Allen Mellon, and most recently into a super successful clothing line called Haney, stocked in stores such as Neiman Marcus and Brown's in London and worn by the likes of Taylor Swift and Reese Witherspoon. It was only a matter of time that the two of us would team up and collaborate on something we both would want in our closets. Introducing Le Catch xo Haney, a limited edition collection of dresses that reflect both our aesthetics: unabashed femininity (Mary Alice!) and effortless chic, along with a price that's right (Marlien). What I love about these dresses, available in denim, black and white silk, is its day-to-night, sandal-to-stiletto versatility. It can also be worn as a tunic with pants. Truly, the possibilities are endless! You can check out the collection here.

Truth be told: I'm still in denial that winter is coming. Hence the greatness that is Shopbop's just-launched three-day sale (25% off your entire order, and 30% off if you spend over $500!), stocked with both amazing cold weather-friendly pieces-and LA-temperate-year-round styles! Helping me come to grips with the imminent frost: this cozy chic Acne Studios jacket (pictured above), this faux fur Otto d'ame, this English Factory tie-sleeve sweater, this Glamorous statement knit, this Clu sweater, these wide-leg Eve Denim jeans, these Loeffler Randall boots, and this striped Faithfull shirt. And for those random (but more recurrent!) heat wave days: this cute Carolina K dress, below, this one-shouldered Georgia blouse, and this Piper ruffle mini dress! Check everything out--cool and hot--here.

For me, bubblegum pink hard is always hard to resist, especially when it's laced with sweet, feminine bows.
