LE CATCH

To say that I have a basket bag obsession right now would be an understatement. Now these leather-trimmed buckets by Lindroth Design are fueling the flames further! I love their Jane Birkin/Hermes-spirited handles, and how they come in small and large sizes. Personally, I prefer small--but would be happy with any size or all!

Proof that a wine-laced work lunch meeting can be productive: Today, not only was I introduced to my new favorite rose wine, Bermejo Listan Negro Rosado, (for the record, I had just one glass!), but I also discovered my new go-to red lipstick: Rodin Luxe Lipstick in Red Hedy. It's perfectly creamy, infused with yummy-smelling essential oils and day-to-night wearable. A true find!

While everyone in my neck of the woods is still reeling over last's night dramatic ending at the Oscars, I've moved on to the fantastic and inspiring theater that is Milan Fashion Week. The fluffy feathers at Prada! The wild florals at Marni! The bold red boots at Fendi! Off the catwalk, blockbuster outerwear played the starring role, specifally graphic furs, high gloss leathers and fluffy jackets. Here are some of my favorite looks--and ways to pull them off right now from Sandy Liang (on sale!), Warehouse, Harvey Faircloth, Shrimps, Coach, Lanvin (on sale!), Mango and Pixie Market.

Spotted everywhere from New York to London to Milan: eye-popping winter white sunglasses. I love their vintage spirit and look-at-me boldness--and how they add a cool pop to any outfit. (I worked this pair last summer, which you can find here.) I particularly like these styles from Saint Laurent (pictured above and below), Topshop, Illesteva, Asos, and J.Crew.
