in the hood
Monday, February 13
Fashion over function is typically the mandate for New York Fashion Week goers. But not this year, as they're opting to weather the cold in more practical style--with help from the humble hoodie. Worn under a more luxurious statement coat, this practical layer lends much-needed warmth, downtown edge--and, ideally, a fun pop of color. I like these hoodies from H&M, Topshop, Volcom, Tibi, Rebecca Minkoff and James Perse.

more pearls
Friday, February 10
For those of you who missed out on the Miu Miu lookalikes yesterday, don't despair because now you can get your hands (and feet!) on these pearl-trimmed Chanel-ish slides (the real ones, above, are already sold out.) Happy Friday!
the aussie cover up
Friday, February 10
Looking ahead to summer (in spite of the thunder snow and pouring rain!), I'm looking to the currently sun-drenched Australians, who are eschewing the traditional swimsuit cover-up for a knotted old-school t-shirt instead. The look is understated and cool--yet alluring, too. I'm particularly partial to the Billabong long sleeve t-shirt, above, as wearing one might help me better blend in with my surf-loving boys and husband! Other great options include this, or this (in size small!), or this.

tassels
Tuesday, February 7
Last Saturday night I attended a fundraiser for my children's school, a festive Moroccan-themed event, brimming with embroidered caftans, hooded djellabas, and glittery slippers. I took the opportunity to bust out a pair of fun tassel earrings, and considering the compliments I received, I'm now planning to wear them again and again. I love how they add an exotically opulent accent to any outfit (even a simple H&M top, above). I also like these jaw-droppers from Jolie (similar to above), Bauble Bar, Serafina, and Chloe.

be mine
Monday, February 6
One of my good friend likes to celebrate Valentine's Day by showing herself some love and splurging on something fun and frivolous. Inspired, I drummed up a list (yes, list!) of love-tokens, because you know I can't one-stop shop! So far, I'm coveting this cute Lingua Franca sweater (above), these rose gold and diamond Anne Sisteron earrings (or this perfectly blingy necklace), these beaded Aquazzura slides, and this romantic getaway-ready Lioness dress.
