thanksgiving treats
Monday, November 21
No, I haven't shopped for Thanksgiving provisions at the market yet (yikes!), but I have already started hunting and gathering at the various pre-Thanksgiving sales. At Netaporter, highlights include clothing both cold weather and vacation ready, such as the one-shoulder Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini statement, above, and the strapless Peter Pilotto, below. This head-turning lace dress that I wore to a recent gala is also marked down, along with these Isabel Marant boots, this Paul & Joe shearling jacket, and this holiday party-worthy Self Portrait dress. Meanwhile, over at Bergdorf Goodman, I'd be grateful for these goods by Cinq a Sept, Vince, Diane Von Furstenberg, and Tibi. You can check it all out here. And count on more great sales launching this week!

the maxi coat

I'm loving this season's super long coats, their additional body-covering warmth, and, of course, extra stylish drama. Exceptionally good ones currently available include these by Ralph Lauren, See by Chloe, Mackage, Topshop, A.L.C, and Smythe. The Prada bag, above, is pretty excellent too. You can find a similar version here.

Thanks to a fashion insider friend, I just discovered the latest and greatest pair of jeans. Cut straight through the hips and thighs like vintage 501's, with frayed asymmetrical-cut ankles (a la Vetements) in a non-stretch, heavy-weight denim, these GRLFRND jeans are super flattering, comfortable and day to night wearable. Mine are en route!

bohemian rhapsody
Wednesday, November 16
Last Sunday afternoon I turned up at a friend's baby shower bash, wearing a floral, bohemian-spirited dress. And I wasn't alone. Literally everyone had on a bohemian dress, including the unerringly stylish model-actress mother-to-be. This fashion coincidence can only be explained by the merits of a boho dress: it's effortlessly chic, ultra feminine and endlessly wearable. At the party, there were excellent versions (many winter-worthy with savvy styling!) including the one above by SPELL, but I also love these by Alice McCall, Natalie Martin, Doen, Zimmermann, Ulla Johnson, Free People, and Preen by Thornton Bregazzi.

British beauties like Lucy Williams, above, are all over Alexa Chung's latest collection for Marks & Spencer, and it's no wonder: it's replete with her spot on style signatures, from a sharp velvet tux jacket to a feminine polka dot halter dress. My favorites are this PVC trench coat, pictured, this military-inspired topper and this forever chic cable knit jumper. See the whole collection here.

LA's endless summer weather--it's going to be in the '80s again today!--has me coveting this vibrant tassel-trimmed Mochi dress, along with these other global warming-friendly dresses from English Factory, Alexis, Reformation, Etoile Isabel Marant, Lisa Marie Fernandez, Cynthia Rowley, and Warm.
