big-time blazers
Tuesday, October 4
Blazers are back big time this fall with a new oversized silhouette. Balenciaga's voluminous version, above, is the trend's pioneer, with structured shoulders, an hourglass shape, and extra long length. Other designers are following suit, of course, and in some cases, a lot less expensively, tempting me to throw one on in lieu of a predictable fall jacket or coat. Among my favorites are these by New Look, Etoile Isabel Marant, And Other Stories, Stella McCartney, Masscob, and H&M.

pink ladies
Monday, October 3
My 8-year-old niece will be delighted that her favorite color pink is the new black. In other words: the current fashion favorite. Over the weekend in Paris, designers such as Valentino, Celine, Balenciaga, Givenchy and Rochas served up a series of Spring 2017 silhouettes that ranged from pale blush to eye-popping fuchsia. Fashion show attendees are already adopting this runway trend, blushing head to toe or, more discreetly, with just a pop or two. I could easily jump onto the bandwagon with these pink pretties from Topshop, Whistles, Mansur Gavriel, Zimmermann, Loewe, J.Crew, Prada, and Ganni (last pic).

seemingly celine
Thursday, September 29
When my interior designer friend turned up at an event yesterday wearing the most gorgeous ruffled-trimmed wrap skirt (similar to the Celine version above and below, but slightly shorter), I had to know: where did she get it?? "L'oeil," she responded. "My new secret source." I pulled out my cell phone and bought it on the spot for $126. I have a feeling this will now be our communal secret source!

storets statements
Wednesday, September 28
The fashion gods have just given me a hall pass to wear jeans all fall long, thanks to some divine intervention from Storets. This just-discovered online source is stocked with jeans-enhancing statement tops that are almost absurdly affordable, including the striped blouse, above, which I just snapped up for $69. Other amazing options, all under $100, include the retro-print shirt (below), this tie-waist blouse, this bow-trimmed top, and this embroidered blouse.

Consider taking up arms immediately in these versions by Rag & Bone (pictured above), Asos, Reclaimed Vintage, Topshop, Off White (second pic, below), and Forever 21.
