My latest bout of shoe envy has just been resolved, thanks to these new Everlane pointy toe flats, which will make up for the above Tabitha Simmons pair I missed out on earlier this year. Score! P.S. There is a new version of the Tabitha Simmons that's also worth considering!

I've been on the hunt for a pair of everyday pants that aren't jeans. Ones that are stylish, comfortable and everywhere-friendly. Like my favorite blues, they need to be exceedingly accommodating, able to be teamed with heels, flats and sneakers. In other words: impossibly versatile. Vogue editor Virgina Smith, above, photographed earlier this week in New York, offers up a solid solution: a pair of new and improved khakis. Unlike their dowdy predecessor, this version is cropped, with a modern relaxed fit. They're clearly cool enough to go to fashion shows but also practical for mundane errand-running. I like! I found these options from Mango (love!), Zara, and J.Crew.

Here's a very good reason to give that old, work-ready, black pencil skirt a rest.

It's loud and clear: big earrings are back. They're currently on display in New York this week, and the bigger, it seems, the better. Credit Celine, of course, for this great comeback (pictured above and immediately below), but you can find big beauts elsewhere, like these by Adia Kibur, Maiyet, Asha, Alexis Bittar, Tory Burch, Aurelie Bidermann, Rebecca Minkoff, J.Crew, and Chanel.

What I love about this brand new, luxe-looking, fur-soft J.Crew jacket is that (a) it's actually a fleece jacket but a million times chicer than any fleece jacket I own and (b) it can be taken in loads of fabulous, fashiony directions. For example: right now it can be paired with a casual top and jeans and, come deep winter, zipped up and worn under a wool coat. For me, it will go from the soccer field sidelines (where you can find me cheering on my kids every Saturday this fall!) to vacation apres ski.

Breaking news: the fashion gods have issued a memo to everyone in New York City, instructing them to wear only long skirts and dresses. On the runways (Derek Lam, Rag & Bone, Altuzarra, etc.) and off (proof in these pics), hemlines are below the knee or longer. Between you and me, there are some who believe that longer hemlines predict a stock market decline ahead. But never mind that China-slowdown stuff, let's focus on what matters here! The perk of this covered-up silhouette is that it easily transitions into the cold, winter months, with a pair of tights and boots. I'd like to work this major trend with these standouts by DKNY (this one actually just arrived at my doorstep and it's beyondo!), Whistles, Self Portrait, Tibi, Rachel Comey, Topshop, A.L.C., Alexander Wang, J.Crew, and Zara.

A pleasantly cool sea breeze blew in last night, prompting this new cute cardigan.

A new "it" bag always emerges during fashion week, but this year it's not just one bag garnering all the attention, it's one designer: Loewe. The Spain-based brand has lured in the front-row set with both its timeless and unconventional silhouettes. Perhaps the most coveted is the puzzle bag, a leather carryall comprised of numerous different pieces sewn together to create an original, origami-like shape (featured in pics above and immediately below). It's cleverly designed so that the bag can be collapsed and also worn as a clutch. I personally love the small and simple Bounce bag (last photo), which comes with a removable shoulder strap, and the Flamenco Knot, because it's everyday elegant and infinitely versatile. P.S. You can find Loewe's key knot ring attachments here and here (a nice way to instantly update any bag!).
