LE CATCH

I like how Danish stylist Pernille Teisbaek elevates denim cut-offs, one of summer's most casual staples, with elegant silk blouses and major sandals (Celine, above, Hermes, below, The Row, last image). The result: easy chic. I'd wing it with these breezy blouses from Band of Outsiders, Joseph, Madewell, Crippen, Equipment and J.Crew.

$155, madewell

Madewell describes this red silk dress as "a slip-on-and-you're-done situation." I say well done.

On the subject of zippered tops, this simple yet statement-y J.Crew zippered sweater will be indispensable when autumn blows in. I'm buying in bulk for sure.

The way I want to warm up this winter: a blanket coat. Not only will it be a comfy way to fend off Mr. Frost, but guaranteed, this topper will be one of the defining pieces of the season. Believe it or not, they're already selling like hot cakes. Burberry's coveted version, which model Cara Delevigne wore as the closing look of the Fall 2014 runway show (last image), is already sold out at Netaporter but available here. Chloe's version, above and directly below, can be found here and here. I'd also like to wrap myself up in these cozy options from See by Chloe, Asos (and this one too!) and Alice and Olivia.

$230, piperlime

These sophisticated Mary Janes are quintessentially Gallic-chic and next season spot on.

I typically relegate my red Superga sneakers, pictured here, to mundane days, filled with errand running and whatnot. Vogue editor Alessandra Codinha, above, proves that these kicks deserve to come out of my closet more often. When teamed with a feminine yet easygoing skirt or dress, they're good enough for shopping jaunts, bopping around town, fun lunching, and more. Plus, they couldn't be more comfortable.

$395, netaporter

My aunt used to drive an antique convertible grey Mercedes, which she called the Grey Lady. We used to take it out for leisurely drives along the coast or to dinner at The Ivy. This is my version of the Grey Lady, a classic beauty that offers a smooth, long ride.
