LE CATCH

I've never considered myself a biker boot type of person but my twin sister just proved it might actually be in my DNA. She recently scooped up this new pair by J.Crew--so naturally I did too. And while I was at it, I discovered another surprising style trait: this out-of-the-blue bright yellow James Street sweater. My new zebra bag, by the way, is from Ann Mashburn.

As everyone knows I spend a good chunk of my days shopping--but now it turns out, I'm even shopping in my sleep. Last night I purchased this perfectly-oversized Apiece Apart t-shirt, inspired by my sister who recently bought it, and then I opened my own store, dedicated solely to selling t-shirts. Might as well turn this dream of mine into reality today and share with you a tight edit of current best-in-market t-shirts by perfectwhitetee, Victoria Beckham (below), Madewell and Toteme.

It was no coincidence that the hoisery section at Target on the corner of Greenwich and Murray was completely cleaned out this past Monday morning. The CVS a few blocks away had a just skimpy selection of opaque tights, but not the sheer ones that right now everyone is wanting to wear--and I am not talking about the Wall Street execs who work in the vicinity. Yes, sheer stockings are the latest must-have--whether they're by Legggs or Wolford. If pantyhose isn't your thing, then stick to white socks with ballet slippers (not loafers, like last year!), or to instantly update your fall look NYC-style, simply wrap a light sweater around your neck like a scarf or slip on a pair of these influencer-approved Amazon leather gloves. Remember nonchalance is key with all these styling strategies!

If it were not for the Christmas trees twinkling all over New York City, you'd never guess the holidays are around the corner, especially when people are still out and about in t-shirts. Hence it wouldn't be too much of a challenge to contemplate right now scooping up the pretty crochet dress or the cut-out Christopher Esber, below (holiday party-ready with a blazer!) as they just went on sale along with a slew of designer clothing and accessories at Shopbop. Also good for now and later: the Free People utility jacket, below, these Schutz ballet flats, these B Sides barrel leg jeans, these endlessly versatile black Rag & Bone trousers, and this TWP button-down blouse.

Leandra Cohen, above, gently suggested to shoe designer Emme Parsons to make her signature T-strap with a kitten heel--and now all of us are obsessed! She has them in both black patent leather and burnt red satin! I took mine out in suede for a whirl the other night, see below! Speaking of obsessed: have you seen H&M's new party collection? It's gooooooood, particularly the embellished blazer, fringe mini, and the rhinestone tuxedo shirt.
