fall flats
Thursday, August 3
Fall's must-have flats are already stepping out and about. Mango's Alaia-inspired Mary Janes, above, and Dear Frances Khaite-like mesh ballerinas, below, are hitting my stride. I recently bought this sparkly pair by Steve Madden along with the $44(!) pearl slides, last pic, because summer's not over yet! I'm also eyeing these by Le Monde Beryl, Stuart Weitzman and Loeffler Randall.

A few weeks ago, my twin sister and I photographed and styled Unsubscribed's pre-fall collection, which is now available. Unsubscribed designs the kind of clothes we love most: the ones that transcend trends and remain forever chic. Plus, it uses recyclable fabrics, ethical manufacturing and natural fibers--the definition of consciously-made slow fashion. Check out some of our latest closet heroes: the striped button-downs, the go-with-everything white denim skirt, cashmere v-neck sweaters in the yummiest colors and the most flattering one-piece suits. See the entire collection here!
hot and steamy
Tuesday, August 1
Manhattan may be the polar opposite of Montauk (especially on a summer Friday at 5PM) but, bizarrely, they can accommodate the same exact wardrobe! I confirmed this fact over the past week, with pieces that swung seamlessly from Via Carota to Surf Lodge. Here's a look at the ones from Sir, above, Cleobella, G. Label, Unsubscribed, Doen and Asos that pulled double-duty and then some! These other beauties in my arsenal from Alemais, Good American, Cara Cara and Tanya Taylor would also pull of the trick!
out east
Monday, July 31
A Saturday afternoon whirl around East Hampton cracked wide open what my wardrobe is lacking: a decadent day dress that seamlessly goes from beach to street. This morning I filled that gaping hole with the embroidered Vita Kin, above, at 20% off! (Just heads up that there are all kinds of wardrobe heroes, along with everyday statement jewelry on sale at Matches!) And while everyone out east is opting for the raffia Loewe, I prefer the leather-trimmed, more-under-the-radar Chloe, below, also on sale!
mind the gap

How cute--and essential--are these bib shirts? They're from the Gap and on sale, so I bought them both! Staple stripes, above, and the lace, below, are amazingly versatile: dressed down with denim or polished with tailored trousers!
pearl pleaser
Wednesday, July 26
I sized up (to a size 10!) for a more casual, camp-collar shirt vibe to wear with jeans; unbuttoned and cardigan-style over tank tops and slip dresses; and later on, under roomy crewneck sweaters with the studded collar peeking out!
