The other day I spotted what could possibly be the coolest t-shirt ever: it tied in the front and had a long dramatic sash. Turns out the t-shirt was actually a dress by Free People, which a woman had stylishly tied around her abdomen, transforming it into a dramatic top. Then along came this fantastic discovery: a Topshop tee that ties cutely/discreetly in the back.

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.
