This kind of highly functional, forever-chic (Chanel-like) jacket never gets old.

For my everyday spring uniform, I am going to take a cue from my sister's London-based stylist friend and do it up simply but stylishly. All I need are three very versatile things: a delicate, lace-trimmed blouse (like , , , and ); crisp, high-waisted jeans (my faves from , and ); and barely-there, spring must-have strappy sandals. Alex's shoes are by . I also like these from , , and .

People, I kid you not when I say I have found the holy grail of white t-shirts! This rare gem, pictured above, by , is silky soft, slightly sheer (in a refined way), perfectly-cut, and infinitely versatile. And it's actually a bodysuit, which keeps it from untucking and looking sloppy. I am also not kidding when I say I snapped up two of them because I can't wash them fast enough! I plan to keep wearing them well into winter with these leather pants, this wrap skirt, and this sharp wool blazer. (P.S. My monogrammed phone case, which always rakes in compliments, is from .

I love downtown New Yorker Maryam Nassir Zadeh's lace-up pump--a cool update on a closet classic.

Knits are not ordinary this season, and this embellished cardigan is a prime example. I love its oversized shape, sparkly buttons and handy-dandy pockets.

All the statement-making, eye-catching printastic shirts that punctuated Milan Fashion Week (pictured here) has me hankering for one of my own! I sourced this logo lookalike (similar to below) from , and also dug up these graphic head-turners from (above), , ,, , and .

A classic button-down shirt will always have a special place in my wardrobe, but these NYFW street style pics make me think I need a not-so-classic one, too! A re-invented shirt that shows a little shoulder, or has extra long panels--basically, unexpected details that will crank up my jeans-and-sneaks outfit. Cool tops like this one from Monse (pictured above), (below, on sale!), , , , and .

Typically it's the hero skirts, statement tops and technicolor accessories that trigger the camera flashes outside the shows during New York Fashion Week. This time around, it's--surprise, surprise!--the humble t-shirt. Show-goers strutted out their favorite (read: most reliable) wardrobe staples, including Leandra Medine, above and below, who opted for fresh-looking gray and navy versions, while others stuck to traditional whites. The newly resurrected tee is (once again) proving to be the perfect and most comfortable foil to more eye-popping pieces (think: plaid coats, graphic jackets, and vivid knits). I swear by these iterations from , , , , and .

Everyone agreed at last night's alfresco dinner for x 'x collab (BTW: so cute!) that fall had officially arrived. The damp chill had us wrapped up in blankets and dining shoulder to shoulder for extra body warmth. With this reality check, I can now seriously contemplate new fall layers, or at least transitional ones that will update my below-65-degree wardrobe. One way to go: the overshirt, which ladies in other (colder) lands are employing to stave off the crisp air. They're sporting them over pretty much everything, from dresses to jeans, effecting casual cool with a dash of the unexpected. I have a hunch these overshirts will be out in full force during New York Fashion Week. The lovely thing is that we might already have these oversized shirts in our closets, but I dug some more good ones for you just in case from , (similar to directly below), , , and .
