I love a good LBD and these interpretations are fresh! A flared, pleated midi from @awake_mode or a voluminous short dress by @studiocutlabel ... these both look good. Pair with a white shoe for contrast then add a bag in an unexpected color like this green stamped lizard beauty from @margesherwood_official
.
Both of these dresses can be worn casually or elevated for evening. White @sophibillebrah pearl earrings or a @ouroborosjewellery moonstone ring make a striking statement.

New post on blog with weekend sale links: .
Yesterday I added a couple of photos to my Instagram story of a few items I picked up while shopping. Sometimes things I’d completely overlook online will catch my eye when shopping in person. That’s the case with a denim shirt, jeans and lug sole boots. I received a lot of requests for sources so here goes.
.
The denim shirt is from @frame . I wasn’t sure about the shirred sleeve until I tried it on, but I think it’s a winner. Checks all the right boxes…seasonless, dress up or down, good with jeans or skirt, great price.
.
I wanted to see how it looked with denim in a different wash, so I tried the @RagandBone “Ruth Super High Waist Straight” in Baywater. They’re quite good as far as fit and satisfy my search for simple jeans. On a side note, Rag & Bone is part of @bloomingdales Friends and Family this weekend. Many of my go-to brands including @MOTHER, @AG, @AGOLDE, and @FRAME are also included in the F&F sale (ending 10/14). .
Moving over to the shoe department, which I never pass on, I spied a pair of lug sole boots from @gianvitorossi in the most gorgeous caramel tan color. I usually don’t look twice at a heel this high, but the lug sole compensates for the height. And, for all those who asked, yes, they are comfortable. The combination of a lug sole, chunky heel, and a secure ankle makes them quite wearable. Another side note #sale tip: get $100 off this weekend (exp 10/13) on shoes or handbags with code NMSAVE at @neimanmarcus . Plus there are more #lugsoleboots, an obsession of mine, included in Bloomingdales F&F promotion. It’s a good weekend to shop.

Shopping for denim? The most forward-looking jean styles are the simplest ones. Pared-back authenticly faded denim without the addition of whiskers, tears or fraying feels the most modern. A straight stovepipe leg paired with a high waist provides endless easy styling options. Wear with everything from a sneaker and tee to a ladylike square toe pump and polished tote. Play with proportions with a voluminous top like this black taffeta shirt from Studio Cut. A pair of gorgeous drop #sophiebillebrahe pearl earrings add personality and balance out the silhouette of the blouse. .

A couple of days ago I shared my SS20 picks from @modaoperandi TRUNKSHOW. The inspiration boards are saved in my story highlights above⬆️⬆️⬆️ under MODA OPERANDI and they're live on the blog. 🖤 One of my favorites is a collection of NEW CLASSICS. They're all such wearable pieces that will go the distance. Trunk shows expire so don't wait to snap up these pieces. I've got that leather skirt in my cart right now!
.
From A NOTE ON STYLE: Closet essentials with a slight tweak sum up the new classics. These are indispensable, workhorse pieces in the wardrobe so they need to be modern to look sharp. Unstructured blazers and loose shorts teamed with simple flats are a forever uniform. I love a suit for spring in a bleached stone hue. I’d wear it with collectible gold pieces from @ouroborosjewelry including this handmade 18K gold link chain and these edgy articulated snake earrings. .
I’ve been hunting down long #leather skirts for years and am so excited about the bounty of options available for spring. This @goldsign dark olive beauty is a must. .
Other staples for the new season include a fine knit black polo which would look equally appropriate with trousers, a skirt or white jeans. The perennially chic woven tote is a bit more polished with this elegant rendition including thick leather straps and a smooth, refined texture.

Spent a lovely morning yesterday listening to @madelinedstuart give a presentation for @decorativeartssociety on her work spanning decades with a focus on a recent passion project of restoring the 1930s iconic Cedric Gibbons/Delores del Rio House. Walked away inspired by Stuart's dedication to the preservation of LA architecture and her intense focus on detail. She's also a fantastic, funny speaker that had us all thoroughly entertained. Stuart's first book, "No Place Like Home", published by @rizzolibooks in September is a must-have for any design enthusiast. Loved the lecture and meeting Madeline, a designer whose work I've been admiring since the beginning of her career.

One of my favorite looks from the Celine AW19 runway is actually a combination of some pretty basic pieces. A crewneck sweater with denim? Easy. Corduroy blazer? Done. But, it’s the subtle details that pull it all together and give it a current edge. A frill collared shirt, solid or striped, is the shirt to have now. When the @Celine version sells out, I’m sure there will be plenty of other options available. Ditto for a thin snakeskin belt. Let the more utilitarian leather belts we’ve been wearing for the last decade take a back seat and welcome this polished beauty into your closet.

Wearing white jeans past Labor Day looks fine when paired with seasonal pieces like a cashmere sweater and boots. I added a beautiful pearl necklace from @dianecottonjewelry to complete my simple look for the @vanmorrisonofficial concert last weekend at the Santa Barbara Bowl. A quick overnight trip at @belmondelencanto felt like a full weekend of relaxation with the pampering and service at one of my favorite hotels. Good food + glorious weather + Van Morrison = perfection to me! #goodtimes #wearingwhite #blackandwhite #santabarbara #elencanto

We’re heading into the first weekend in #October and it’s supposed to be a warm one. This is nothing new for autumn in #California but it still frustrates me when I’m craving sweater weather. Instead, I’ll be embracing a palette of gray in “keep cool” silhouettes – like wide-leg jeans – to get me through the heat of the month. Sandals will be on call as well.

A hint of fall color in #budapest from a couple of weeks ago. Wish I could have brought that cool crisp weather back with me. 🍂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

With all the suiting looks for fall, the #classicwhitetee takes center stage. I've come to the conclusion that the perennial search for the "perfect one" is fruitless. This is not a one size fits all category...fit and proportion dictate preference.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My go-to's haven't changed much over the years and include @ATM (both cropped and long), @Rag&Bone, and @JamesPerse. And because you can never have too many, I just ordered one from @NinetyPercent from @NET-A-PORTER to try something new. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What's you favorite??? @arket and @vince got a lot of praise from comments on the blog. Thank you to everyone who chimed in with answers. ⬆️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
