A Few Essentials I’ll Update

A Few Essentials I’ll Update

Little tweaks, to what I consider essentials, make all the difference in the world in giving a wardrobe a seasonal boost. Those essentials for me are my everyday run-around gear consisting of jeans, comfortable shoes, simple tops and a not too precious bag that’s easy to wear all day long.

The cropped flare is my favorite silhouette right now in jeans. I’ll be adding a pair in black, and maybe a color, to round out my denim options. They modernize the simplest looks and are so easy to pair with just about any shoe.  As far as shoes, I’m always interested in new run-around worthy styles because I know I’ll wear them to death. I’ve had my eyes on clogs the last few seasons, but none really grabbed me. Thats changed with the suede Gucci in taupe. The heel height is perfect for everyday errands and they’ll up the style factor to most fall looks. As far as tops, I’m looking for a couple of turtlenecks. Slim fitted, but not tight, and preferably ribbed, its the essential knit for fall.  With a hint of 70’s influence, it plays well with flared pants, a-line skirts and layered under dresses. A beauty in cashmere would cover the ground for day and night dressing. I’ll look for a lighter weight option too. Lastly, bags…I’ve been looking for a soft variation on the hobo/bucket bag for awhile in a neutral. I’m considering Fendi’s Anna Seller. The raw edge detail and exaggerated stitches are exceptional details and make this bag a year round classic.

    Oh my goodness! Are clogs really making a comeback? I remember having a pair in dark blue suede. I guess I should have held on to those!

The vintage Patricia von Musulin earrings styled b The vintage Patricia von Musulin earrings styled by Roberto Johnson in this story from The Cut take me straight back to the 1980s. I'm sure we carried the exact pair at Lina Lee during my years employed at the Beverly Hills store. If I dig deep, I might still have them!​​​​​​​​

I can’t wait for warmer weather to wear easy sum I can’t wait for warmer weather to wear easy summer looks like this. This #ASCENO would be so simple to dress up or down with jewelry, flats or heels. And these #LOROPIANA brown sandals are fabulous classics. Both pieces would be the starting point for several outfits.

My must have summer accessories will always include stylish sunglasses. The @saltoptics x @amareesnewport frames are my current go-tos checking all the right boxes. Add my new petite Bottega bag and I’ll be good to go.

Meanwhile, I discovered the instagram account of @cauvarjao highlighting gorgeous properties in Brasil and Portugal like the home pictured here. So beautiful! Take a look!
