A Note on Style

Better Than A Moto

Better Than A Moto

I like moto jackets…on other people. Whenever I’ve tried them, I feel like I’m wearing a costume. But I love the look of sleek, supple leather when it’s done in a simple way, like the shirt jacket above on stylist Alexandra Carl. The clean lines and absence of hardware make it all the more appealing. And I love how its styled in this photo paired back to the classics – perfectly faded denim and a tee – then popped with a bright red J.W. Anderson bag.

    Yes please – I’ve been searching for a leather shirt for the longest time!

    My sentiments exactly on moto jackets. Any I have ever tried on just make me feel like I am trying too hard. Now, the jacket pictured is perfection! If I could find that exact jacket, I would be ecstatic.

    You’re so right, I have a motorcycle jacket and every time I wear it, I feel so silly…I love the shirt-jacket!!

    I started wearing moto leather jackets more than 30 years ago, vintage etc. I guess that’s why at this age I don’t feel silly, they feel very much me. But, I do love this jacket so much and wish someone could identify it. It’s more than a shirt, it has more weight to it. Perfect.

My weekend plans involve a lot of relaxing. I’m My weekend plans involve a lot of relaxing. I’m still playing catch up from my trip so the idea of poking around the house is very appealing. I want to tidy things up for the season now that we’re already in July. Fresh table linens, raffia accents, and new candles will be brought into rotation. 
.
I’m sure you’ve seen the images this week of Nancy Meyers’s @markdsikes_interiors designed home as published in Architectural Digest. I can’t wait to curl up on a lounge chair and read the full story. Every photo I’ve seen so far is simply stunning. Such talent.
.
I’ve obsessed about this Tory Burch printed tablecloth (scroll forward) since I saw it in the New York store last September. It’s time to bring it home. It’s beautiful and will pair nicely with pinks, blues and greens now or warmer tones in the fall. A raffia placemat will add texture and interest peaking out from under a charger or plate. For a complete splurge, I’d select hand painted plates from the Picardie collection created by Zoe de Givenchy for @zdgofficial So lovely.
.
Meanwhile, part of my lounging around means wearing relaxed clothes. My favorite pull on shorts from @cosstores have been getting lots of play. Same with a poplin shirt I’ll tie at the waist or layer over a tank.
.
Two other favorite pieces I’ve been wearing a lot lately are a pair of @fendi silver slides and a @sophiebuhai black knotted pearl necklace. I’ll layer it with other pearls, chains, diamonds or enjoy it simply on its own. Both pieces involve minimal effort in producing a splash of style.
.
The @frenchgirlorganics Rose Lip Polish has been a staple in my beauty cabinet for a long time. My latest discovery is to use it on my cuticles. Seriously the best thing ever. I’m stocking up! This is a must try and savior for anyone with dry cuticles.
.
Enjoy the long weekend and have a happy Fourth!
My wardrobe is fairly consistent with classic piec My wardrobe is fairly consistent with classic pieces so I’ll add fresh, seasonal accessories to bring a little flair to my looks. In collaboration with #Mytheresa I handpicked items that would boost my summer outfits while still staying true to my style. Think raffia bags, bucket hats and flat sandals – summer staples with a twist. 
Details in today’s story on A Note on Style.

Warm summer days mean baring a bit more skin wearing sleeveless tops, shorter hems, and beachwear. I have an arsenal of products I use to prep for the extra exposure. From self tanning products and bronzers to a strong sunscreen, I’ve got my favorites.

The flowers at the George V hotel in Paris are not The flowers at the George V hotel in Paris are notorious for their abundance and style. Working with an annual budget of over one million dollars, Jeff Leatham designs new arrangements every three works with stems refreshed daily. That's roughly 15,000 stems a week. This beautiful little vignette was captured right outside the entrance to the dining room. #jeffleatham #georgeV #fourseasons #florals #paris #FSGeorgeVparis #Summer #Flowers #floralarrangement
