TRANSITIONAL PIECES TO WEAR THIS MONTH

TRANSITIONAL PIECES TO WEAR THIS MONTH

Welcome to March. For me, it’s the month that kicks off winter to spring transitional dressing. I’m in the mood for a seasonal change with a lighter palette but not quite ready for fabrics that sacrifice warmth. So with jeans – dark, light or white – I’ll pair a soft unlined jacket that will layer over a tank, tee, or sweater without excess bulk. I’ll go with a color and shape that lends itself to cozy dressing with boots, a casual run-around outfit with loafers, or dressed up a bit with a heeled sandal.

The pea coat I’m wearing above from S Max Mara is a great example. It’s part of a group of key transitional items I’ve picked from MyTheresa that I’ll be sharing all week. I love this jacket! The slightly cropped, boxy silhouette feels modern. The softness factor and color are divine. It’s the perfect grab and go piece that works beautifully for daytime layering or as an evening topper. For California, it will serve as a year round piece.

I’ve raved about shopping on MyTheresa before. I’m thrilled to partner with them since I purchase a fair amount of my luxury buys on their site. It’s a favorite online destination for fashion edited to my taste. And with fresh products arriving daily, I never miss my morning email to see what’s new. I often find unique items and designers on MyTheresa.com I’ve not seen on other sites, or pieces in a color way other retailers don’t stock…like the S Max Mara jacket above. Orders arrive within days and the return process is a breeze if it doesn’t work out.

Thank you MyTheresa for supporting this post.

    I love the way you have styled these pieces… they look way better than on the MyTheresa website.
    So much so, that I’ve just ordered the cream pea coat. I just hope it looks as great on me as it does on you.

      Thank you! I hope you love it as much as I do. I don’t want to take it off! It’s so soft and comfortable.

    What size of S Max Mara ivory pea coat you have? Is it true to size?

    • Karima

      April 9, 2020

      I’m wearing a size 36. It’s true to size but if you have broad shoulders or a full chest I’d go up a size.

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.

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.

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.
