THE LITTLE BLACK BLAZER

THE LITTLE BLACK BLAZER

Every now and then, I go off track into the land of prints, but my day-in-day-out preference is based on solid basics. I’ve spent years building a closet full of these staples with zero regrets. One mini obsession is a black blazer and I’ve collected more than a few. For summer, I love the three-quarter sleeve, slightly shrunken version perfectly created by The Row. I wear it with everything – jeans, skirts, shorts or dresses. A little black blazer is the easiest piece to add instant polish to even the most casual look. And yes, I wear it all summer long.

Shopping for pieces designed to be around for years to come takes restraint. Recognizing the weight of their importance to a thoughtfully created wardrobe allows the editing process to move along with ease. I’ve found a number of my favorite timeless pieces at MyTheresa. Of course, their inventory also includes the best pieces of the moment, but I turn to MyTheresa as my go-to source for solid investment pieces. With tax and duty included in their pricing, I feel like I’m often getting the best pricing available on luxury items. Plus, their prompt two-day shipping and amazing customer service have made me a repeat customer.

The Row schoolboy blazer is a perfect example. It’s an essential part of their collection season after season and I can’t recall ever seeing it go on sale. I’m pairing it in this post with other timeless pieces I think are important to have in a well-stocked classic closet. Use it as the anchor for a travel wardrobe, or as the last piece you’ll grab before heading out the door.

    I have the black and cream School Boys. I love them. The cream is a beautiful color. They are my go-to toppers. I hope and pray that I will be able to enjoy them again some time soon.

      I love the shade of the cream jacket. Perfect.

    All beautiful options, Karima. I am confused about the blazer’s sizing? MT indicates it runs small, but NAP says true to size? What is your opinion and what size are you wearing, if you don’t mind sharing. Also, your home is beautiful.

      Thank you. I think it runs a bit small across the chest. I’m usually a size 6 and am wearing a size 8 in The Row jacket.

    Yes that’s great. I also have a white linen blazer, sharpens up summer outfits, including jeans.

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.
