VERSATILE PIECES

VERSATILE PIECES

I like pieces with versatility. Easy styles that can go from day to night without missing a beat. Two of my new favorites are a pair of Sophie Bille Brahe pearl earrings and a black linen Ascenso dress (previously posted here), both from Mytheresa.

The pearl cluster earrings are sold as singles which opens the suggestion to mix or match. I’m wearing mine as a pair with additional pearls on one ear for a climbing effect. I’ve been looking for a modern pearl earring that is interesting but not too funky. These work beautifully. Actually, all of the Sophie Bille Brahe styles are lovely and I had a hard time narrowing the selection down to one.

The black linen dress from Asceno will have a number of lives. A definite vacation piece to go from beach to street to bar in style. It also looks nice belted. The bow at the shoulder can be tied in the back or front depending on how I want to wear it. Because of the deeply cut sides, I added a black bandeau top to wear underneath for additional coverage.

Adding to my spring purchases from Mytheresa, these pieces will flow seamlessly into my wardrobe and complement so many other items. The new Bottega Veneta bag I posted on last month, also from Mytheresa, would look great with this dress. The brands and selection at Mytheresa are just a couple of reasons I’m a loyal customer. Ease of purchasing and customer service make the shopping experience a pleasure.

    Your skin looks amazing. Do you think it’s bc of your led mask? It’s a visible difference.

      Thank you. I’m using the LED mask and the NuFace device, so it might be the combo. I do see a difference in texture since I’ve started using them, but wrinkles are still there. I’m going to stick with the devices though to see how far they can take me. Good lighting helps for the photos too.

    Karima, you look so beautiful in that dress and the earrings are such a nice fit on your ear. Lovely art work in the background.

    Love the post. Can you please share the artist of the landscape above your head in the picture?

      Thank you. The painting is one of my finds years ago from an antique market.

    It’s exquisite, looks like a California landscape with eucalyptus trees in the forefront. I live in San Diego and have been looking for a piece exactly like it! Hope I find one as beautiful as yours!

Gray is taking a back seat this season in my usual Gray is taking a back seat this season in my usual fall round up. Instead, warm, caramel tones have all of my attention. Mixing various hues results in an interesting look that feels more naturally acquired versus overly styled.

The Row silk scarf looks like something you could easily miss, but it’s the perfect finishing touch to so many looks. It truly goes with everything. Toteme’s travel loafers (in any color) is a must for any travel wardrobe. And I don’t know how this zipped cardigan got past me until now. It’s fantastic and in my cart.

My closet is slowly becoming more Khaite-centric w My closet is slowly becoming more Khaite-centric with every new collection. Each season, I’m finding at least a few pieces from Khaite on the very top of must have list. I like how the styles stand out on their own making a modern statement in a subtle way. Adding a Khaite belt, sweater, or pair of jeans nudges a more current feel on my wardrobe without looking fashion obsessed.

Now, it’s time for a bag. The Lilith specifically caught my eye. Understated chic in a quietly sophisticated way. The slim size would make this ideal for travel when something more than an everyday bag is required. The black and cream leather are beautiful, but the latticework of Swarovski crystals is extra special.

One of the loveliest dresses I’ve tried recently One of the loveliest dresses I’ve tried recently. From @lelarose, a designer whose work I love. The detail and intricacies in each flower is beyond. Scroll through for a close up.

I’m wearing the dress with gold and black suede T-strap @chanelofficial sandals. I added a belt for definition at the waist but think a grosgrain or satin ribbon would do the trick. Although I love the idea of pearls on the belt, I’d prefer a non logo with this dress. Link to dress in today’s story.

Since I received this lovely necklace from Devon W Since I received this lovely necklace from Devon Woodhill, I’ve barely taken it off. And according to Melissa Levy, founder and designer of Devon Woodhill Fine Jewelry, that’s exactly how the collection is intended to be worn. Each treasured piece is a timeless memento for daily and occasion wear.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As I said in an earlier post - jewelry, fashion and interior design are opportunities to tell a story, which is why I adore this necklace. The 18k gold Florentine etched circle is elegant in its simplicity and can be personalized with a monogram, more charms, or worn as is. The beauty is in creating a modern heirloom reflecting your story. #bespoke #jewelry

The fabric in the first black dress from a few day The fabric in the first black dress from a few days ago had a tonal metallic thread that provided sparkle in a subtle way. Beading takes it to another level and perhaps too far for my taste. Both of today's black dresses are pretty - one offers coverage and the other is about shape. But, neither will make the final cut. I ventured out and bought them on @therealreal (I have a couple more on their way).

Updating a vignette on an antique wine tasting tab Updating a vignette on an antique wine tasting table from Bruce Graney & Co. via the Ann Dennis Showroom (how I miss that spot!). Newly purchased transferware from a Dallas consignment store with an @astierdevillatte vase and contemporary bowl from @aleph_gallery 🍂

I’m always collecting and repurposing pieces to give them a fresh moment. Brown and white is my current obsession.🍂🤍🍂

Love this @andresotaloraofficial blue and white floral print. Scroll through to see it worn with a sash I added to dress it up. Plus it gives the waistline a little definition and gently breaks up the pattern. Very comfortable and easy to wear. @andresotaloraofficial is a brand very much on my radar. Love the prints and silhouettes 🤍🤍🤍@modaoperandi #dresses #eventdressing
