This American couple’s Belgian apartment, in the March issue of Elle Decor, caught my eye. Or rather, pulled my heart strings. I grew up in homes with a similar aesthetic– Eames, Knoll, Mies van der Rohe, and George Nakashima furniture mixed with antiques and Oriental rugs. When my oldest daughter was a toddler, I gave away my Barcelona chairs fearing the sharp edges. Today, a Mies chair would shake up my living room nicely.
While cruising the stores last week, I snapped a few pics of items I’m considering.
As much as I covet the Céline resort collection coat Anya’s wearing, the image reminded me that I gave my black 3.1 Phillip Lim clutch to my older daughter (I know Anya’s holding a book, it made me think of my lack of a clutch). At Barneys, I found a gorgeous replacement by Nina Ricci – the gold band makes it super chic. And I still need a block-heeled shoe for two graduations, I’m leaning toward the Tabitha Simmons sandals. The Chloé scalloped pumps are good too, but more for meetings, etc. I put this capelet by The Row on my spring wish list, but I’m not sure if I would wear it. TBC.

As noted before, the mule is still going strong this spring. This pair, by Gianvito Rossi, is the perfect color and height.
Blue skies, chic shoes, and a furry friend– don’t need much more than that!

This is my favorite story in The Gentlewoman’s SS14 issue. Set in Griffith Park in Los Angeles, makes me want to grab a blanket and a book. Spring can’t come fast enough.
These Isabel Marant sandals may be the ones. I love the neutral color and smaller profile on the foot. TBC.
After 20 years casting models for Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and fashion shows, I wanted to spend more time with my daughters. KiC is my way to share my thoughts on fashion and style. I believe style should permeate every aspect of our lives — from home, to family, to where we go, and naturally, what we wear — especially when we're just running around.
