Feeling Belgian

Since loafer-mania took over the fashion world, I’ve been wearing my Belgians more than ever. A well-loved navy suede pair with jeans is my current school run uniform, and my bubble gum-colored pair, worn with jeans, too, are a nice nod to the pink trend.

‘Beautiful’

My friend and kic profile Mark D. Sikes has a gorgeous new book, ‘Beautiful’, out today. It’s no surprise that the chapter “bringing the outside in” is my favorite. Congratulations, Mark!

Shirred & Slashed

Two fantastic jackets from J.W. Anderson’s SS17 show. Shirring, and slashed Tudor sleeves—again, it’s all in the details.

Updated Run-Around

Lauren Santo Domingo, snapped at LFW, certainly knows how to update the simple pairing of a sweater (and here) with jeans—it’s all in the details.

Culture Chanel

Chanel ambassador Caroline de Maigret went to Venice for the opening of “The Woman Who Reads” exhibition, part of the Culture Chanel series of shows based on the life of Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel.  Venice is on my list, been way to long.

“The Woman Who Reads” will be held at the Ca’ Pesaro International Gallery of Modern Art from Sept. 17 to Jan. 8.

Tablescape Inspired

Fall Finds

Despite last week’s heat wave, it’s been cool on the morning school run. Here are three items I’ve just picked up in preparation for even colder temps ahead.

The Zara puffer is super lightweight and packs into a small ball, which can be tucked into my bag during the day—the navy with white lining is just the right amount of retro-chic. The Chloé navy silk scarf is surprisingly warm, too. And these short Sorel booties are the answer to my prayers—I hate slogging around in big winter boots all day. I’ll thank myself for buying them come November.

Puffer (I went up a size), scarf, bootie.

In The Wild

Evening Solved

I’m not a big evening wear gal, so when I see a dress that I like, I buy it—regardless of whether I have an upcoming event or not. This dress suits me and would never go out of style. It works with any-and-all accessories and has just enough sleeve.

I’ve had my eye on the Jimmy Choo velvet pumps since July…

Dress, velvet pump, bags, sandal.

The Perfect Uniform

This is how I already love to dress, The Row just does it way better. The SS17 collection is perfection.
