On My Mind

Easy Peasy

At a Maria McManus trunk show last week, I found the skirt. Softly pleated with an elastic waist and pockets — it’s the easiest piece. The Bally pumps in my last post are so comfortable (and now on sale), that I bought a similar pair in cream. Grey + cream = one of my favorite color combos. Last trip to Paris I picked up a Biologique Recherche concealer and it is the perfect amount of coverage for the occasional spot.

Luna Luna was fun, especially with good friends. I am wearing Frame jeans, not the High Sport pants.

  • Thank you for the tip one both the skirt and Bally pumps. I love all the BR products I’ve tried. Just can’t miss. May I ask how the sizing ran with the Bally pumps? I’d also love to know which Frame jeans you’re wearing. They’re my favorite for sure. Wishing you a terrific Thanksgiving!

  • Why did you decide against the High Sport pants?

  • They were at the tailor being shortened.

  • Yes to all of this! I categorize Bally with Loro Piana – quiet and sensible, handsome silhouettes, beautiful craftsmanship. A few months ago, I found a fine new facialist who uses Biologique exclusively. I’m a convert!

  • Hi Preston The jeans are crazy on sale right now so I grabbed them!
    Please tell me what belt you recommend ? I love stretch denim as opposed to rigid ( now that I’ve tried both and had some fails and wins) but sometimes keeping them up is the issue . I’d love to invest in a great belt . Please advise ! Thank you ….. Jo
