On my Mind
I’ve been ruminating on my personal style; this is when I turn to women whose style I admire. American-born Parisienne Charlotte Husson is front and center on my inspiration board. I love how she dresses, mostly in her own line, Mister K. Ms. Husson possesses the ever elusive je ne said quoi of style. And, she has a sensational smile!
My style re-evaluation was sparked by my fatigue with the stealth-wealth/quiet-luxury aka absurdly expensive minimalism trend. I don’t want my clothes to say ‘I’m rich’, I want them to reflect my personal style — a personal style I’m tweaking.

Last week I rode in Frame jeans that have a lot of stretch. I took pairs that haven’t seen the light of day in quite a while. Dark denim is a struggle for me to style, therefore, a dude ranch was the perfect setting to wear them. While packing, I grabbed a navy crewneck sweater that my daughter wore in middle school. And, voila! That was the answer to my dark denim dilemma. This Arch4 cashmere henley would be a significant upgrade to the one I wore…

Quite simply, I am completely taken with these The Row pumps. The color, almond toe (I keep gravitating toward an almond toe shape), ankle strap, and stacked heel all speak to me. Available here and here.
On My Mind
My daughters and I are at the CM Ranch in Dubois, Wyoming. The girls are the fourth generation — on the Wasson side of the family — to visit the ranch. Aside from my boots, I challenged myself to not pack any black clothing. I bought the Ganni boots in black because I knew I’d wear them long after this trip. To my surprise, I have not been laughed out of Dubois for wearing Danish cowboy boots and even received a compliment from the local boot seller. I dug out a few pairs of Frame skinny jeans with a good deal of stretch and they are incredibly comfortable — even on all-day rides. Weather permitting, we are heading up to Wasson Creek tomorrow, and home Saturday. Hope everyone is enjoying summer!

At lunch with a friend last week, the waitress remarked that she loved my sunglasses. Weirdly, I get complimented on this Saint Laurent pair a lot. Her comment made me wonder if I should get a second pair, a backup pair just in case. I’ve been working very hard to break my doubles habit, but may make an exception with these…

I love each of these items individually. If they look good together, the outfit would be lovely. The Row skirt, Cortana halterneck top, Manolo Blahnik sandals.
To Read
I popped into the Locust Valley Bookstore to pick up a novel for my flight to Wyoming tomorrow. Above are the shop’s picks and a number of them are reviewed at @locustvallybookstore. Thank you, LCS!

A chunky Lie Studio rolling ring and an Aurélie Bidermann rope cuff are easy summer statement pieces that don’t break the bank.

A blouse and knee-length skirt paired with tall boots is my favorite fall outfit and this Khaite PF23 look ticks all the boxes. Nice to see Liya, too.

I’ve been eyeing pumps by The Row — three seasons of pumps, actually. Do I want the Spring pumps with an elongated almond toe and warped kitten heel? The Pre-Fall flats? Or, wait for the Resort pumps with a block heel. I’m leaning toward the latter.
Spring pumps black, espresso, light brown. Pre-Fall flats in black and chocolate.
