‘Shades Of Time’

These Steven Meisel pictures are from an extensive story in the July issue of Vogue Italia—the first issue under editor in chief Emanuele Farneti. The casting is terrific.

Milanese Chic

I’ve yet to be bitten by the jumpsuit bug, but Milan-based architect Barbara Ghidoni of the firm Storage Associati looks pretty fab in this one. Her tank watch and single bangle are chic, too.

Jacket Crush

This navy, wool-felt, duffel-esque Prada jacket is so adorable, I put together a look just so I could post on it—shameless, I’m aware. And did I mention that the hood is detachable? I’m smitten.

Prada Jacket, Brock Collection jeans, Mizuki pearl and diamond earrings, Balenciaga ankle boots.

The Perry Pump

I posted on these Chloé Perry pumps just moments after I saw them on the runway last March. The ankle strap and brogue detail are like a siren song to me. Not sure if I’ll go with a t-strap, or which color, but I do know that a pair is on my fall wish list.

Beige t-strap and here, brown t-strap, grey t-strap, burgundy ankle strap.

Lovely Valentino

These Valentino Haute Couture gowns are simply breathtaking— bravo Pierpaolo Piccioli.

Cut Short

With all the mid-calf and ankle-grazing silhouettes these days, the mini looks fresh to my eye. A few inches above the knee is good. Love these Pamela Hanson pictures in the August issue of Harper’s Bazaar Australia.

Mary Watson’s Favorite White Jeans

I’m on the hunt for new white jeans and asked a few of my uber stylish friends to weigh in with their favorites. Fourth up Midwest-based mom of three boys, Mary Watson:

“These RL white jeans are my favorites for this holiday. I prefer boy/straight cut or men’s—the same with my raw APC’s, they suit me. I am in love with white selvedge—RL, The Row, and Levi’s 501 made in USA are the best!

I collect flags and just got a Kate Schelter watercolor of one this week”. Mary

Happy 4th of July!

Denim Days

Lots of great jeans styles on the haute couture fall-winter 2017-2018 show attendees in Paris. Photographer Sandra Semburg has the best eye for street style trends.

“A 70s Summer In the Hamptons”

In the summer of 1972, artist Jonas Mekas was hired by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis to teach her children photography and filmmaking. The resulting pictures, taken at the Warhol estate in Montauk, N.Y., which Lee Radziwill rented for the season, captured “languid summer days in the Hamptons.” An exhibition of Mr. Merkas’ photographs from this period just opened at the Boo-Hooray Summer Rental Gallery in Montauk.

An Easy Dress

I was looking at my Instagram feed and realized that I’ve been wearing black cotton dresses to a bunch of events recently—they are just so easy. The one above is great, but may be a tad too short.  Only one way to find out.
