Chanel Métiers d’Art Collection Shoes

It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of Chanel shoes. These are from the Métiers d’Art collection and the top pair are exactly what I’ve been looking for — a proper day shoe that I’d wear forever.

Easy Evening

I’ve had my eye on this Proenza Schouler halter dress since I spied it in the PF21 collection images — the crepe and bouclé-tweed combo speak to me. When I love an evening piece, I buy it — evening wear rarely goes out of style. And the dress is on sale, no less. I’ll wear it with these Jennifer Behr crystal earrings and my Manolo Blahnik Turgimod T-bar pumps.

Summer 2022 Collection

Celine Baie des Anges

The Celine Summer 2022 collection film, shot in Nice, France, is packed with covetable clothes and accessories — this is my favorite Celine collection by Hedi Slimane, yet. And, the shoulder-length hair is perfection.

Dark Denim Skirt Suit

This Wales Bonner dark denim skirt suit is very smart. Love the Safari-style jacket and top stitching on the skirt hem — super chic and on sale.

Get Cozy

My mother was an ardent hostess and entertained frequently. She loved wooden plates and platters, especially for winter gatherings. I’ve taken a page out of her book and started my own collection. A pine scented candle, hand-printed tablecloth, rattan breakfast tray, and snuggly boots make the short, cold days cozier.

On My Mind

Welcome to the Holiday Season!

With today being the first day of Hanukkah and the first Sunday of Advent, many folks begin their holiday festivities. Here’s to celebrating with gusto! xp

A Chanel Christmas

I’ve given up on trying to master a whole Thanksgiving turkey (yesterday’s was particularly awful) and moved on to planning Christmas. If I had my druthers, I’d ask Santa for something spectacular from Chanel. The coat topped my fall wish list, but my size sold out immediately. That’s okay, these suede & grosgrain flats are divine and the Bouton de Camélia earrings definitely tick the spectacular box.

Manolo Blahnik Ballerimu

After I posted on Alissa Zachary’s line High Sport, a few folks asked about the Manolo Blahnik Ballerimu mules. Thanks, Alissa.

Food

Pumpkin Milk Bar Pie

We love Milk Bar Pie aka Crack Pie, so I ordered the pumpkin version for Thanksgiving. Apple Cider Donut Cake sounds pretty good, too. You can still place an order today.

Silver Mine

Earlier this week, at an author reading, I spied a woman wearing a spectacular pair of silver sandals. It’s chilly in NYC so she wore them with tights — I was mesmerized. I hadn’t twigged the metallic trend and I rarely go for silver, but at that moment, it looked so right. A pair of silver Belgian Shoes are on their way to me. They could be perfect with trim, cropped black trousers and a black sweater when entertaining at home.
