Prada SS23
I just watched the Prada SS23 show and LOVE the collection — the grey + brown = my dream combo. And the leather coat below is stunning.

The Hermès beauty products are phenomenal — I give the lipsticks and nail polishes as hostess gifts. So, I’m eager to try the Plein Air Natural Enhancing Complexion Balms and picked up a few samples in different shades yesterday. Any reviews?
Marfa Stance, a line of multi-functional and seasonless pieces designed to work together, had been on my radar. I was intrigued by the different components and how they can be interchanged to build multiple looks. When I was invited to a pop-up week before last, I jumped at the chance to meet the founder and designer Georgia Dant and see her line. Quilting is Georgia’s signature design element and I love it on the back of this trench. I, also, bought the cashmere hood to attach in the winter and NET-A-PORTER carries Marfa Stance and that’s where I found the perfect matching liner (bottom right).
For years I have been on the hunt for a simple belt that’s not too narrow or the buckle too big. When I spied this one on the Miu Miu runway and posted last March, I knew it would be my dream belt — and it is. Sizes get restocked.
Jenny Walton, the delightful Milan-based American illustrator and fashion collector, is profiled on 1stDibs’ magazine, Introspective. I love that she collects vintage Prada and I have a few pieces she can add to her collection. In the article Ms. Walton is decorating her new apartment in Milan, which is as chic as the woman herself.
I thought I would get out of my office where portraits of Mother and CZ Guest watch over my every sartorial move.
This is the season of events where I need to be ‘dressed’ and the leather jacket by The Slate and Saint Laurent slingbacks will get a lot of wear. The Khaite harness adds a bit of interest to an otherwise staid look. Swap the Bottega skirt for jeans and it becomes one of my current favorite outfits.
When I put up this post I realized that I’m standing just like my daughter in the photo on the bookshelf — apple didn’t fall far from the tree.
Over the summer I tinkered with a number of items. For example, I would never wear the Khaite harness with the long streamers so my brilliant seamstress lopped them off and sewed them down. She, also, gave this Ralph Lauren blazer an overhaul — sleeves shortened and shoulders tightened. Maybe not a great look with white jeans (they never do me any favors), but you get the idea and the Chanel slingbacks are very comfy. The white shirt I ordered at Crimson in Paris week before last was just delivered — love the tonal monogram.
Fashion Brand consultant Débora Brosa’s personal style inspires me to wear shades of cream into fall. I have the black Samabas and they look good with the COS off-white denim skirt — a look I may copy.
Cream/ivory/off-white is perfect for early fall and Khaite’s got you covered. The short sleeve sweater and denim midi skirt are a pairing I love right now.
I’m a diehard skinny, bootcut jeans fan. So, when I started looking for a straight-leg pair this NET-A-PORTER style guide, with Elin Kling and Catherine Holstein weighing in, was tremendously helpful. I bought three pairs — a dark wash by Frame, these by Totême above, and a wider-leg pair by Khaite — I love them all.
