Pale Pink is the New Mint
I know everyone keeps talking up white (and judging from New York Fashion Week, that isn’t likely to change for Spring), but I’m more interested in the powder puff pink that’s stepping out this season. As predicted on the runways in January, pale pink coats, sweaters, trousers, and loafers are evidence that this Fall everyone’s […]
You’re a Few Stripes Short of a Plaid, Windowpane
Windowpane print, what are you? Everywhere. You’re everywhere. Spring’s trend transitions into Fall with thick sweaters, chic trousers, and more. Go for dark, rich colors like navy, hunter green, and red. (PS–This is actually a great way to try the navy and black trend).

On Color: Are there any rules anymore?
There was apparently a time when black and brown couldn’t be worn together, but that’s ancient history. The past two years, red and pink were everywhere together, longtime feuding members of the same color family that were blissfully united. And people have been breaking the “no white after labor day” rule for a while, […]
Knee-high Sheath Boots: Or, Chaps
Coincidence? Ok, it’s a stretch. But when I first started seeing knee-high sheath boots about a year ago, I was for some reason immediately struck by images of horses. Recently, with the Fall approaching, I’ve seen them pop up again. I scoured the Internet because I was certain that I had, in fact, seen something similar on a horse […]
Birthday Month means rationalizing everything I buy.
In grad school, I started this not-uncommon annual tradition of rationalizing a purchase by classifying it as a birthday present to myself. Tons of people do this. But I tried to rationalize it even more (I shop a lot, guys), by focusing on an item I knew I’d have for a long time. Four birthdays […]
Zara outerwear makes me wish LA would get cold.
I miss cold weather only because I miss all the coats I could be stocking up on right now. With a good coat and a great pair of boots, it doesn’t even really matter (too much) what you have on underneath. It could be a Hanes tee and jeans, but your flawless wool coat, statement […]
Open-Toe Booties are Like the Vests of Feet
This fall is being dominated by two types of shoes–the smoking slipper and the cutout/open-toe boots. Let me start by saying I like both of them. If something looks good, it looks good–I won’t question the function of it, because really, it’s fashion and at a certain point its function is solely to make you […]
Paradise Lost: New Zoe Karssen and Everlane
This week is good for two reasons. I’m sure if you’re going back to school, that isn’t one of them, but at least you have Fall, my favorite of the seasons, to look forward to. Fall itself brings two pieces of goodness, the first being Halloween, and the second being sweaters. Actually, in order of […]
