Good morning, Thursday. Happiest of Halloween to you all out there. I hope you enjoy your spooky day. Today is a special one here at our house- it's the day we got our little Khan baby three years ago, from the Humane Society in Miami where our little guy jumped in our arms and we all never looked back. Needless to say, the love he has brought to our lives is a gift. David took a redeye straight to the office and Khan and I are laying in bed, snuggled up and watching the early news. I'm so very grateful for having him, and having the ability to give him the nice life and home he deserves. Bless that little man.
Now on to fashion. I'm having mixed feelings lately. And by that, I don't mean I'm conflicted about Alexander Wang at Balenciaga or wondering why Kim Kardashian has to be so vulgar all the time. I'm having mixed feelings because I'm loving a mixed media approach to dressing for the Fall- leather panel leggings have been around a few seasons now, but nobody does them better than DKNY, in either a thick ponte knit or a jersey. It's a great way to do leather but not feel too over the top.
I'm also absolutely in love with Emerson Fry these days- digging on these mixed material boots, some sort of python situation mixed in with leather. I love the shape of them- the wider calf makes for some divine skinny jean moments- it's a super flattering silhouette.
And then of course is Claire Vivier, whose dark color blocking on her simple tote is simply all that. I'd love to pop some gold initials on there (love her custom monograms) and this would be the absolute perfect bag for Fall/Winter travels to and fro. Needs it.
Oh and if you're feeling super spendalicious, this Burberry patent sleeved trench is spy sexy. I love it. But the good news is I've been seeing variations on a leather sleeve in all the stores and at all price points. This one's just sort of amazing and had to share it with you.
And of course, I'm not ever mad at a leopard print mixed with leather and a zipper. This 3.1 Phillip Lim panel dress is gutsy and sexy, but pair it with a tux jacket and you've got a great look. Fabulous.
Yup this stuff all skews dark. But it's Halloween and basic black feels super right to me today, and well, most days really. Basic black with a bit of a mash up is the way to go for all of your cold weather staples. I'm looking forward to mixing it up this Fall/Winter- hope your day is full of tricks and treats. I remain snuggled with Khan until the sun officially comes up. Cause that's what's up this two materials are better than one kind of Thursday in the best city in the world. Yours, in fashion. XO
