Good morning, Thursday. It's been a tough, tough time of late in the universe and I've struggled to make sense of all the terrible things that have been happening. I have to believe we will find our way back to peace and safety. I pray that's true.
On a lighter note, I had the pleasure of doing a nice Sunday brunch this weekend with some old pals, and then walked to Soho with one of those said pals and checked out Kit and Ace, the tech/cashmere outfitter founded by Mrs. Lululemon (she's married to the founder).
I've gotten caught up in the whole athleisure movement and really do love my jogger jeans/pants/leggings and any number of cool sweatshirts and luxe tees. And as someone who makes a living as a producer, I think Kit + Ace may be the perfect wardrobe for girls (and boys) on the go. I loved so many of the pieces- they feel absolutely amazing (cashmere darlings) and are chic enough to tread that work/life balance thing we all seek. I can see packing a whole suitcase full of this stuff with a couple of pairs of great shoes and a good blazer and being ready to go. Sure these pieces are great for more fit people, but there's plenty of pieces that would flatter all sizes and I love the tech vibe of a lot of these looks.
Here are some of my favorite pieces- they're all so easygoing and chic. I think that creme wrap jacket may be my favorite- and I saw a girl trying on those trousers and she looked beyond fabulous in them. They also make some great foundation pieces- nice little bras and underwear that are soft beyond comprehension. I'm showing you a lot of black, naturally, but they do cool neutrals as well if you are not as dabbled in the dark arts like myself. And the men's tees are absolutely hug worthy. Love them. This is smart design for busy people- sure the pieces are not inexpensive, but I can't help but think that those of us who grew up on the Gap and Banana Republic will find this great basic brand next level. I'm a fan- I have not tried anything on, but it's on my list. I really like the idea of tech minded clothing being super soft- it's a nice balance. And who doesn't need some of that right now?
Cause that's what's up this loving on the basics kind of Thursday in the anything but basic 212. Yours, in kits and aces. XO
