Summer isn’t over yet, at least not in Greenwich.

Two beauties at a garden party in two unforgettable dresses: one by Johanna Ortiz, the other discovered in Portofino. And the accessories deserve their own close-up, from the statement sunglasses and jewelry to two especially fabulous pairs of shoes.

This Lily of the Valley Oscar de la Renta dress is one of a kind. The flowers stand out amid the crisp white material. A perfect summer dress for parties, Polo, and more. The Lauren Rubinski earrings are stunning, so is the Eric Javits hat and Chanel sunglasses.

Shop this etiquette experts fabulous look! She’s always the epitome of class.

A beautiful classic

The fall color combination I can’t stop thinking about: chocolate brown and powder blue. This Fair Isle cardigan stopped me in New Canaan. I linked the exact sweater if available, plus similar styles to get the look.

A beauty from Ralph Lauren, in the hue of portobello.

⚜️What do you wear to a fashion show?

I interviewed four seriously stylish women after the @raulpenaranda and @lonzashoes.official show in New York City. Then I got a surprise at the end when a photographer I didn’t even know grabbed my phone and turned the camera on me.

I wore LONZA to the show, of course. My Claudia heels also appeared on the runway. My @tuckernuck dress has been a wonderful outfit repeater, and it got a last-minute restyling in the bathroom from former model Debbie Dickinson, Janice Dickinson’s sister. She tied it around the front instead of the way I usually wear it in back.

The shoes I wore to the show walked the runway, too. These are the LONZA Claudia shoes, seen at Raúl Peñaranda’s fashion show and linked here.

LONZA carried me all summer, from miles of reporting in Nantucket sneakers and viral videos to sandals in Greenwich and The Hamptons.

Today, we’re going glam in the Claudia heels, and I’m thrilled to be part of their big day with Raul Peñaranda.

A polished alternative to sweats. This striped cotton-cashmere set from Faherty pairs a relaxed sweater with wide-leg pants for an easy, pulled-together look. Wear the pieces together for travel or separately with denim and a crisp white shirt.

The red soles of Greenwich, Connecticut. Greenwich style leans preppy and understated, but even here, women appreciate a subtle flash. Enter the Louboutin red sole.

Louboutins have a reputation for being uncomfortable, but some of the women I met in Greenwich had a very different take. One even told me she walks her dogs in them.

Now for the fashion-history question: What year was the famous red sole created? No Googling. Leave your guess below.

If you love the look of Nantucket baskets but aren’t ready, or interested, in buying one, there are plenty of ways to get the feel.

I’m linking a few finds inspired by the look, from woven necklaces and bags to door knockers, bowls and ceramic pieces.

A few of the hair tools and little tricks I rely on to keep a blowout looking good for as long as possible, from a really good shower cap to brushes, clips, scrunchies and rain protection. I’ve linked the ones I use, or similar options, here.

DEESS AND PURPLE TOTE ARE ALSO TAGGED

This gorgeous two piece is sold out in most sizes except for an XL. I’m going to order and take it to a tailor! I’ve seen it on two people lately and absolutely love it.

⚜️I stopped her for the overall look, but the story behind her basket made it even better. Her Nantucket basket belonged to her husband’s grandmother, and she is still carrying it today.

Paired with a fantastic Oscar de la Renta dress and that beautiful umbrella installation at a Nantucket event, the whole look was impossible to miss.

I love when great style comes with a story.

Pearls never feel out of place on Nantucket Island (or anywhere for that matter.) From classic strands to modern designs, they do capture the island’s understated elegance and enduring connection to the sea.
