Updating my winter wardrobe with a few new pieces from Saks Fifth Avenue. Starting with a taupe peacoat from Toteme. I love the unstructured silhouette. It will look great with white jeans and a stripe sweater come spring. And a new ballet flat from Vince is so comfortable, I’ll be getting it in ivory too. Everything I’m wearing is from Saks Fifth Avenue where I’ve curated a closet full of luxury basics to count on time after time. Shop more below. #Saks #SaksPartner @Saks

This is the second in an ongoing series of favorite things. I post a lot on styling ideas and fabulous products so I think it’s also good to see what actually ends up in my closet and what I wear on repeat. In this image, I’m wearing three pieces that have been part of my grab and go daily style lately. I wrote about the Bottega Veneta Andiamo bag previously and can’t speak highly enough on the quality, comfort, and versatility. This may be one of the few bags I’ll repeat in another color. The burgundy is calling my name. As far as ease, the one and done Brochu Walker Looker sweater makes me feel dressed and pulled together without a thought. I toss it on over faded or dark jeans, black pants and slim skirts. The cream and white looks fresh this time of year too. For jewelry, one bold piece is clean, modern and fuss free. Again, the ease of slipping on a cuff trumps fastening bracelets or necklaces. The Sidney Garber cuff is a timeless piece I’ll treasure forever.

END OF AUGUST

A hiking trip to Montana got derailed due to my partially torn hamstring flaring up. Instead of cancelling though, we pivoted and spent the week on a more relaxed note – biking, boating, fly fishing and enjoying quality time with good friends. It was a perfect get away to wind down summer.

Dries van Noten has been back on my radar lately. The fall collection has some great pieces that would layer nicely into my wardrobe. The belted denim jacket above is a chic update to the relaxed original. The matching skirt is a great piece too. Mytheresa has the best prices on DVN, often significantly less than other sites.

I wear sandals well into October in California as long as they’re not too summery. A friend was sporting these Jimmy Choo’s the other day and they looked so good. A dressier, buy equally comfortable, option to Birkenstocks. They also come in cream.

PACKING FOR BEACH GETAWAYS

The relaxed vibe I love to create for a beach getaway is anchored in four simple pieces – a loose caftan style dress, flat slip on sandals, a beach to town tote and a stylish straw hat. Add some great detailing to these pieces - like embroidery on the Silvia Tcherassi Tunic Dress or the beaded trim on this Maison Michel hat - and you’ve got a look that’s chic, effortless and cool.

TOP TEN AT HOME OR AWAY

This week’s Top Ten is inspired partially by what I observed on a recent visit to Copenhagen.

The outfits that carried the most cache for me were ones that looked effortlessly pulled together in a classic but unexpected way. The formula was based on pairing a tailored piece (trouser, pencil skirt) with a simple tank or tee, then anchored with walking friendly casual flats. There’s a practicality element in how to dress when navigating cobblestone streets. That’s where the sturdy shoes come in, but a low heeled sandal could dress up these looks in a breeze. Pearls tossed on without care added an interesting contrast. The overall look was polished but undone.

Add these pieces to your summer packing list. They’re classics to wear at home or away.

My favorite shoe to gain a little height is a heeled loafer. I wear them frequently with jeans and trousers. The Bottega Veneta Monsieur in black and The Row soft loafer in brown are both supremely comfortable. But for something a little dressier, a pump projects a more refined style. I’m eyeing Gabriela Hearts’s sculptural GORGEOUS Sofia pump and The Row’s equally fabulous glossed low heel pump as contenders. Both are under 3″ which is my max. Jeans, trousers, dresses or skirts all work beautifully here.

Gabriela Hearst Sofia pump in black, cream, or brown suede. The Row pump in black or taupe. Nili Lotan jeans. Patou skirt.

SCARVES ARE ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA

The weather has finally allowed me to venture into my scarf drawer. I love wearing scarves and treasure the collection I’ve accumulated over the years – many acquired while traveling. I think they’re also a great item to gift. From soft silk squares to fringed cashemere, there’s a style for every person and need. A few of my favorite silk squares are the solid Margault from The Row (wearing in gray) and the graphic patterns from Toteme. Both have an excellent hand and tie well. When I want something larger and warmer, but not bulky, I’ll turn to one in cashmere/silk. These have a number of versatile styling options. The polka dot or paisley prints from Saint Laurent are long standing classics. I also love a heavier knit scarf for truly cold days – a rarity in California but useful on occasion. The alpaca boucle from Loewe is quite chic.

The holiday gatherings I’m going to don’t require anything too dressed up but I like to put in the effort to look festive. My preferred mode is by adding just one piece with sparkle or shine. A metallic or beaded skirt with a simple sweater is the easiest way to go. Or contrast the shimmer with a cotton poplin (look at TWP for inspiration). Another option is to use shine on the upper portion of an outfit. This works especially well for dinners or seated events. I’d love the ivory silk satin peplum jacket with a slim pencil skirt, trousers or even a pair of jeans. It’s a fabulous piece. Earrings or a brooch are another easy way to up the wow factor. This is an opportunity to play with something bold and unique. Scour antique markets or 1st Dibs for amazing vintage finds. A beautiful bag is another finishing touch not to be overlooked. I adore Saint Laurent’s quilted velvet Loulou bag and local designer Marian Paquette makes beautiful velvet bags in a wonderful array of colors. I have several and wear them often (good for travel too since they pack flat). For a splurge, Bottega Veneta’s sequin pouch is gorgeous in red, green or gold. But for the all time deal, look at the similar options from Mango. They’re quite lovely and won’t break the bank.

Red – the color of the season will continue through 2024 as the color for spring. I’m up for it, in small doses. A pair of socks is easy to test the waters or for those who don’t like the bold power of bright red. For me, I love it framing the face. A scarf, beanie, or sweater are my top picks. At the very least, a swipe of crimson on the lips is always chic. Cle de Peau lipstick and Westman Atelier lip compact have a beautiful finish with staying power. I use both.
