NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE PREVIEW

My fashion picks include one of my favorite Max Mara insulated jackets I’d want for travel. The fabric lends itself to day or night activities and the color is beautiful. I also love Max Mara’s classic double face wool wrap coat (not pictured) which is $1,100 and will go up to $1650 after the sale. The Frame jeans I’ve been wearing non-stop the last few months are part of the sale and I may get another in the dark wash…they’re that great! My sneaker wardrobe needs a refresh and a retro inspired style will do the trick. Love these from Vince in black or cream. I have the Vince crew in camel and it’s a go-to for silhouette, neckline and weight. I would get tons of wear from one in black or white. Out of all the stripe sweaters I have in my closet, none are sleeveless. The Rag & Bone top is an easy addition to layer under jackets. And a classic poplin shirt dress from Lafayette round out my picks.

IN MY CARRY-ON TOTE

#LTKTravel

THE KEY TO CARRY-ON TRAVEL

An Instagram post of my carry-on bag and tote generated lots of interest and questions. I listed all of the items I packed and mentioned how the perfect tote bag was the key piece to make carry-on travel feasible. Aside from being generously sized, a carry-on tote must have a zipper to close (extra points if it’s a double zipper), have a roomy interior with pockets plus additional exterior pockets, and a sleeve to slip over the handle of a carry-on roller suitcase. This tote has those features, plus it’s waterproof – handy if someone in front of you spills something on the ground in flight and your bag is sitting on the moisture for hours.

The perfect tote is the large Baseline Tote by Briggs and Riley. You can read about the numerous features on the sites that sell it, but just know, it’s sturdy and well-made. I wouldn’t be able to go carry-on without it.

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.

I’m adding these three pieces to capsule travel collection. The High Sport pants seem to be on every travel aficionado’s packing list. It’s about time I give them a try. Alternatives at lower price points are readily available but I want to see what all the fuss is about with High Sport. Will report back. I already have the Moncler Wete jacket in navy. It’s a fantastic, versatile piece. A black one would take me even farther and even top an elegant look for evening. A win win for me. A pair of flats to slip on after a day of walking in sneakers is always welcome. The silhouette on this style from Ayede is a bit more sleek and chic than a rounded toe ballerina. I’d wear them to dinner, short jaunts around town, and down to breakfast when I want to slip on something quickly.

TRAVEL WITH A LIMITED PALETTE

I stuck to my packing rule of a limited palette for a recent trip to New York. Black, white, and beige pieces are completely interchangeable and create a pulled together, classic look. For a one week run around the city, I brought a favorite tan blazer, black and blue high waisted jeans, a white tee, black thin knit top, two blouses, a black cropped jacket, a black short coat, tan pants and three pair of shoes – sneakers, sandals, and boots…in a carry on of course.
