the new look: coordinates.
when i was a teenager, i would go shopping with my mom and she would dress my brother in garanimals, clothing that was built on the idea of matching sets. it's something that i rediscovered when i was shopping for my first office job, and you had to wear suits (yes, i did wear coordinates from macy's that were 2 or 3 for $99). it's an idea that seemingly died out, at least as far as i was concerned, until the past few years when matching sets have become de riguer. so in the interest of what goes around comes back around, i've pulled out this early aughts colorblock calvin klein silk jersey set that looks like a dress. and while i've enjoyed wearing the pieces separately, it's never as good as when they're together.
calvin klein collection top and skirt (check out some other coordinating sets below), alexander wang pumps, céline clutch (similar here and here), forever 21 hoops, jewelmint (similar), céline (similar), eddie borgo and hermés bracelets; dannijo and gorjana rings

the vanity fair international best-dressed list.
a month ago, i started entering photos in the vanity fair international best-dressed challenge, and it was a nice surprise to find that one of my looks was tapped as an editor's pick for the week of may 15th. i've been reading the best-dressed issue for as long as i can remember, not only to see who is chosen, but also to check out the features on the most influential names in fashion. i love that now the list includes fashion professionals and originals as well as couples and siblings. some of my favorite style icons are pictured here, and it's a honor to have amy fine collins and reinaldo herrera, the two main keepers of the list, choose me as an editor's pick. i'd love if you could vote for me (click on the heart of your favorite looks) so i can possibly earn a spot in the september print issue—i'm continually adding new looks to my profile so please keep checking back.
if you're in the u.s., have a wonderful long weekend!

the new look: into the pale.
when it warms up, it just feels natural to gravitate towards lighter colors. so last week when the temperatures rose, i reached for this henley tunic dress from zara in the palest of peaches. it was also a no-brainer to pair it with a similarly pale bag and...those valentino flats again.
hope you're having a great week!

the new look: pledge your allegiance.
last year when lpd first came out with the designer tees, there were only a few (philo, tisci, margiela), but i was holding out for a nicolas ghesquière one, even though he hadn't been working for almost a year. i had followed fashion before he came onto the scene, but there was something about how he worked at balenciaga—mixing the old with the new, the street with the couture—that was truly inspiring. i was finally able to get one from net-a-porter right before fashion week in september, where the tee made it's debut at the tibi show (and coincidentally when i met designer ben fainlight). it's a cool way to show your allegiance to your favorite designer—lots more have been added, including "olsen."
acne studios leather jacket, lpd new york t-shirt, asos skirt (old, see some more black and white colorblock skirts i'm loving below), vince pumps (now 33%; also in white, mushroom and taupe), céline clutch, honestly wtf x bauble bar necklace, jewelmint (similar), eddie borgo, céline (similar), and hermés bracelets, linda farrow x alexander wang sunglasses, bauble bar c/o and noir rings
