My Suitcase on Lifestyle Mirror

Have you stopped by Lifestyle Mirror yet? You absolutely must. It's a gorgeous instantly shoppable digital magazine founded by Emanuele Della Valle and Francesco Carrozzini, who serves as creative director, and edited by super stylish Chelsea Gombes and Nandita Khanna. 

This week the digital mag featured my suitcase and packing strategy. The fantastic story, shot by my friend Bridget Fleming and edited by Nandita, highlights many of the pieces that I can't live without right now. And the best part is, they are instantly shoppable (that's if you like them of course, wink)!

As for my packing strategy? You might not want to follow it, especially if you are in search of a stress-free life. Lol!

In the cover image I wear a floral combo by J.Crew, Miu Miu shoes, Cos button down and Ek Thongprasert necklace.

Pajama Dressing for Elle China

Photos by Massimo Bianchi

Here are some pics from this month's Elle China's PJ dressing story. The story features street style looks from my "Pajama Time" post as well as these pics of me mixing-n-matching my favorite Prada PJs with other pieces from my closet. It was super fun coming up with all the different combinations, and they really express many of my personal style musts. This look is all about the sportier moments in my life, like a day full of activity that requires for a favorite Gap turtleneck, a can't-live-without Acne sweatshirt and a pair of "I spent my pay check on these" (even after the 50% mark-down) Azzedine Alaïa boots. To see the other looks that I came up with:

 

Sometimes I go for weeks straight where the only thing that I wear is denim: double denim, triple denim, DENIM. So you know I  had to represent my denim addiction with a pair of fun jeans. These are the Gap's "Always Skinny" style. The kitten pumps are by Charlotte Olympia.

I love prints, and I am so inspired by this season's power pairing of them. So I took a shot at the trend and paired my PJ top with my Proenza Schouler skirt. And to add a little sparkle to the already bright situation, I threw on my Miu Miu glitter booties.

 

This is my "aperitivo and Chinese at home with friends" look. Perfect for lounging, drinking tons of good wine and watching movies on the sofa. The kimono is the first vintage piece that I purchased here in Italy, the t-shirt is by J.Crew and my platforms are Lanvin.

From the party to my bed, I couldn't ask for more. Here I wear the full set with the Louboutin Pigalle and a Gucci clutch. Nite, nite.

A very special thanks to Leaf Greener and Pony Ma for inviting me to do the story.

Marianne is sooo cool

Here's another sporty chic look that I went absolutely crazy about this past fashion month. Marianne looks awesome! Every thing screams cool: her perfect flame-red hair; her super star, varsity jacket (love the color combo!); her easy vintage, distressed jeans; and her chic court shoes. Curious about her handbag?

 

Hello Classic PS11. She always has the most amazing bags! Never disappoints. But aren't you also swooning over her wrap-style blouse? Thought I would just throw that in there. So playful of her to layer it under her varsity jacket like that. And her lipstick? Her lipstick is perfect for sending you all good night kisses. Good night! Tamu

icon faded blue, cut and torn... and more

Did you ever think that the cut-off jean (a frayed slither here on Jessica) would ever reach its current position as an iconic symbol of cool? These "denim panties," as Daria Veledeyeva, EIC of Harper's Russia, calls the wardrobe staple of her friend and colleague Natalia Alaverdian, are a product of the grunge era, a Kate Moss favorite, an off-duty model must and a music-festival uniform, are still going super-strong on the streets and have made their way onto the racks of retailers such as J-Crew and Club Monaco. And I'd place a small wager that they will be around for a little while longer. I myself am day dreaming of layering them over oatmeal and grey Wolford tights in the fall. You?

And the more: great inspiration for fall accessories by way of Jessica's vintage bag and boots.
As I get in the mood to hit the stores for a little "back to school" shopping, Jessica's vintage handbag comes as the perfect source of inspiration. I want to show you a bag that I think I'll pick up at Barney's tomorrow (in case you didn't know, my family and I have been in East Hampton since the beginning of the month. My husband says that I should go into the city tomorrow for some shopping, he's had enough of me. Gosh darn it. Being forced into the city for shopping! Who does he think he is?). The bag is by J.W.Hulme, what do you think? If you're interested in checking out some of their other bags, visit J.W.Hulme Co.

But, it's really Jessica's boots that I am drooling over. Yes I used the term drooling. Don't you? I've decided that I am going to O.D. on this style this season. Here are links to my top-three choices: Chloe, Proenza Schouler and A.P.C. Which ones do you like?? I think that they are a chic solution to prevent fashion week-induced achy feet.
