This Lucca Couture dress from my new favorite online shop, Fancy French Cologne, is perfect for the unseasonably warm weather in New York right now.
Want want want. Want want. Want. Want want want. Want. This Topshop coat. Want.
This fur vest, courtesy of the Marni show, might just be the apogee of the genre. Seriously: It looks amazing over this skirt/top combo, it would look totally chic with a pair of skinny jeans and ballet flats, it would look regal over a slinky black cocktail dress. It’s absurdly versatile, but not remotely basic.

Warning: Painful Pun Alert.
This Thief and Bandit bracelet is a steal!
Okay, I know, ouch. But really, it’s $22. This being the case, do you forgive me?
There are a lot of words that come to mind when I think about Jil Sander: Strong, clean, magnificent. This season, the collection was all of those things, but there was an aura of fairy-dust sprinkled over it all that made a totally different adjective rise to the top of my mental list: Enchanting.

A while ago I promised I’d share some of the housewares vendors that I’ve found on Etsy. So, here are some of the results of my site combing:
I’m very taken with Junglai’s inventive shelving units. Actually, taken is putting it lightly: If I’m honest, I spend a excessive amounts of time staring fixedly at the wall of my dining room imagining the shelves positioned on it.
ElemenOPillows makes cushions as witty and cheerful as their name suggests they would. I’m hoping these yellow ones will come and sit on my couch soon. Our living room is very sunny, and the warm light on the goldenrod stripes will make the place even brighter than it already is.
Empire waists and oversized beading at Prada. Amusing and sophisticated all at the same time.

Always in Style #8: The Dowager Countess of Grantham
Lady Grantham is my favorite television character of all time. That’s all.

Possibly my favorite show of NYFW was Calvin Klein. Francisco Costa took fifties silhouettes and transformed them into something fiercely modern, lightly exaggerating the lines but keeping them clean, and limiting the color and pattern in the show to a few strong, simple choices. The fabrics were visibly luxe, but also extremely simple. Less jagged than traditional New Look pieces, this softened, updated version is to me no less elegant—in fact, it’s less girlish and more womanly. Don’t the clothes feel like something Diane would wear on The Good Wife? You know, to go gracefully steamroll an incompetent opposing lawyer in court.
