My Misc things….

1. Tappan is running a one time only 20% off sale on their entire site. They have some beautiful artwork.
2. The new season of The Gentleman is so good!
3. Alex Mill tote bags are a big IT item for the holiday season! If you are planning on ordering, I would do it sooner then later because lead-times for personalization have gone up.
4. I went to Bad Roman for the first time last night, and it was packed for a Monday! While the food was a bit underwhelming, the lively atmosphere, great service, beautiful presentation, fun cocktails, and desserts more than made up for it. The standouts were the Eggplant Pull-A Parm and Spicy Lobster Pasta. The desserts were quite good, too. Definitely a fun spot for a night out!

While I’m holed up at home recovering from hamstring surgery, I’ve been spending way too much time scrolling the web, dreaming about all the fun fall fashion I’ll wear once I’m healed. For now, I’m alternating between one Aviator set and the next. I did buy several new sets because I might as well be cozy and cute while lounging on the couch. These pants (size up!) and tops are seriously the softest!

A few standout trends I’m loving this season are leopard jackets paired with red pants (these, these, and these). Fur-trim coats are also having a major moment, and Rixo (1st pic), Stand Studio, and Isabel Marant all have great versions. For a look for less, I love this one from Mango.

Also on my list is this Ulla Johnson denim skirt (look for less here). I’m equally into the idea of a leather or faux leather pencil skirt paired with a chic button-down. Such an easy, polished look that feels fresh again.

A couple of other things from the week. I am so grateful to Shutterfly. I spent an hour on the phone with them this week, and they generously replaced all the photo books I lost in the fires. If you’ve lost yours too and haven’t reached out, please let me know. I’m happy to share the appropriate contact.

I also tried Nudes, the new Mediterranean frozen yogurt spot on 3rd Street with a line around the corner. It’s good, but I’m still partial to Myka. Their yogurt and toppings are hard to beat!

I’ve also been doing a lot of home shopping. This week was all about rugs, and West Elm has some really great, affordable options, especially when you have a dog!

For now, I’ll just keep adding to my wish list until I’m back on my feet!

I’m still reeling from last night’s movie, You Can See Everything, a three hour documentary following Elizabeth Holmes and her partner, Billy Evans, during the 34 days leading up to her prison sentence. I definitely have my opinions on this story, but there are so many layers to it that it’s absolutely riveting. If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend it!

For the next week or two, I’ll most likely be living in my new Free City and Aviator Nation sweats as I recover from hamstring surgery. That still hasn’t stopped me from shopping for my fall wardrobe, here’s what’s currently in my shopping cart.

1. La Ligne Sweater, $350 First picture, I sized up to medium for an oversized fit. The color is stunning, it’s a coral red.
2. Mother Petite Lil Kick It Jean, $288 I sized up in the petite. Regular size here.
3. ME+EM Leopard Fit + Flare Dress, $495 This is such a flattering silhouette, I got the size 4. I will wear this with my Loeffler Randall high boots.
4. ME+EM Straight Crop Corduroy Pant, $425 I love the fit of these, I got the size 4.
5. Tony Bianco Heeled Ballet Flat, $170 I ordered these for both of my girls, they run a 1/2 size big.
6. Tony Bianco Sky/Vino Ballet Flat, $155 These are a Chanel look for less, they have the same exact color way this season.

My daughter is home for fall break, so we started our day at the Brentwood Country Mart for a little shopping. It was my first time visiting the new Sézane store, they did a beautiful job with the space. It has a warm, cozy boutique feel with herringbone floors, beautiful wood displays, and burgundy accents. This gorgeous shawl collar coat (a Toteme look for less) came home with me!

Next, we headed to DÔEN, where we could have easily bought the entire store. Their fall collection is gorgeous, and I’m especially loving the combination of blue and burgundy, like this cami pictured below. It reminds me of the Christian Louboutin hotel we stayed at in Melides, with its exterior painted in the most beautiful shades of blue and burgundy.

I originally went in to try on the lace Henri top, but it hasn’t arrived in stores yet. Instead, I tried on the Idella top, which is the perfect going out top, along with the Zelie top, which my daughter ended up getting. This rich chocolate lace dress and fringe plaid skirt are also beautiful additions to a fall wardrobe.

On our way out, we made one last stop at Hudson Grace. These Bon Appétit plates are so cute, and my favorite Sabre Bistro silverware is on sale!

This weekend I got a break from the sweltering heat and headed to the Midwest to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. We had the most beautiful fall weather. The air was crisp and the leaves were just starting to change colors.

The first thing I packed was my favorite Quince jacket (above), which I’ve been wearing for the past three seasons. It’s so soft and cozy, and the price is right. I also packed a White + Warren cashmere sweater (check out their Friends & Family sale here). They make some of the best cashmere sweaters. I’ve also been eyeing this Sold Out NYC cashmere sweater. It looks like the perfect oversized fit. Also in my carry-on were my comfortable AMO jeans (great for petites), Nili Lotan red pants, Salomon sneakers, and Buck Mason chambray shirt.

My daughter and I spent some time walking around Madison, and she was stopped several times by people asking where her sunny yellow monogrammed tote bag was from (below).

Also on my radar this week is the Reformation x Alexa Chung collaboration. It’s a 30 piece collection of vintage inspired partywear (check it out here).

Lastly, the big round buckle belt has been everywhere at Paris Fashion Week. I found this great version from Madewell that gives you a similar designer look for less.

5. Nili Lotan Wayne Belt, $650 Big buckle belts are huge right now.
6. Ilia Thru Waterproof Eyeliner, $26 Perfect waterline eyeliner.
7. Tony Bianco Maddi Heeled Maryjane, $170 I spent some time in the Tony Bianco store in NYC, they have so many great flats. I also like these Miu Miu and Chanel look for less Mary Janes.
