It’s that time of the season, when all the clothes seem old and done and nothing seems special anymore. Suddenly the coming season starts to look more enticing. The problem is only exacerbated by the fact that I love fall/winter layering and particularly the fabrics. Wool, tweed, corduroy, cable knit.

Here’s a flat from Steve Madden, named “Pavement”, and priced at $70 (less 30% at the moment):
And here is “Candbury” by Chloé, originally 465 of the US dollars but down to $232.50 at Net-a-Porter:
I like this sort of thing because it’s very easy to take a Fred Mertz view of the runways: that high fashion [...]
Just make a flipping skirt, ok? Is that so hard?
Imagine this: it’s summer, so you’re carrying a cute fabric tote to work. You set it on the apparently dry countertop while you wash your hands in the bathroom, but when you pick it up, there’s a huge wet splotch on the side. No harm done, but it’s going to be awkward carrying it back [...]

A big d’oh moment this morning. I forgot to do laundry last night, and so I had no tights again today. With it as wet and sloppy as it is outside there was no thought of jeans; one of my great pet peeves is soaking trouser cuffs. So another day of the ever-classy knee highs [...]
I have a severe case of Courtly Fashion Love for seersucker. I can’t remember ever owning anything made of it, and most times I see it in person it’s incorporated into something depressingly ugly. And yet I can’t let it go: an airy, feminine seersucker skirt would be just too perfect an intersection of material, [...]
From the New York Times, a short article on Oscar fashion.
