Sunday Snack: Leopard Sneakers, Perfect Boots, An Excellent Party Shirt, Philo-Esque Outerwear, etc.
Little morsels from around the internet.
Ok! Sorry this is coming on a Sunday, sometimes I get ahead in my writing, sometimes I’m behind and fall asleep in my daughter’s bed at 8:30 and don’t finish writing. So here we are today.
A SIZE INCLUSIVE PARTY DRESS
Another one! This time via La Ligne. It’s silk, has the prettiest cap sleeves, and one detail I really love is that the smocking goes all around the torso. I really don’t love a dress with smocking only in the back, so this one is v good. It looks pleasantly swishy, and would easily take you through a quarter of your holiday parties. La Ligne, $350 (sizes US XS - 3XL)
A PHOEBE-ESQUE MEN’S COAT
While I wait for the one thing I did order from Phoebe Philo, I’m dreaming about the things I didn’t and wish I could have. One is the excellent oversized white shirt, and the other is the men’s style tailored coat. Is this even remotely the same thing? As thrilling or as fine? No. But! Bought oversized, it might scratch the itch for a crisp men’s jacket, without requiring you to sell an organ or take out a second mortgage. Size up. Mango, $240 (men’s US sizes S - XXL)
A VERY BRIEF BLACK BOOT EDIT
Black boots! We all wear them. Here are 4 I really like right now.
a) Classic tall with a tiny heel. Very bitchy in Scandi-Snob way. Reformation, $501
b) A little higher heel, shorter shaft (lol, shaft), and I love how fitted the shaft (🤭) is. Emme Parsons, $795
c) I looooove these - this is my kind of boot. Clean, crisp combat boot with very tidy little laces. I love them. Legres, $895
d) A very chic little beatnik boot. Pointy toe, low heel, super sleek and classic. You can’t go wrong with these. Jamie Haller, $695
ONE HELL OF A GORGEOUS RUG
Right?! It’s flat weave, was inspired by Swedish designer Irma Kronlund (here’s an original….for $28k), and is made of handwoven wool. Esmaili, $5,999
MY FAVORITE COTTON UNDIES ON SALE
I love 80s/90s style cotton undies, and these are my favorites. I love the string sides, I love the weird colors, and they’re so soft. And they’re on sale. Oddobody, $17 (was $24) (sizes US XS - 3XL)
THE SEXIEST SHIRT
Is from Gap! It’s navy, it’s sheer, and it’s half off. Gap, $34 (sizes US XXS - XXL)
WAIT HERE’S ANOTHER EXCELLENT BUTTON DOWN FROM GAP
Very oversized, in black and with tonal buttons. Gap, $41 (sizes US XXS - XXL)
GORGEOUS SNEAKERS
From genius Grace Wales Bonner, her new twist on Sambas with leopard ponyhair. They are heaven. Wales Bonner for Adidas, $307
And there we have it!
