Heck yeah plaid. My love affair with you shall never die. Especially when tailored into a sharp-looking pencil skirt like Odille’s First Day Skirt ($98). Pencil skirts have pervaded successfully so I know it takes a little something special to make one worth your while now. In this case, a cute dog-eared placket does the trick. As I mentioned yesterday…
I was eager to see the Cloverleaf Scoopneck ($48) in-store. Of course it looks great on the model! But how would the lucky ruffles — which can I be honest kind of look like ruffle suspenders — translate in real life? I’m happy to report I didn’t have to wait long. This top has been selling like hotcakes I was…

The dress above is the Recollections Dress ($148). Made by Maple, it’s 100% silk. The pattern is kind of a smoky damask or medallion that looks like flowers from far away. I like the keyhole detail and the lace ruffle detail on the sleeves is handled lightly. I regret not taking a photo from the back now. Beginning and the…
It continues to be pleasantly warm in NYC. While the weather is delaying the transition over to fall clothing I find myself still tempted by warm-weather items. I guess the All Trades Dress ($98) by Fei has been out for awhile but this is the first time I noticed it. They had red and black in-store so I chose the…
