Friday | Fashion

While humans aren’t perfect, and striving for perfection is futile, you can have the perfect shoe.

I have a serious problem. I have probably 20 Reformation wrap dresses and I still feel like I need more.

In my opinion, there is nothing cooler than a girl in a white tee, blue Levi’s and a leather jacket. This is an outfit that has stood the test of time and will never go out of style.

Because she is, after all, a fashion blogger. And a damn good one.

I am really into matching sweat suits. There is a new line that just launched called Madeline Thompson — I’m a big fan and have been wearing these daily because I can dress them up or down depending on where my day takes me.

What I love about Isabel Marant the most is that she keeps evolving without killing her ethos.

First and foremost, I love Who What Wear Collection, which is available at Target. I have the privilege of getting to help design it, so I'm obviously biased, but there are so many amazing, affordable, on-trend pieces.

Here’s what’s in my closet all the time.

Denim pieces are my wardrobe staples and I'm currently rotating through a number of Goldsign jacket and jeans. The silhouettes are super on trend and have fun retro vibes.

Hats are a big part of my wardrobe, and I honestly can’t even count how many I have!

If I’m being honest, my most favorite way to dress is in this order: Shoes, Pajamas, Sweats, Summer Weekend Wear, Casual Dinner Wear / Work Wear and Dressy Dressy. So, I’ll give you my faves in that order, too.

I also love my A.L.C  Sequin Top. Paired with sweats, sequins make the combo fancy enough for a night out.

Redone denim are the best pair of jeans I’ve ever had hands down. You have to try on a bunch to find your match, but it’s worth it! 

I really love shirts. Most of them are custom made in a a few places.

I’m a denim girl all day. I feel most comfortable in jeans and I probably wear them inappropriately on occasions when I should be more dressed up.

This Rachel Comey jumpsuit is kind of insane because I think maybe it looks like a wedding dress? But I also am obsessed with it.

My style is rather eclectic and always changing. I have recently become more comfortable with being myself instead of trying to fit into whatever mold people have tried to project onto me in the past. 

I wear head to toe black everyday, and most of my clothing comes from Club Monaco. I also love this black leather jacket from Veda.

I have a sneaky way of getting new jewelry. I wear the same earrings, necklace and rings so often that my sister can't stand it anymore and sends me something new.

If I could have only one jacket in my closet, it would be my bespoke, blue travel jacket from New York’s West Village tailor, J Meuser.

I’m a girly-girl, so I love a good pair of high heels but I also like to be relaxed and casual,

I grew up in Sweden so I am definitely influenced by Scandinavian fashion.

My dog, Kingsley, is my best accessory. He's a 200-pound English Mastiff and he's my world. He also makes everything look like high fashion.

Clearly I love shoes, particularly those with a heel.

I have been collecting vintage T-shirts since I was 17, so now I’ve got THE BEST collection. Concert Ts, Tie Dye Ts, Band Ts, Funny T’s, Air Brushed T’s, Hand Painted T’s, Biker Ones, Car Ones, Ripped Ones and Cropped Ones — you name it, I have it. And for the last 10 years I've been collecting for my husband, so now I’ve got big ones and small ones too!

R13 boots are everything. I also love Dear Frances — their boots are the coolest

I'm a big fan of Rent the Runway Unlimited — I can wear as many winter coats as I want without them taking up space in my wardrobe!

My entire closet is nothing but Anine Bing + some vintage clothing and Chanel. I love our clothes and I've always only ever designed what I want to wear!

I’m blessed to have a closet full of clothes, but there are two tailored blazers that have high sentimental value for me because my grandfather made them for my mother back in 1988.

My first word was shoes - no really, it was. Before mama or dada, it was shoes. 

Some of my favorite shops around the world are Victoire in Paris; Amina Rubinacci in Rome; and Eric Raisina in Cambodia.

I love cotton underwear because it's very important to let your vagina breathe (sleep commando!), so I like to stick with cotton underwear.

These handmade leather harnesses are THE accessory over a plain white t-shirt and jeans. 

For me, fashion is about being yourself while taking risks, it's about being playful and having fun, but also having a point of view.

I'm also majorly into newsboy caps, which I can't seem to take off! They're the perfect accessory for bad hair days or when you want to complete an outfit.

Currently, I am living in my J. Brand jeans.

This passion led to the creation of my company, STLR Aesthetics, a minimalistic, functional, fashion forward clothing brand built for people who live dynamic lifestyles. It's my uniform for life, and it's literally all I wear. 

One of my favorite ARZEE Denim Jackets right now is the “Love thy Neighbor” design. We try to send messages through fashion on these limited edition denim jackets. It’s literally like wearing your heart on your sleeve.

Polly Wales is an English designer now living in downtown LA who makes the best rainbow jewelry you have ever seen. Using recycled gold and conflict gems — my obsession runs deep. Her rainbow skull ring is now on my most wanted list. 

For high fashion, I am a huge Isabel Marant and Stella McCartney fan. Girl Power anyone? 

Living in New York City as a floral and event designer means I take lots of meetings all over town. My preferred method of transport is my vintage bike. It’s an oldie but a goodie with a weathered wicker basket in the front. If I ever upgraded, this Tokyo Bike would be my first choice. It’s classic and sporty but comfortable and lightweight.

Chris shops at Bonobos. All their business casual styles fit great and everything is business class, but not business boring. 

Maison Margiela split toe ankle boots are forever my favorite boot. I wear them year round with dresses, pants, pajamas. Basically I wear them with anything. I am completely in love with how severely modern, yet timeless they are. 

My style is very simple, but very specific. I wear white almost every day, which feels especially good living in the Florida heat.

For the fall, I love oversized turtlenecks, off the shoulders, awesome jeans and great hoops. Here are some of my favorites

I love enamel and pretty colors mixed with gold and I'm obsessed with Jennifer Fisher's entire enamel collection.  

My fashion hit list includes Any dress by Victoria Beckham because they fit like a glove and make you feel like a million bucks.

I tend to wear a lot of our own products. At least four times a week I'lll be in a different colorway of our yoga line, Nadi X. I wear them to meetings as well as class (don't worry — I shower and change in between!).

My fashion is #NKAllBlackEverything! I’m the most comfortable in all black and have made it my signature style.

I really use my clothes. If I love it, I truly wear it, and I believe in using your most luxurious items.  Nothing feels better than wearing something unexpected in the morning or knowing that your casual hoodie is cashmere.

I could go on and on — this list just scratches the surface. 

I especially love ear cuffs, which I wear every single day. 

I never take my pineapple off — it has special meaning for me. It's a symbol of hospitality, a symbol of my home Australian state of Queensland (we even have a giant pineapple!), its kitsch and tropical, and also represents the local saying piña para la niña (pineapple for the little girl) embodying my personal philosophy of living with a childlike wonder for the world and everything in it.

I'm a guy, so I have a uniform – Black.  Black Jeans. Black T-shirt. All Black Everything, as the master poet Jay-Z once said.

These days, I sadly have to "speed shop" online, and usually only when I need something. Sometimes, though, I just love a little indulgence. My go-to sites are Moda Operandi, Carbon 38, Bandier, Bergdorf Goodman, and Les Pommettes (for summer).

We are currently working on our newest venture, Mrs. Mandolin, a café, market and retail shop.

Right now, much like the rest of the world, I’m loving Gucci big time.

I love Jennifer Fisher Jewelry. She makes everyone feel like the cool girl!

I curate pieces that are made by the designers themselves, as opposed to an entire team. I really try to avoid the "trend" mentality, and look for pieces that I think have a voice, vision and real style.

I currently can’t take off my Sarah Chloe baguette ring and this choker. I love jewelry that can be everyday but also work dressed up.

My husband and I both wore Frye boots for our wedding.  I’m not very fashion forward — I’d rather be comfortable  — and all Frye boots are awesome! And great for dancing.

I like simple and classic fashion.  I like comfortable jeans, sneakers, worn-in white tees, tanks and cashmere sweaters.

Rallier is inspired by modern uniform dressing - the pieces explore the tension between uniformity and individuality by mixing the heritage of archetypal dress codes with a feminine spirit of ease. For every piece sold, school uniforms are sourced from regions plagued by gender inequality and given to local schoolgirls. Also, everything is made entirely in New York.

Fashion is another deep passion for us. It’s where our design aesthetic was born and where it continues to be inspired.

I love to buy accessories. This can range from Vintage Hermes scarves to Native American beads to Vintage Rolex watches, hats from Ticul, rebozos from Oaxaca and of course my own design of handbags, the Dutzi bags. 

Both of us have a laid-back California Style, with a rocker edge.

I am a late-at-night, 2nd glass of wine,  pint of ice cream, shopper. 

I've always collected SUPREME but, right now I'm really having a moment. I want anything and everything! I try to reason with myself and say oh I don't need that and then ... I NEED IT. 

I am a life long Manolo girl. I love the basic BB in any color and any heel height, they always look great.

We just launched a reinvention of the AP Royal Oak in my signature gold finish. The whole project was a dream as the original had been my favourite for many years. The new one has kept every detail that made Genta’s design a masterpiece, but elevating it to become a sparkling new icon.

Since I've been spending so much time in Palm Beach these days, I'm also having some summer fashion fun.

My favorite jeans are any pair of Rag & Bones. They have the best fit. 

Here are some of the items we’ll be dressing our clients in this season.

Kavita who runs the IOU Project is one of my most favorite people in the whole world. The concept behind her design — employing the best artisans in the world, from those who weave to those who sew, is admirable. 

We are always on the hunt for the emerging designer. For us it’s about the discovery of something new, something special.

I am addicted to The Real Real because a) I can shop late at night before going to sleep, and b) who doesn't like a deal on couture clothing and accessories? 

The entire ethos behind my collection is that true luxury is you doing you. I just launched the selfie bags, which are the more perfect iteration of this idea: Each bag is one of a kind and are made in collaboration with Angelica Hicks. You send in your selfie, she sketches it, and I turn it into a python clutch. A walking portrait.

Also, I am a shoe addict. I believe shoes complete an outfit. I know it’s a cliché saying but with the right pair of heels you CAN conquer the world!

In Paris the best stores are Le Bon Marché for one-stop shopping: Easy, Parisian and chic; and CSAO  for African prints and fabrics, located in the Marais.

When it comes to fashion I’m a “basic bitch” so to speak. Give me a good pair of jeans, a t-shirt, a leather jacket, my Acne track boots and I'm a happy girl.

Fashion is my thing and each season I just choose a few statement pieces (I call them polisher pieces) which elevate my very casual denim and knits.

I am constantly inspired by the fashion that surrounds me - most specifically, Parisian women and their ability to make everything they wear both effortless and chic. This was one of the reasons I started Chatelles - to give women access to effortless style in the form of beautiful and comfortable footwear.

My collections are very much resort and Dolce Vita-inspired. I love the timeless shape of the caftan. The caftan embodies elegance. It holds allure, beauty and mystery and can be worn absolutely anywhere....from resort to beach to dinner. Our 2017 collection explores the glamorous roots of resort wear with a muted palette of silver and nude, and hints of platinum and gold metallic sparkle.

If you're anything like me, you ate a lot over the holidays. Actually, if you're a human being you ate a lot over the holidays. And while I am now in the throes of a major detox, I am still very much in a committed relationship with my "street" leggings and oversized sweaters. So I thought I'd share what I'm currently loving (and wearing) and likely will continue to wear until I can get my addiction to food under control.

It's not all casual in LA, and sometimes you have to dress up.

My favorite shopping website is TheDreslyn.com – they do such an incredible job of curating a great selection of designers, while remaining true to who they are and keeping a beautiful and timeless aesthetic.

I stumbled across this T-shirt on Melrose Avenue. I'm still convinced it's true.

Fridays are a shop day no matter what city I'm in.

I don’t do a lot of jewelry, but I do like belt buckles.

I mostly dress for comfort, and lately I'm wearing a ton of Raquel Allegra. 

Fashion is my life, literally. Here are my must-haves!

Don’t know where to begin, so here a few brands I’m loving.

I am a huge fan of jewelry. I have been designing jewelry for the lexicon of my life and most recently launched a collection with HSN.

I have two speeds: dressed up and sweatpants. 

Obviously shopping is our favorite! When we go on our buying appointments in NYC and Paris it's like shopping with your best friend — we have the most fun trying everything on and getting to see the newest trends and discovering new brands.

Yes. I have a dream sock.

My style M.O. is comfort meets chic, and Hef is definitely the master of that with his luxe robes, silk pajamas, drawstring jodhpurs, and velvet slippers

Welcome to my dream fall wardrobe (mostly items that I could never afford unless I magically won the lottery.)

After not so long my favorite coat tends to look like my favorite coat. $12 later, this little device shaves off the fuzz and makes my coat look brand new. Game-changing

Well, I may not be a fashion plate because my favorite part of being a chef used to be wearing a uniform everyday. Now that I am a bit more in the spotlight I have fun putting together my look.

For fashion and art inspiration, I go to Paridust. She is a genius at fusing the conversation about fashion and art.

I get a kick out of fashion even though I don’t live it.  I love to look at it.

Brunello Cucinelli  makes the only suit I wear (my closet is filled to the brim). 

My personal unicorn is finding shoes that fit. I'm a size 12 so it can be a challenge.

Everything looks better with some of my jewelry layered in.

Anyone who knows me knows that when it comes to fashion, it’s all about shoes ...

The secret is sleeping in the raw denim the first day you get them, it allows them to start molding to your body.

We cannot pull ourselves away from food, so that’s why for our fashion pick we choose Dover Street Market as it has the ever-present Rose Bakery inside — a hidden gem of a restaurant located on the ground floor of this high-concept store dedicated to high fashion.

I am a tailored guy and love clothes that fit (some might say hug) my body are key — I like to feel sexy when I am out in the world.

I'm into all things fashion, like most women. I can shop with the best of them.

Ah, fashion. How I love thee … Shop away my friends!
