The Wardrobe you Need For Parent’s Weekend, Girl’s Trips and Date Nights

I had so much fun checking out fall looks this week. Full transparency: this is the week we drop everyone off at school. On top of feeling emotionally verklempt, I have been shattered. I haven’t been sleeping. I am trying to run my Substack and Instagram, and spend quality time with my family, and find everyone’s missing (favorite pants, shirt, jeans). I have also done some FaceTime apartment decorating. And traveled from home to Manhattan to LA to set up our new apartment there. I decompress by shopping. (Yes, I know that maybe meditating in a Yurt would work better, but that isn’t on my fall bucket list).

I think the biggest surprise on this list is the Veronica Beard denim jacket. I haven’t shopped with them in a few years and wasn’t expecting to adore this jacket the way I do.

I got a lot of DMs about sneakers, jackets, and sweaters. I also get asked what I am reading. (Not enough). But I enjoyed putting these looks together. This Sea Sweater is so good. jennifer sattler posted it the same day I bought it. She and I are always on the same page. Make sure to check her out. This sweater is fantastic and comes in two colorways.

The earrings are Mejuri and perfect for every day. I bought them in LA when I discovered I lost my entire jewelry box. (I cannot even).

This bag by Parker Thatch is SO good. I can’t wait to carry it this fall. Camo and pink and a shoulder strap. Oh my.

These shoes are amazing, on sale, and hopefully still available. I bought them last night on the plane when I started getting messages asking what sneakers I like.

The jeans are my all time favorite loose wide leg. They go with anything. I am 5’4 and size up to a 26 rather than staying in a 25.

Okay, we NEED to talk about this Veronica Beard jacket. It’s denim, it’s got a cool plaid lining, a gorgeous corduroy collar and a great swing fit. The store photo does it no justice. It is literally so good. I don’t know how to show you because it just doesn’t photograph that well. But it’s gorgeous.

I got the small black denim Gucci Giglio canvas last year. I carried it every day and will carry it every day this year too. It’s just that good. It looks small but it’s a clown car. You can fit everything in it.

The brown Gucci loafer. If it’s in your budget, buy it. Gorgeous. Super comfy (wide toe) and oh such a beautiful color.

THIS SWEATER. Just go buy it. I had to source it for like ten friends when it sold out last year. It’s argyle with a solid blue back and crystals in the argyle. It is the PERFECT fall and Thanksgiving sweater. Not lying about how many people wanted. They tried to buy mine.

These are great Veja sneaks. The jeans are the straight Lexi from Pistola. The only straight jeans I can eff with because i have knock knees.

The jacket. Buy it. It’s perfect for fall. It has a great swing. It’s great for Sept-November and it’s neutral.

This Parker Thatch bag in brown suede. Chef’s kiss. And you can change the straps for different looks. The belt is Streets Ahead. I love it. A little fun at the loop.

The sneakers are going fast because they are on sale. So good. Corduroy and shearling,

Ranger Station is my new favorite soap, candle and scent brand. This one is super mossy.

And I am counting down the days to the follow-up to Elin Hilderbrand’s YA novel from last fall.

This sweater is perfect. Cotton. Elbow sleeve length. One of the most popular items on my page.

The earrings. Dorsey. No brainer, you can wear with everything. Sadly, I just lost mine, so I had to replace them.

Nili Lotan wool Shon pants. I wear a 0 in the cotton pants and a 2 in the wool pants.

The Parisa Wang bag is a great price, and it fits a ton without making you look like you are hauling a suitcase around.

I think we have established that I have an abnormal relationship to stripes. The sweater is a perfect weight, and I love pink and brown. The pants. I don’t know I just felt compelled to have a pair of chic harem pants. You can’t go wrong with a pair of New Balance Sneakers.

Well, this is the beginning of the big fall ramp-up. How is it that September through October is sixteen days and January and February are seven million days? But I am hosting lots of family and friends for Thanksgiving so I am just going to live every minute of this season and enjoy!
