ONE THING RED

SMALL BAGS

It's weird, I've never really wanted a small bag/clutch. It's always the bigger, utilitarian ones that suck me in. But I would be quite happy with any of these...

FALL

This is who I want to be this fall:

THE WHITE BUTTON UP

A classic.

Pressed, silk, oversized... it's hard to go wrong with a white button up.

THE LABEL

London-based label YMC (You Must Create) has become an absolute favorite. Their statement is perfect:

"YMC are not led or influenced by seasonal trends but try to provide the solution for intelligent clothing that is both wearable and distinctive. Collections gradually develop from season to season whilst a modernist approach ensures good ideas maintain longevity".

MARGARET HOWELL LOVE

...Have you seen Ms. Howell's house on the Suffolk Coast? Her 1960's country retreat is so beautiful in its simplicity, just as you would expect from the queen of clean lines, high quality, and casual elegance.

MOVIE

Bill Cunningham New York. If you haven't seen in, see it.

A lovely documentary chronicling the 80+ year old New Yorker's obsessive interest in fashion trends and high society charity soirees for the NYTimes Style section in his columns On the Street and Evening Hours. Documenting Uptown fixtures, downtown eccentrics and everyone in between, Cunningham's overflowing collection of photos is such an accurate documentation of fashion trends through the years- more reliable than any glossy magazine or catwalk could hope to be.
