We love this season’s tiered skirt, but we have an itch that it’s going to end up on the sale rack this fall…just like last season’s poncho. A refreshing departure from that is the circle skirt, with just a little fifties charm and all of its timeless elegance.
Some of our favorite ideas:

Looks like the denim industry is using its head. After season upon season of complicated rinses and treatments, jeans are going grey this fall.
As the most sophisticated denim variety, grey denim has versatility, refinement, and a dose of cool. It instantly elevates an otherwise so-so outfit, whether you’re going out for groceries or going to a club. Integrate this versatile piece into your wardrobe by pairing it with anything and everything in your closet, especially your whites from spring and summer.
What’s the verdict? Grey matters.

Whether you’re traveling a day or a month, domestic or international, summer or winter, packing light is an essential. A few things to remember:
- Bring versatile clothing, such as colors that match easily, reversible outfits, and clothes that can go day-to-night.
- Avoid packing anything that wrinkles, since you’ll have to press or steam it when you arrive at your destination.
- Convenience and comfort, above all else, are key. Spare your back and travel with a roller bag, and sans stilettos.
