I’ve moved around a bit over the years, spending time living in NYC, Paris, and now my current home, L.A. Living in each city has provided its own style lessons that have helped to shape my wardrobe as well as my general attitude about getting dressed. In NYC, I learned the art of layering. In Paris, I discovered the power of investing in high-quality staples. And in L.A., I mastered styling casual pieces in a directional way. You can see all of that play out in the outfits I’m wearing.

As we head into fall, I’m putting some of those fashion lessons into practice and allowing them to help guide my fall shopping list. From knee-high boots and investment bags to floss dresses and the tailoring trend I’m excited to wear, there’s plenty I’m currently eyeing. Ahead, I’m diving into the pieces that I’m currently losing it over.
