A Fall Trend Report You Can Keep

A Fall Trend Report You Can Keep

Fall is the one season where the trends and the classics tend to agree with each other. This year they agree on suede, a soft loafer, braided leather at the waist, pearls, and a few notes of burgundy to keep all the brown interesting. Here is a trend report built from pieces you can wear this October and still reach for three autumns from now.

Christmas Weekend Packing List

Christmas Weekend Packing List

This is a packing list for a Christmas weekend spent partly traveling and partly hosting, built around red, cream, camel, and emerald. The colors are chosen so pieces can share a coat, a scarf, or a single shoe rather than requiring a separate outfit for each day. The angle here favors a few strong pieces worn deliberately over a suitcase full of separate looks.

70s Outfit: Flare, Fringe, and a West Philly Beginning

A 70s outfit can move from flared denim and suede fringe to peasant blouses, wrap dresses, clogs, and amber tinted lenses. I trace the decade’s clothes through naval workwear, Diane von Furstenberg’s wrap dress, and Free People’s West Philadelphia roots.

Butter yellow and chocolate brown take the color everyone wore last summer and make it work for fall.
