FASHION: Khaite Resort 2020

Khaite has quickly become one of the fashion houses I’m always checking in on. Started by Assembled Brands who are the creative geniuses behind the luxury shopping ‘experience’ store, The Line - The Apartment. Although those stores closed last year without much warning to their loyal customers or a reason (yes, I’m a little bitter about it!), Assembled Brands seems to have great success with creative director Catherine Holstein’s brand, Khaite.

You may have heard of Khaite recently when newly single Katie Holmes was pictured wearing a chic cashmere bra and sweater that exposed her right shoulder as she was hailing a cab in New York City. Yes, that iconic picture that broke the internet for a week, or so it seemed.

After the Katie Holmes images, I noticed more and more people outside of the typical Fashion crowd were talking about Khaite and I loved it! I think because we’ve had a hole missing with Phoebe Philo’s exit from Céline and although Philo’s genius was truly other worldly - we need new brands to fill that void and one of those for me is Khaite! So I wanted to share Khaite’s latest collection, Resort 2020.

“Designed to be cherished, each piece proposes a fresh balance of opposing elements—past and future, masculine and feminine, strength and softness, structure and fluidity—while embodying a signature sensuality and ease.”

I could switch out almost my whole wardrobe just for this collection. It’s just the right amount of feminine/masculine mix while keeping things in beautiful neutrals. Holstein is incredible at designing with textures and volume which I love her for. I own a pair of Khaite jeans which are so perfect - I wear them all the time. FYI if you’re a size 26 please pick up this pair that’s currently on sale, trust me, you won’t regret them! Would love to own more of her pieces and I’m consciously trying to shop better and invest in quality items and Khaite pieces are always on my list.

EDITORIAL: Keeping It Real With Kirsten Dunst

I am a huge fan of actress Kirsten Dunst since her childhood days. I remember watching her as young Amy March in Little Women with my mom and then being forced to watch Jumaji with my brothers and thinking she was so cool. Following her incredible career I was enthralled with her in the Virgin Suicides, a movie I still watch a bunch today and take inspiration from. Then came Marie Antoinette which is by far one of my favorite movies. I think I put it on almost once a week, it’s the only movie I went out and bought the DVD as soon as it came out so that I could watch it whenever I wanted. I’m pretty sure I also bought it on Apple Movies so I can have it on my phone. Cleary a huge fan!

I remember bookmarking this Editorial she was in last August for Porter Magazine and figured I would share it since I keep looking back at it! Dunst is so angelic, I don’t know if it’s the blonde hair or the fact that I feel everything she does it gold. Who knows, just sit-back and scroll because she looks stunning and the styling for the Editorial is so dreamy. *le sigh*

This is a great article on Kirsten Dunst, she talks about growing up in Hollywood and her latest role in Becoming a God in Central Florida so I highly recommend you clock over to Net-A-Porter to read it!

Fall is finally here and October has begun. Feels very different when you’re living somewhere tropical and the temperature doesn’t drop the way you’d like it to! Still getting used to this whole island living but slowly, it’s feeling more and more like home. That doesn’t mean I’m not going to make our space as Fall as I can! Switching out fruity/summer-y candles for deep scents that remind me of Winter and a crackling fire. Thinking of doing a round-up of my favorite Fall candles to help everyone get in the mood! Until then, enjoy this October Mood Board

RUNWAY: Chanel Spring 2019 Ready-to-Wear

I’m trying to get back into the rhythm of blogging so I apologize for the lack of posts lately! Figured the best way to start again is by posting things that inspire me, which is a huge part of why I started this blog years ago!

I wanted to post some of my favorite looks for the recent Chanel Spring 2019 Runway Show. With 80+ looks, it was very hard to edit it down to these few below…

I loved the whole concept of the show on the beach which actual water and sand. Karl sure knows how to put on an amazing production for his shows! As always, the details in the Chanel collections are truly exquisite. I love the paired down looks with leggings and biker shorts yet they still look very put-together. The oversized tweed jackets are classic Chanel with an updated modern look. Great accessories with more clear bags and lucite shoes, which I’m happy are still ‘on trend’. My favorite part was definitely the double bags. I love the layering of a larger and smaller bag and how Lagerfeld connected some in the middle with the classic Chanel chain straps. So so good! Le sigh, one day I’ll own a Chanel piece….preferably from this collection!
