I love this new pajama pants as evening wear trend. Why? They are elegant and stylish and any night out is more fun when you are comfortable. J. Crew has a couple of new styles including a pinstriped version that is available online only. I am wearing the solid version in carbon with a J. Crew silk blouse and velvet sandals from a couple of years ago.

There is something soothing about the lines and the symmetry of plaid that reminds me of geometry (my favorite High School subject that I mentioned in Mani Monday -Gray Geometric Edition.) The leopard belt and shoes soften the lines with the random spots. This shirt is from a couple of years ago, but I just ordered the new black watch with club collar. I previously featured the new club collar in stripe (now on sale!) and Liberty Paisley. The new one arrives tomorrow along with both of my plaid shoes. If you tried to purchase either of the plaid shoes yesterday and found your size sold out, they were just replenished. The links are here: Sadie Pom-Pom Ankle Strap Flats in Tartan and Scalloped Heels in Festive Plaid
I styled the shirt and leopard accents with the Maddie Pant in navy and a navy cashmere sweater (all from J. Crew). I bought my second pair of Maddie pants after wearing another color once. They are so comfortable! I love that they are streamlined without being too skinny and that they have belt loops. I featured them recently in olive green in Fall Foilage. I can’t wait to check them out in Black Watch as well.

This week I am easing into fall even if we do have off and on heat waves with gray I added a pop of pink and black and a little geometry. Geometry was my favorite subject in High School. There is something soothing about these triangles.
The color is “Hyde Park Place” by NailsInc with “Black Taxi” also by NailsInc and Fiji by Essie. The manicure and nail art are by Olive & June.
Happy Monday!

My six year old son told me this “jacket” is perfect for reading. It does make me want to curl up with a book. I love the pop of red with the purple houndstooth. It is a nice transition to winter. I just ordered a Black Watch plaid blazer from J. Crew and a pink velvet blazer (also from J. Crew) and I can’t wait! The pink velvet blazer is going fast, so I have linked it below.

It’s beginning to feel a lot like the holidays which to me says it’s time for plaid. I am mad for plaid as it brings back happy memories of when the Preppy Handbook was my bible. Plaid dresses up even the most basic holiday attire and adds the perfect touch to home holiday decor.
Last year J. Crew had plaid shoes and pants. I was lucky enough to get two of each and wore them repeatedly throughout the holiday season. They sold out fast (within a day of being on the website).
This year is another chance to add to your prodigious plaid pantheon with their two new adorable styles that are linked and shown below. They are available now through the links below. They will hit the website next week and will be featured in the December Style Guide. Now is the time to snap them up. I ordered both today. Don’t delay.

I miss New York City on a daily basis. I loved my life there even if I did feel like money just fell out of my pockets when I left my apartment. Sometimes I am in shock that I have now lived in Los Angeles for eleven years. I am married to a New Yorker that has no desire to move back.
In the meantime, I love this J. Crew New York T-shirt. I featured it this summer in New York on the Vineyard and wore it on September 11 when we “visited” New York at Legoland’s Miniland in Sliding Doors. It is back in stock along with the Paris version that I featured in Cheers to the long weekend! and I’ll take Paris and the Vineyard. It is definitely time to plan some travel, but I will enjoy having my two favorite cities on my t-shirts while I dream about my next trip.
I styled my New York t-shirt with my favorite J. Crew for NET-A-PORTER coat that was previously featured in Keeping Warm in the Butler’s Pantry, red flats, jeans, sunglasses and a Sunday New York Times.
