Friday find...
While perusing the chic Aerin Lauder store in Southampton this morning, I came across her Beach Cream. This genius tube hydrates while adding a subtle shimmer to your skin, and also works for your hair! Yes, when applied to wet hair it helps to rehydrate your sun kissed locks.

Seeing spots...
One of my favorite things to follow during the US Open Tennis tournament are the fashions on center court. Gone are the days of white on white on white. Last night Serena Williams dominated in a Nike leopard print dress.
Immediately upon seeing Serena's spots, I thought of Rosie Huntington Whiteley in this fantastic Chloé pre-fall dress.
I doubt she was Serena's inspiration, but you never know!

Nat-at-Home...
It is no surprise that Natalie Massenet's home is just as chic as she is. The founder of Net-a-Porter, is featured in the September issue of Architectural Digest. Her London townhouse, designed by longtime friend Michael Smith, is elegant, airy and sophisticated.
Where is the 'add to cart' button?

Evening flat...
For their Fall 2014 Couture collection, Valentino paired each look with a pair of flat sandals; minimal, grecian sandals that tie up the leg. The look feels refreshing and modern paired with floor length gowns, wide leg pants, and cocktail length dresses.

Talking...
If you haven't been to a lecture at the Times Center, book a ticket now! The venue seats an intimate 378 people, and brings bold face names from film, television, music, culinary arts, and more to its stage.
Last night I attended a talk with Academy Award winner Jared Leto and New York Times contributor Logan Hill. Leto was gracious, humble, frank, and quite funny. From discussing the One Direction phenomenon, the state of the music industry today, to what it was like to win the Oscar, Leto put on quite a show!
Watch the talk here.

On my radar...
Chloé Pre-Fall 2014.
Clare Waight Keller's pre-fall collection brought forth favorite shapes from Spring, and made outerwear look appealing again after last winter's vortex.
Two looks that call out my name: stripes paired with spots, and the blanket coat*.

Just one…
Things that come in pairs:
Shoes,
Gloves,
Socks,
Earrings…. not anymore!
One of the stand out accessory trends from the Fall 2014 runways, especially in Paris was the 'just one earring'. Céline and Louis Vuitton, both, adorned solely the left lobe with large, intricate statement pieces.

Louis Vuitton
My personal take on the trend will likely be less bold, maybe with this single Eddie Borgo ear cuff or one of these Jennifer Meyer long bar studs.
