Shoeday Saturday...

Tabitha Simmons styles for American Vogue and consults on brands such as Tory Burch and Dolce & Gabbana.  In her spare time, she has her own line of shoes.  Not just any shoe line, a coveted by every it-girl collection of footwear, Keira Knightly, Lily Aldridge, and Kate Moss are just a few of the famous feet that don Tabitha Simmons shoes. 

This perforated sandal catches my eye every spring - simple enough to go with everything and the low stacked heel is ideal for actually walking.

This might be the year I bite the bullet and add them to my collection.

Sans sleeves...

My favorite coat is one without sleeves.  

When this Dries Van Noten collection first debuted, I took many of my fully sleeved coats and jackets to the tailor to have the arms removed, and after much persuasion, she obliged.  

Here are a few options that don't need a trip to the tailor.

Isabel Marant sleeveless wool blend coat, $920

Fendi double-faced cotton crepe vest, $2350

Marni gilet, $1760
