Our Top Picks for the Week of November 12, 2018
With statement pieces like cropped, wide-leg pants with a slit, a floral velvet and embroidered kimono, and a blouse with lace and ruffles and a bell-sleeve, today's top picks prove two things: you really do have to try things on (see Ali's note below) and sometimes more is more. Speaking of more is more, these cosmetics bags are unparalleled, and we see pearls with a new, modern perspective. As for the guitar, well it's just really, really cool.
Meaghan: For younger generations, pearls have a reputation for being a bit "stuffy." Personally, I love pearls and find that with the right setting they can be modern, interesting, and timeless all at once. These Akoya pearl earrings hit that mark for me and we have them available in 14k white, yellow, and rose gold as well as platinum. Contact me to order yours or drop by to see them in person! (Available at Alx&Co., $965)Angela: The Henry Charles Large Deluxe Cosmetic Bag literally the chicest makeup bag on the market. It holds every makeup item you own and then some and makes fantastic travel toiletry bag as well. This case is so good looking, you can carry it for a night on the town as a clutch! (Available at Bellacara, $138)Elizabeth: Sometimes it seems like Ulla Johnson pieces have a lot going on, and they do. This new piece for holiday, the Grace blouse, has intricate lace, hand embroidery, layers, and even a bell sleeve, but somehow it just works. Her mix of femininity and Boho is always flattering. (Available at The Hive, $375)Ali: You would think my lack of height -- 5’4” -- would keep me from trying on this delicious pair of cropped, wide-leg pants by Isabel de Pedro. But there’s a slit up one of the pant legs, and let me tell you, I felt so darn good in these! The warm tan color is so complementary to everything in my wardrobe this season. I plan on wearing them with nude pumps to make my legs look longer, perhaps even a black sock boot. (Available at TSALT, $308)Amy: Introducing Loog Electric Guitars, the best thing since Bob Dylan plugged in at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965. This solid wood guitar comes fully assembled and ready to rock. Perfect for kids and beginners, Loog guitars come with flashcards and an app for easy learning. Amps available as well so you're ready to plug in, just like Bob! (Available at Red Barn Mercantile, $209)Celeste: The flowing sleeves and loose fit of this kimono by Johnny Was means that it works well as a layering piece. The high-low design of the hem on the bottom allows the kimono to accentuate any bottoms while at the same time covering your...assets. The lining of the kimono gives it some weight without making it too heavy, heightening the luxurious feel of the kimono itself. (Available at Kiskadee, $340)
