Good morning! I’ve just returned to LA from a quick trip to NY because it’s EMMYS WEEKEND and my client Ike Barinholtz is nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor! We’ve been working with Dior on his tux and it’s been an absolute dream. I can’t wait to share every detail with you next week after the Emmys on Sunday night.

First order of business is that I launched a new JACKET on Your Stylist Says! It’s a khaki safari style jacket with a faux leather collar and it goes with jeans, dresses, everything. Every season I launch one new thing on Your Stylist Says that is the thing I want to wear. This jacket is the perfect piece for transitional fall weather, so I wore it on repeat in NY.

New Season, new Your Stylist Says jacket! Dress is old Toteme, but it’s a style they refresh every season and this is the new version - I love the color for fall! This is a similar version with more arm coverage I paired it with these Freda Salvador boots which I wrote about a few weeks ago (you know I shop my own collages, right?!) Necklace is a favorite statement piece (discount code is ABBY15)

Tuesday: LAX » JFK

I recently decided that silk or satin pants would be a chic alternative to sweatpants for travel. I don’t actually have any silk pants (although these are on the way to me now), so I wore satin Adidas pants with a cashmere sweater, this white T shirt and Tokyos:

Satin Adidas pants but I wish I had these! / similar cashmere sweater here / J.Crew cashmere scarf for maximum coziness / Adidas Tokyos
My beloved YSL bag I secured second hand - similar here and this is a nylon version! Dr. Max’s pouch

Day 1:

Weather is perfect. First stop is the Sequin Jewelry showroom - you know them! I write about their jewelry all the time. They had a charm necklace station set up so I went absolutely bananas with that and tried on the new collection which is - no surprise - beautiful and easy to wear.

cuff bracelet / pearl charm bracelet / TWP belt (wearing a size 80)

1 PM: Alex Mill office visit

I love Alex Mill clothes, of course, but the team is also the best. They’re an open book about their design process, love of fashion, and customer forward attitude which I appreciate so much. Shoutout to

Rose Florence
, Lili and
somsack sikhounmuong
- if you haven’t read my interview with him, you can catch that here, and my interview with Mickey Drexler!

a great red sweater / grey suit pants with an elastic waist! (wearing a 2)
Rugby shirt (wearing a mens small) / jeans
cashmere sweater (wearing a medium) / pants - these have the perfect amount of stretch and structure (I’m wearing a medium)

5 pm: Live taping of Fashion People at the WSA Building

Lauren Sherman is one of my favorite voices in fashion and I live for her podcast. She hosted a panel discussion with

Erika Veurink
,
Marisa Meltzer
, &
Kristen Naiman
in partnership with
The RealReal
, about the power of the re-sale market, particularly bags. There were some incredible insights shared that as a second hand lover I couldn’t get enough of.
