Black

All black today with hints of silver. Staying cool in this linen black dress. Keeping it all basic and simple with my Birkenstock-y sandals. I have to say - nothing beats dressing in comfort. Happy hump day.

Noir & Blanc

Powering through Monday with my noir and blanc ensemble. I am wearing my favorite sweater (love the bubble sleeve details, worn here before) with my high-waisted drapey wide leg trousers. Love how dramatic these pants are. I wear my power loafers instead of heels. I love heels but I love flats better, just like I love skirts but I love pants more. Happy Monday.

Christophe Lemaire

Christophe Lemaire is a master of sophistication. I love his take on French minimalism. His Spring/Summer 2014 collection is quiet yet impactful. The designs are mainly light and airy and are made of cotton. I love how he plays with balance and proportion with such a simple fabric. They are clean, functional, effortless yet luxurious. Christophe says: "I want… fashion that accompanies the personality ... Allowing freedom of movement and gesture, [the] clothes [should] allow a woman to be herself." His designs prove exactly that. Here are some of my favorites.

Happy Tuesday. As a cheery tribute to my cheery mood, I am wearing this bright green pleated dress. I pair it with my equally bright orange clutch for a colorblock effect. I highly recommend this dress which is a part of the current H&M and Gisele Bundchen collection. Love the pleated details and the lettuce hemline. It also does not wrinkle. Here's to a bright cheery wrinkle-free day.
