Riding Boots

Zoe Saldana was the picture of casual-chic while running errands in Los Angeles recently. She stood out in a fun striped sweater styled with black skinnies, luxe riding boots, and a quilted handbag. Her all-black ensemble really showcased the stripes –– and hot pink lips! Copy her look by pairing a striped pullover with black jeggings and a kitschy charm necklace.

Whether bringing a little country style into the city or planning a cozy weekend in the woods, belted cardigans, plaid menswear shirts, and equestrian jackets are the perfect way to do casual this fall. Understated extras like Burberry's check tote and Chloé's knee-high boots look right with this laid-back look.

Ever wake up one morning mid-winter and think to yourself, "No, I will not squeeze myself into those jeans another day"--well, this fashion formula has always been our solution. It's much more comfortable than a frock or skirt and let's you play with the androgynous trends ad infinitum. Pair heavy tights, riding boots, and wool shorts with a buttoned-up white blouse, a structured jacket, or a cool, 1970's sweater and we guarantee you'll feel much more chic then when you woke up that morning. Simple as it may be, there's something to be said for those standby combinations that never do you wrong.

We just can't help but share this snapshot we took today from the Marie Saeki showroom of one of Selima Optique's new Spring 09 styles. The grey and black frames have rich layers of monochromatic tones. Our first thought was a vision of these glasses in a wardrobe filled with black, grey, and brown basics. If you can't stand latex, better stick with what is considered classic. Let's pray for eyeglass prescriptions come Spring!!
