I’m always reminding myself I don’t need to buy any more black pieces, but when I see something new that would actually update my looks, I’ll reconsider. These four pieces are in that category.

After saving them to a mood board, it immediately became apparent that I’m into black with gold hardware. From the subtle rivets on Bally’s mocassin loafer to the bold tip on a Khaite belt (also in ivory – beautiful!), I like the bit of flash.

I guess you could also point out that my focus here is on leather. I love a leather jacket that mimics a silhouette I reach for often in a tailored fabric. It’s easy to imagine the styling options since I already have it down. Here, my favorite is a cropped, smart option from Altuzarra. Reminds me of the Nili Lotan jackets I wear a lot. Plus those knot buttons are super chic. A little extra gold on a black bag looks modern too. The ring detail (and detachable chain) on Prada’s pouch hits all the right marks.

LEATHER JACKET IS CURRENTLY 25% OFF at SAKS FIFTH AVENUE…linked below .

COMFORT AND STYLE WHILE FLYING

I have a couple of uniforms for air travel. The one I refer to most relies on a tried and true three rule plan. First, I start with a monochrome base. For me, that’s usually black. Nothing makes the cut if it isn’t infinitely comfortable. Every piece must also be versatile enough to wear with several other looks once I’ve reached my destination.

Second, I always wear the bulkiest shoes. Most trips are carry-on which is made possible by wearing the shoes that take up the most space. If I’m traveling to Europe, a lug sole boot has been a given in the rotation for years. They’re essential for navigating uneven cobblestone streets.

Inspiration From Italy

I’m easing back into my routine after traveling in Italy. Inevitably along the way, there were moments of style inspiration which I mentally packed up to revisit when I got home. The strongest of those moments came from Cortina, a mountain town in the Dolomites where the chic crowd perfected the art of dressing down. Not a label in sight. The Italians get it. Instead men and women wore what appeared to be well-loved personal favorites -suede or leather boat shoes with pants short enough to glimpse tan ankles, tasseled loafers with bright socks, and a head turning amount of stylish barn coat/field jacket toppers in every shade of green. These were paired with relaxed jeans, collared shirts casually tucked in, or loose dresses. The most stylish women to my eye wore hair in an almost messy gathered ponytail, a swipe of lipstick to complement a bare face with minimal if any makeup, and interesting jewelry.
