Every season, Stella Ishii puts forth a slew of tomboy-chic looks at 6397 that epitomize how I like to dress. This season, to drive the message home, she included a few looks straight out of my Catholic school days (look 5 is a riff on my junior/senior year uniform skirt), and while that would read “mutton” in my closet these days, I like them all the same. See the complete collection at VogueRunway.com.

With the wide reach of the Internet, designers are starting to embrace immediacy or secrecy, by means of “see now/shop now” collections or tightly controlled access. No surprise that The Row has chosen option two. The fall collection, with photos supplied by the house*, is full of sumptuous coats perfect for skulking around a city. See the complete presentation at VogueRunway.com.

Completely besotted with the wispy textures at Jason Wu for fall. He really knows how to marry clean shapes to a bit of romance, and the blush nudes and citrons were a dreamy foil to always-classic black. See the complete collection at VogueRunway.com.

Here we go … the fall collections! In a season where designers are starting to move toward a business model of “show now, buy now”, I say bring it: I wouldn’t mind having this ensemble in my closet to wear this weekend! It’s minimalist utilitarian luxe® to be sure. See the complete show — including new to the lineup shoes in a gorgeous range of colors and textures — at VogueRunway.com.

Filed under: instant obsession. Discovered during weekend wandering at Lassco Ropewalk (Maltby Market), these vintage Banque de Paris gold bullion boxes caught my eye. The pressed-cardboard boxes are utilitarian-sturdy, but are visually upgraded thanks to the rivet details. I’ve already designated one for Paris souvenir storage — bien sûr — and though I bought a set of boxes in red and black, I think I’m headed back to pick up one in navy, too.
