Cold-Weather Styling Guide, Layering with Velvet & Plaid

Fall layering!  The perfect time to play with rich textures and fun prints!

Velvet and plaid, I love this combination!  It has an old world charm to it.  And I love love a great velvet suit!  Velvet suits are fun for the holidays, great as statement pieces, and so versatile when worn as separates.  Breaking this suit apart, this velvet blazer is also great with jeans for a causal tailored look and these velvet pants pair so well with an oversized sweater for a cozy weekend look.

I’ve been looking to add a brown plaid coat to my wardrobe for a very long time.  I believe a plaid coat is a must-have in every wardrobe.  They’re incredible versatile!  A great plaid coat can elevate an all black outfit, complement casual looks, and fun to dress up.  The first place I always check is Nordstrom.  I love seeing their contemporary and designer selections.  Researching and browsing for a few weeks, I came across a couple of plaid coats and this one caught my eye.

This Sandro coat is so beautiful!  I love the classic double-breasted style, the tailored fit, and the timeless camel color.  This color is really great!  A beautiful flattering and versatile brown with hints of light tan peeking through.  This coat feels very menswear-inspired with its sharp lapels and strong shoulders, but cut with a soft hourglass shape.

Funny story… we actually don’t have a Nordstrom women’s store in Manhattan yet, but we do have a newly open men’s store near Central Park.  Anyways, Colin and I walked into the men’s store, and after a very friendly greeting from the doorman, he said… I love your outfit.  You look like you’re from Peaky Blinders (which by the way is Colin’s favorite show)!  Colin and him became best friends.  And I became best friends with the cologne isle.

I hope you’re having a great November and enjoying the holidays!  Thank you so much for reading, and special thanks to Nordstrom for partnering on this post!

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
