TRIMMINGS!

Bragging about Miuccia, talking about Whistler, wearing capris.

I SAW MIUCCIA PRADA WITH MY OWN TWO EYES ON WEDNESDAY! I just feel like you guys need to know that. What was she doing, you ask? Entering the Prada Satellites II activation at the Chelsea Hotel, where I caught a glimpse as she snuck through the crowded bar into the private ‘live streaming’ studio. This was a far better perk than the Prada-branded cassette tapes and french fries (though I did enjoy those)—and naturally I shed a tear. She was wearing a stunning turquoise sweater and matching bejeweled silk wrap, btw.

If you watched this, you’ll know what a big deal it is that I found these on Poshmark this week. Ok, I’m done bragging now.

June is perhaps the only month of the year where it’s perfectly appropriate to wear my latest obsession: capri pants. I’m feeling like this every day:

Brigitte Bardot wearing her capris in Capri, 1963.

The Miu Miu ones are serving the patterned purpose, and these plain ones from Los Angeles Apparel are real workhorses (cotton, no weird seams, a good length on us leggier gals, and can easily go from Pilates to the rest of the day without looking…athleisurely).

Very glad that the internet has made me aware of the concept of a ‘bikini charm’ this week. Obviously I will be DIY-ing one this summer. What should we put on there?!

I will be giving a talk about J.A.M. Whistler and his relationship to fashion at the Tate in London on September 17th! Lots more information to come! The ticket includes a talk in the Tate theatre by yours truly, and then we’ll all go for a private tour of the new Whistler exhibition after hours. I am beside myself with excitement, and please do book tickets if you’ll be in London then.
