The following podcast is a deer media production.
00:00:05
Hi guys, welcome back to another episode of Let's Get Dressed.
00:00:11
It's your host, Lyftras.
00:00:13
I am recently back from Paris.
00:00:14
I got back last week.
00:00:16
It was such an incredible week.
00:00:18
I went to do a few shows, do your inner mezz, and do a couple other events surrounding the week.
00:00:23
But also, my dad actually moved to Paris right before I got married in May.
00:00:27
So it was such a fun trip.
00:00:29
It was so great to be able to be there.
00:00:30
And if I wasn't working, have lunch with my dad and hang out and have some family there.
00:00:34
I definitely, on one of the days, we were having lunch sat down and was like, oh man, like take in this moment and be so present because of what a cool experience that you get to have to be able to blend work and my personal life too.
00:00:46
So it was such a great trip.
00:00:48
The only negative thing was that it rained literally the entire time I was there.
00:00:53
I got there Monday afternoon and it rained the whole week until I left on Saturday.
00:01:00
I woke up Saturday morning and the sun was shining.
00:01:02
It was gorgeous just in time for the air med show.
00:01:05
And I actually left straight from the air med show to go back to LA for our friends birthday.
00:01:09
So I only got about six hours of sunshine.
00:01:12
But still an incredible week.
00:01:14
It's always such an honor to be there.
00:01:15
It is the biggest week on the fashion calendar every year.
00:01:19
You'll notice that Paris Fashion Week is longer than any other week.
00:01:22
It's longer than New York, London and Milan.
00:01:25
It's a full eight days of shows going from Tuesday to Tuesday.
00:01:29
And it's where the biggest brands in the world show from Valentino, to Hermes, to Chanel and Dior.
00:01:34
And so many other established and up and coming brands choose Paris as their stage because of how influential it is in fashion.
00:01:43
In my opinion, it's where trends and really big ideas take that main stage.
00:01:48
It's usually where I feel like I see brands taking the biggest risks.
00:01:52
And also where you'll see so many of the trends that we now shop in Zara, originate.
00:01:58
So all those boho dresses that you're seeing at H&M in Zara right now, that was Chloe last season.
00:02:04
I also think Milan holds great importance.
00:02:07
Obviously you've got Gucci there.
00:02:08
You've got Farragamo.
00:02:09
You've got Botega and all that burgundy goodness that we're seeing right now for fall is coming from Gucci's and Coro show that was about a year ago.
00:02:18
So these two moments hold such great influence and importance in the fashion industry.
00:02:24
I come back with the most style inspiration.
00:02:28
Whether it's from being able to see shows IRL or seeing them digitally or even just seeing the way that people in Paris who are so proximate to the epicenter of fashion dress.
00:02:38
I come back with so many new ideas on how I can shake up my wardrobe and do something different.
00:02:45
And speaking of shaking things up, I feel like if there was anything I was to take away from this fashion week being their IRL and then also culling through all of the incredible collections.
00:02:54
The designer to shake up that the fashion industry is in is definitely being felt.
00:02:59
I felt like so many collections had incredible ideas, but a lot of the brands are trying to find their footing and vision of what fits for that brand.
00:03:09
Most notably, Alessandra McKelley, who was formerly at Gucci and most notably responsible for re-branding Gucci to wear it as today, debuted his first collection as a creative director of Valentino, Sean McGeeer,
00:03:19
who is the current creative director of Alexander McQueen, showed his second collection after Sarah Burton departed last year.
00:03:27
And even at the Chanel show, the collection was not designed by version of Yard, who was the former creative director and exited Chanel in June of this year, leaving the biggest job in fashion open and the biggest question mark that I think every fashion person is talking about right now,
00:03:42
the collection was designed by the in-house team.
00:03:44
So there's a lot going on.
00:03:46
And on top of that, Post-Olympics, a lot of the shows did not show in their usual locations.
00:03:51
Saint Laurent was not at the Eiffel Tower, Dior was not at the Toularies.
00:03:56
And while most can say, okay, fashion needs to get it shipped together, I actually think that this shake-up gives a lot of opportunity for big and fun ideas.
00:04:05
Yes, of course, designers want to sell and then want to create collections that are commercial and marketable and things that we love.
00:04:11
But I walked away from this season with a ton of inspiration because of the fact that there's a little bit of wiggle room at the moment and designers again are trying to find their footing.
00:04:20
With these episodes, in case you didn't catch the one from last season, I'm going to be walking you guys through a few different styling elements that I saw while I was out in Paris.
00:04:28
I'm going to go through a few of them and some of them, I'll be giving you guys ideas of what to buy out there if you want to add some things to your wardrobe.
00:04:35
But some of these also, I'm excited to share because they're things that we already have in our closet that we can just mix it up and try something new with our everyday style.
00:04:45
Per usual, with all of my solo episodes, there's going to be an accompanying shopping edit.
00:04:50
You can go to my shopmy.us/libporesshopie.us/libporesshopie.us/libporez.
00:05:00
There will be a Paris styling edit and it will have all my recommendations if you want to utilize these styling moments, they will all be in there.
00:05:08
It will be linked in the description of this episode in case you can't find it.
00:05:11
Also, if you're listening to this after 8 a.m.
00:05:13
Pacific time on Monday, you can go on my Instagram right now.
00:05:16
There is a carousel of visual accompaniments to this if you're a little bit lost and want to see exactly what I'm talking about.
00:05:23
Let's get into it.
00:05:24
The first one, we've got to talk about feathers because they were quite literally everywhere during Paris Fashion Week.
00:05:30
They were on the runway at Chanel, Louis-Vey, Alexander McQueen, Jean-Batiste de Volley, Christopher Asber, Valentino, and I'm probably missing a few.
00:05:41
Whenever this happens, whenever there is a motif or a fabric or a style that comes back into the fold out of nowhere, I didn't see a single feather on last season's runways.
00:05:51
I always think about, are all the designers talking to each other in the background?
00:05:55
Are they all going to the same fabric store?
00:05:58
Are they all meeting up in the same coffee shops and being like, let's bring the feathers back?
00:06:06
Because it is too much of a coincidence that there was this motif on so many a fashion taught as runways.
00:06:09
That's probably not happening and who knows what's going on in the background, but I always get very excited when I see that one kind of random thing that comes back into the fold.
00:06:18
When ballet flats started to come back and all of a sudden they were just everywhere.
00:06:23
I am not going to be the person that sits here and tells you guys to go by a sweater with feather trim or a feather top or a feather skirt.
00:06:32
First of all, a lot of those pieces can be quite pricey if you're getting the real deal.
00:06:38
Also, it doesn't really feel like something that I would say is eternal in our closets.
00:06:43
What I really enjoyed about seeing feathers on the runways this season was it really felt like an ode to getting dressed up.
00:06:49
It felt like an ode to seeing interesting fashion that's thought provoking and creative and might not be the thing that we need to add to our closets off the bat.
00:07:01
What I will say about it is that the way that it was incorporated into some looks got my wheel spinning.
00:07:06
At the Chanel show there was a classic tweed black skirt suit with white stripes and there were white feathers on the collar and white feathers on the cuff.
00:07:15
Something else that I saw a lot of during this fashion week was this kind of accentuated white collar and whether it was feathers at Chanel or this beautiful kind of ruffled silk organza underneath a navy suit jacket at McQueen,
00:07:31
I really feel like this contrast collar moment is something that we can pull away from feathers that feels attainable and accessible and wearable.
00:07:41
I saw a lot of contrast collars and in case you're not familiar with that term, it's basically when you have a contrast lapel or collar on a blazer.
00:07:49
So think black blazer with a bright white collar or lapel.
00:07:54
I saw it at Louis Vuitton, I saw it at Scaperelli, I saw it at McQueen as I mentioned before, I saw it at Valentino, I saw it at Alessandra Rich.
00:08:03
There was a very big emphasis this season on the contrast collar and I absolutely love that aesthetic.
00:08:11
I have a blazer that I've worn on Instagram when I've shared it before and it's a vintage muggler blazer that is gray with a white contrast collar, I absolutely love this,
00:08:21
it's a classic in my wardrobe, I wear it all the time with black pants, gray pants, jeans, and it's just a very elevated sophisticated look.
00:08:29
I also think that there is something very useful and playful to that white pop of a collar.
00:08:35
It's very mu mu inspired, it's very proud and inspired.
00:08:38
And so all to say that my first styling recommendation from Paris is a contrast collar.
00:08:43
If you want to do feathers, you absolutely can, I'm not recommending it, but if you would like to do it, by all means.
00:08:49
So a few contrast collar ideas, one, if you're willing to splurge, I recommend going on essence, looking up Shushu Tongue, they have a black retro lapel coat that is around $900 and it's painfully chic,
00:09:02
very proud of Mimiu inspired and that's a perfect way to do this.
00:09:06
My more affordable recommendation and a brand that I think is known for that contrast collar is Sandro.
00:09:12
I love Sandro, especially by the way, if you guys go to Europe, shop at Sandro.
00:09:16
It's so good in Europe and I always end up getting so many things there because they just have great classics for the wardrobe.
00:09:23
They have a knit cardigan that's $307 with a detachable collar.
00:09:27
So if you want to just wear this like really cute burgundy cardigan, you can, but there's this also very cute like rouged white collar.
00:09:35
It is a very reminiscent of everything I saw in the runways and you can take it on and off for the moments where you want to feel a little bit more entrant and for the moments where you don't.
00:09:43
Again, that's $370 and on the Sandro website.
00:09:47
And best part of all, I actually think that this is something you can so easily nail at home.
00:09:52
All you need is a white button down and any color blazer you want.
00:09:56
I would just pop the collar of the white button down outside of your blazer on top of the lapel and before you know it, you've got a contrast collar.
00:10:04
Take it a step further, throw on some pearls and you're really giving Mimiu because they've done that for the last two seasons now.
00:10:10
Live.
00:10:11
Okay.
00:10:12
The next thing I saw a long necklace that sits like right between your busts, kind of almost like right above your belly button.
00:10:17
And I feel like this is making a comeback because if you've listened to the show, I've talked a lot about Elsa Freddie at Tiffany and Co, making a major comeback with the bean necklace that she has.
00:10:27
This is a really vintage style that they're putting a lot of marketing and to bring it back.
00:10:32
And the Elsa Freddie collection was very well known for this beat like giant silver bean necklace that was really long and also sat in the center of the chest.
00:10:41
And this season, I saw a very similar aesthetic to that at Chanel, Chloe, and Saint Laurent.
00:10:47
At Saint Laurent, one of my favorite looks was this beautiful black flowy dress with a deep plunging V neckline with a leather jacket paired over it, aviator sunglasses, and these two layered long necklaces,
00:10:59
one that hit right between the bust and one that hit at the belly button.
00:11:03
And I felt the necklace is really defined it and I think this is going to be the accessory styling moment of the season.
00:11:09
I think you can play with it too.
00:11:11
I think you can go for really chunky jewelry like the Saint Laurent moment, but I also think you can do it the way that Chloe did it, which was very, very delicate with more dainty style jewelry layered on top of each other of their quintessential boho chic look.
00:11:25
I preferred it the way that Chloe styled it, which was again, another black dress moment with one long gold necklace that had a few chains at the bottom and sat a little bit below the bust.
00:11:36
And again, about the belly button.
00:11:37
I liked that like single moment.
00:11:39
I don't really like a lot of like layers or like chunky jewelry.
00:11:42
I thought this was just like perfectly refined.
00:11:45
You could do this at home so easily.
00:11:47
I really like a necklace when there's something framing it.
00:11:52
So for example, I would wear it with a white tea and a blazer over it and really giving that necklace the room to shine or I would do a button down cardigan and again,
00:12:03
let the long necklace kind of sit between the buttons there.
00:12:06
I don't really love it with just like a sweater or a t-shirt where there's nothing kind of framing the area and adding to that moment.
00:12:14
Chloe did it with a very sheer top with lace trimming and I think that worked because the lace trimming kind of complemented the length of the necklace.
00:12:22
But again, make sure you're giving it kind of that placement, like make sure you're giving it the frame to sit in.
00:12:27
As I mentioned earlier in this episode, it felt like a lot of designers were trying to find their footing.
00:12:32
And when designers are doing that, they often reference vintage styles because they know that's the thing that works.
00:12:38
It's almost like the back-to-basics mentality, like what's the thing that we know that works?
00:12:42
What's the thing that we know sells?
00:12:44
And what's that thing that almost feels nostalgic?
00:12:47
And the thing this season was polka dots.
00:12:50
It was on the runways at Valentino, Christopher Ezzber, Nina Ricci, and even Connor Ives.
00:12:55
And again, that makes a lot of sense for Nina Ricci and Valentino.
00:12:59
Two brands that have new designers at the helm.
00:13:02
Harris Read is the creative director of Nina Ricci as of last year, and Alessandra McAlley at Valentino as of this year.
00:13:09
Two designers that are both kind of trying to find their footing and solidify their moment at the house.
00:13:15
Personally, I love polka dots.
00:13:16
It feels really feminine and beautiful.
00:13:18
I think someone who does polka dots really well, Nora Smith.
00:13:21
I feel like I've seen her in a plethora of beautiful polka dot dresses that feel really vintage-inspired, which is super true to her.
00:13:29
I would say, honestly, if we're going to do polka dots, do it in a dress.
00:13:33
I can also see it in a beautiful button down with jeans, but I wouldn't recommend it in any other element in your closet.
00:13:40
If you're going for a polka dot dress, the one that Nora Smith you often see her in with a beautiful collar is from Alessandra Rich.
00:13:47
Definitely an investment dress.
00:13:48
It's over $2,000, but if you're looking for that piece that you're going to have forever, I highly recommend that one.
00:13:54
I feel like Nora has made that dress like a staple on her social media.
00:13:59
And then also a more affordable version.
00:14:01
LPA has a beautiful one on Revolve.
00:14:04
If you guys follow Serena Carrigan, she just posted it and she wore it over a weekend where she had two backpack weddings, one in LA on Saturday night, one in New York on Sunday night, and she wore it to both weddings,
00:14:15
wore it on the plane, freshened up when she got to New York and did a double, double wedding weekend.
00:14:20
And that dress looked so perfect in both contexts.
00:14:23
It's just like a perfect go to dress you'll have in your closet forever.
00:14:27
They currently only have it available on Revolve in the mini in black, but there's a really cute brown one available in a bit more of a midi length on Revolve.
00:14:35
I actually think the mini is so cute, especially as we're going into fall.
00:14:38
If you're looking for a good like going out outfit, which is the bane of my existence, I hate going out outfits.
00:14:47
My best friend had her 30th birthday last weekend.
00:14:47
It was so much fun.
00:14:48
But all of my girlfriends were texting each other right before being like, what do we wear?
00:14:53
What do we wear to this kind of thing?
00:14:55
I wore a black T and jeans and sneakers because I wanted to have fun.
00:14:58
But if you are going out with your girlfriends, I'm sure you guys all have similar conversations of what the hell do I wear?
00:15:05
And I think this LPA posted on a mini with like a big leather jacket and pumps is a very cute, comfortable A plus outfit.
00:15:13
While we're on the note of new collections and collaborations, a quick shout out to today's sponsor of the podcast, Scotch and soda, I have loved this brand for so long.
00:15:22
They're a brand based in Amsterdam in case you haven't heard of them before.
00:15:25
And what I love is that everything they design is really inspired by that optimism and free spirit of their hometown.
00:15:32
They champion individuality, authenticity, and the power of self-expression and create amazing wardrobe pieces that feel different and unique.
00:15:40
They blend unexpected fabrics and patterns with classic techniques, reflecting on an artistic view of fashion.
00:15:48
Their mission is to bring joy and inspire their customers' celebrate life and their global community together.
00:15:53
And very exciting news, they just dropped their first collaboration with Joe Jonas.
00:15:57
It's a collection that fuses Scotch and soda's distinctive style with Joe's playful, sartorial approach, including bold colors, prints and textures with really high quality fabrics and premium tailoring.
00:16:10
It's a mix of men's and unisex clothing, accessories, and it all encompasses Joe's confident approach to style.
00:16:16
I can see a lot of inspiration from the American West, the '70s, vintage Americana.
00:16:22
And actually there's a lot of Joe's personal photography and writings in the capsule.
00:16:26
It's really cool and unique.
00:16:27
You guys should definitely check it out.
00:16:28
You can shop the brand at www.scotchandsoda.com and the Scotch and soda Joe Jonas collection is now available at Scotchandsoda.com as well in the EU and the US and select retailers.

Before we continue with our conversation today, a quick thank you to our sponsor of today's episode.
00:16:52
Houghton.
00:16:53
Houghton's the fabric of now campaign is challenging everyone to make the natural choice.
00:16:58
To give yourself enough room to breathe so that you can be more intentional in your everyday life and in what you wear.
00:17:04
To me, Houghton as a fabric, it just feels like a giant hug.
00:17:09
It's the thing that I go towards every single morning when I'm getting ready to tackle my day because it's the thing that makes me feel most like myself.
00:17:16
It feels like a second skin.
00:17:18
Plus, it goes really well with everything in my closet and just makes dressing the breeze.
00:17:23
It's breathable and soft and comfortable and honestly, it feels like doing that thing that you need to do for yourself to get grounded after maybe say a really hectic month.
00:17:33
For me, that's going out in nature.
00:17:35
And whatever it is for you, it's that feeling of getting back to yourself.
00:17:39
I love to go out in nature, put my phone away, leave my laptop at home, be with my loved ones and totally unwind.
00:17:46
I feel completely recharged after I do those weekends and it feels so natural for me.
00:17:51
It feels so good to leave those things behind and just get to the center of myself.
00:17:55
Maybe read a good book, play a couple of board games.
00:17:58
That's really when I feel like my most self.
00:18:00
And it's the same way that I feel when I'm wearing Houghton.
00:18:03
So Houghton is asking all of us to recharge in your own way.
00:18:06
Maybe that means putting your phone down for a few hours a day or just going out with your friends for the night and being really present.
00:18:11
Whatever it is, you do you.
00:18:13
Find that thing that feels natural and makes you feel good.
00:18:15
Houghton is the natural choice, discover the fabric of now at the fabric of our lives.com.
00:18:20
Okay, moving on to the color of the season, which very surprised to see it still have its moment in the sun.
00:18:27
It's been going way longer than I thought and that's butter yellow.
00:18:30
I feel like butter yellow became really popular in like spring, summer.
00:18:35
It became the neutral that like everybody was comfortable with.
00:18:38
Everyone was like, okay, like I'm done with the red and the Valentino pink.
00:18:42
What's like a color that feels safe, that also kind of blends into neutrals.
00:18:48
And butter yellow really became that color a few months ago.
00:18:52
So I was so surprised to see it on the runways at so many big shows.
00:18:58
And as focal point looks, like not just a cute little yellow sweater, but full dresses.
00:19:03
I saw it at Valentino in a two-piece skirt suit, Belenciaga, which is notoriously known for like black and like blue and like bright colors.
00:19:12
Had a beautiful butter yellow dress.
00:19:14
Chanel of course loves to use butter yellow.
00:19:17
McQueen, Chloe, Louis Vey, everybody had butter yellow on the runway.
00:19:21
And I've seen a lot of reports still that red is the color of the season, but personally, I feel like red's never going to go out of style.
00:19:29
Red is that color that people will turn to forever to feel confident and stand out.
00:19:34
It's never going to be a trending color like a yellow or a pink or an emerald green.
00:19:39
Red to me is always going to be in the fold.
00:19:41
It's never going to go away.
00:19:42
So I'm trying to stay away from telling you guys that red is the trending color because I just think it's always going to be here.
00:19:47
I also will say, of course, burgundy is the color right now in this moment for fall.
00:19:53
I'm seeing it everywhere, burgundy nails, burgundy bags, burgundy shoes.
00:19:57
We talked about this on the 10 things you need for fall episode.
00:20:01
But for next seasons, spring summer 2025, I think butter yellow is still going to be the thing.
00:20:08
I would say if you're looking to incorporate it into your wardrobe to cute little ways, same thing as the polka dots.
00:20:15
I have a little j-crew cropped sweater that is a butter yellow that is absolutely perfect and I actually replace as a neutral all the time.
00:20:24
It is the cashmere shrunken crew next sweater in sunflower sands.
00:20:29
And I've worn it with denim on denim, like a Canadian texedo.
00:20:33
I've worn it with jeans.
00:20:34
I've worn it with black pants.
00:20:36
I love just that little touch of warmth.
00:20:39
And it's a very easy way for someone to be like, oh, you're so stylish.
00:20:42
Like that's such a cool choice that little yellow sweater.
00:20:45
So I love that.
00:20:46
It's $118.
00:20:47
It's such a good buy.
00:20:48
I wear it all the time.
00:20:50
If you are going to fall weddings or like any way that's warm, usually I wouldn't recommend a yellow dress, but I will say that I feel like it's kind of everywhere right now.
00:21:00
Look how to me, which is designed by Mariana Hewitt on revolve has a beautiful yellow dress right now that actually has like an off the shoulder long sleeve.
00:21:09
So I think it could work for a fall wedding and you would definitely be on trend.
00:21:12
It's the Cassia gown and it's $278 in case you guys are looking for it.
00:21:16
And yet, a dance wore a beautiful like butter yellow, the way they dress to my wedding.
00:21:21
And it was one of my favorite dresses worn.
00:21:23
It's just such a happy color moving right along.
00:21:25
There was another styling moment that came up this season that I saw last season in kind of a different form.
00:21:33
And that is double layered skirts.
00:21:36
I have to say the midsection like the belly button area is very hot real estate.
00:21:43
I feel like in fashion right now.
00:21:45
I remember last season at Stella McCartney.
00:21:47
She had black tights layered underneath her suit pants and the top waistline of tights were showing above the belly button and then the pants dropped right below it.
00:21:58
And that double layering moment I loved and have seen in so many places.
00:22:04
Same thing this season.
00:22:05
I've seen a lot of double layered skirts, especially with a sheer skirt and something a little bit less sheer underneath.
00:22:12
Our mes did it, Saint Laurent did it and at Robon too, so many layers.
00:22:17
And I've really enjoyed seeing this because I feel like this year we've had a big moment of sheer skirts, right, you know, a big sweater with a sheer skirt underneath or a sheer skirt with a blazer that kind of covers all the areas it needs to cover.
00:22:29
But I've been waiting for kind of that styling moment that feels a little bit more permanent where we can continue to kind of have these like sheer organza elements without having to kind of over style it.
00:22:42
And I really loved seeing, especially at Hermes, there was a mini skirt underneath a sheer long skirt over it.
00:22:51
And I loved aesthetically how that looked, especially when at your midsection the two skirts weren't on top of each other and you could kind of see the hemline of both.
00:22:59
Hermes had of course an Hermes belt there, which you know was the cherry on top, but I think you could even do it without.
00:23:05
If double layering a skirt or wearing tights under a pair of suit pants isn't your thing, totally fine.
00:23:11
It feels like a lot of layers, I also will say it feels quite editorial, meaning it's not practical for everyday life.
00:23:18
You might be fidgeting with it, making sure it's like perfectly layered, and I totally get that.
00:23:23
But I wouldn't be surprised if we see more things come out in the next couple of months that have that like sneaky double layer to it that have as a styling moment.
00:23:32
Very easy solved to this.
00:23:33
Again, if you're not someone who wants to deal with all those layers, the other double layer thing that I saw in our midsection was doubling belts.
00:23:42
Mew you had two silver belts layered on top of each other and I think a very easy way to do this at home is taking two of your belts, looping them into each other and just having that double belt moment right at the waist.
00:23:54
You can either layer them on top of each other or make one a little bit looser than the other and have the looser one dangle right below it.
00:24:00
On the mango website right now, there is a $26 belt.
00:24:04
It's the buckle skinny belt and it's actually styled double as well.
00:24:06
If you guys need a visual reference point, you can go check that out on mango right now.
00:24:10
It seems like they're just criss-crossed over each other.
00:24:13
But if you also just want to not deal, there is a double buckle belt on raw flooring.
00:24:17
That's $115.
00:24:19
It comes in black.
00:24:20
It comes in brown and it's just a double double on top of each other.
00:24:23
I think this would look great over a dress or maybe a big sweater or if you wanted to keep it super casual over a pair of jeans.
00:24:30
I actually liked the way Mew you had it the best, which was over a really long coat and they had two really different belts, which I thought was really cool.
00:24:37
Actually, the look that Hillary Swank wore because she was wearing a pot and leather brown coat.
00:24:42
She had a brown belt around the waistline and then a silver kind of like chunky floral hoop belt draped right below it.
00:24:50
That I think is really cool and I think the easiest way for us to do something fun with double belts this winter, throw it over your coat, call it a day.
00:24:58
Just know that you're probably not going to be taking off that coat because the double belt will be probably really annoying.
00:25:03
Next up, let's talk about the return of the hot pant.
00:25:07
How do you guys feel about hot pants?
00:25:08
I have never worn a hot pant in my life personally.
00:25:11
I just feel naked.
00:25:13
I do.
00:25:14
And also, I'm not a tights person.
00:25:16
I grew up dancing.
00:25:17
I was in tights every single day for 18 years and I can't even look at a pair of tights now.
00:25:23
It takes a lot for you to put me in a tight.
00:25:25
Like I have to close my eyes.
00:25:26
I have to take a deep breath.
00:25:28
It gives me the PBGB's.
00:25:29
I'm just, it doesn't sit on my skin well anymore.
00:25:32
So already, I feel like hot pants are not my thing.
00:25:37
If you guys don't know what a hot pant is, it's like a very short short, a super short like 80s inspired short short, but I did see them a ton this fashion month.
00:25:47
They were on the runway at Chanel and Daisy Edgar Jones wore them at the Gucci show as well.
00:25:52
I think what's really interesting about the hot pant this season is that hot pants are usually in a very sexy context.
00:26:01
It's usually with like a crop top or a brawl, which is what Daisy Edgar Jones wore to the show.
00:26:06
But nothing this season to me has felt overtly sexy.
00:26:11
For example, last season, Saint Laurent basically said free the nipple and had everybody in sheer clothing.
00:26:17
This season was incredibly covered up.
00:26:21
All suits, multiple layers, long flowy dresses with leather jackets.
00:26:27
There was nothing even reminiscent of oozing sex in any way in this collection.
00:26:32
There were a slight hints of it here and there, but nothing really like I've seen in the past where I've just been like, wow, that's really hot.
00:26:38
And it made me think about this moment where obviously you've got designers at new houses who are really looking to prove themselves and make their name in house and sell product.
00:26:48
Does sex still sell?
00:26:49
I think it does, but maybe it's not the risk that brands are trying to take right now.
00:26:54
And actually maybe the coolest thing about this moment is maybe we're redefining what sexy feels like.
00:27:00
Maybe sexy right now feels like full suiting hair in your bun, big glosses moment.
00:27:05
I think that's really exciting.
00:27:07
And I think that's really exciting to see in fashion.
00:27:09
A lot of the hot pants that we saw at Chanel were knit and paired with other knits.
00:27:12
So it feels quite toned down and again, not overtly sexy.
00:27:17
But I think that could be a really fun opportunity for us to style it.
00:27:21
Maybe a little bit differently.
00:27:22
I do feel like the hot pant has had like different iterations.
00:27:24
I remember two years ago, the Prada mini-scort moment that everybody was dying over.
00:27:29
I feel like that was its own iteration.
00:27:32
And I do feel like maybe this like knit hot pant moment is now the season's iteration of it.
00:27:37
There are quite a few on revolve right now.
00:27:38
I'm going to link them all gray, black, a ton.
00:27:41
There's also if you are someone who still loved that like Prada-scort moment, where it was the shorts that poked out underneath of the skirt.
00:27:48
Again, a lot of moments where the layering is the styling of it, mage sells a pair on socks.
00:27:54
It's like a crape skirt short under $300.
00:27:57
And I still think that's really cute if you're someone who wants a little bit more coverage with the short short.
00:28:01
I really like the idea of wearing like a gray hot pant hot short, whatever we want to call it, with like a big oversized blazer and a tee, like maybe out to drinks with friends.
00:28:12
That feels really fun to me and something that I could accomplish and feel good with and not have to wear tights.
00:28:16
Okay, nearing the end here, let's talk about the shoes at the season.
00:28:18
I think there are two.
00:28:20
I'm thrilled, elated, ecstatic to say that flats are persevering.
00:28:25
As someone with back problems, I was thrilled to see them everywhere.
00:28:28
Dior, which had a huge emphasis on athletic wear, loved all the flats there, acne, mu- mu, Valentino.
00:28:35
There were flats in abundance and in so many different forums, a ballet flat, a really fun kind of like lace up flat, flats with bows, and of course Mary James.
00:28:46
I get so many of you still asking me if Mary James are the thing we should be, should we be getting them.
00:28:52
And I'm pleased to say, yes, I think that they're going to be in style for a really long time.
00:28:56
I actually do not think they're going to go out of style.
00:28:59
I think they went out of style for a while while we were in like the early 2000s, Y2K era.
00:29:04
But I do think Mary James are here to stay.
00:29:07
If you go on my shop, my I actually have an entire edit of Mary James.
00:29:11
If you're looking for your right pair and I took so much time with that edit, I literally have them in every single color and like fabric on there.
00:29:18
So I've got you guys covered.
00:29:20
And there's also a video on my Instagram Reels of how to style them.
00:29:24
If you're looking for ways to style, a black pair, a red pair, or even a tweed pair, I've also got you covered on there.
00:29:30
So we're keeping it flat, guys.
00:29:32
I'm very excited.
00:29:33
But if you are a heel girl, like me, this might my back.
00:29:36
I love my heels.
00:29:37
I wear them everywhere.
00:29:38
I had these loafers that I was going to wear to the Hermes show and I was like, nope, I need my heel.
00:29:42
They make me feel good.
00:29:43
But like little height and they give me that pep in my stuff.
00:29:46
I am loving the curved heel trend.
00:29:49
If you saw the Tory birch show this year, almost every single person, including myself, who was sitting front row at the show, was wearing the Tory birch pierced heel.
00:29:58
And that heel has a curved heel that actually in my opinion makes the heel more comfortable.
00:30:05
It's not as high of a pitch and it's easier on your arches.
00:30:08
So if you are someone again who loves a heel like me, but should be in a flat, these are a really good alternative for you.
00:30:15
And they're definitely trending right now.
00:30:17
If you like those pierced pumps from Tory birch, they're a black curved heel pump with this really cool like silver pierced motif on the front.
00:30:26
They're on the website right now.
00:30:27
I have them in black and I love them.
00:30:29
They're really cool to wear with just like jeans and a black sweater.
00:30:32
Like if you have last minute plans and you're like, what do I wear?
00:30:35
But I want to feel really cool and elevated.
00:30:37
These are the perfect solves because they're stylish, but are its own moment, so you need nothing else with it.
00:30:43
They have them in black and they also have them in this like burnt sienna red and they're on the website.
00:30:48
They're $468, so an investment shoe, but I loved wearing them.
00:30:53
And again, they're their own moment.
00:30:55
But I also have seen them at Chloe, Jill Sander and Zara has some really affordable options that are even lower than the pierced pump.
00:31:03
If you want something that is for purely comfort, but with a little bit of a heel.
00:31:08
Okay.
00:31:09
Those are my styling moments for you guys.
00:31:10
There's one more that I have to say that I think was the most stand-out styling moment for me because it felt really original.
00:31:17
I haven't seen something like it in a while.
00:31:19
It's not going to be for everybody, but I need to get it off my chest because I thought it was just so cool.
00:31:24
At the Victoria Beckham show, she had a set of looks go down the runway identical looks one in like a beige neutral and one in black.
00:31:31
The top was like a skin type mesh paired with this beautiful silk chiffon skirt.
00:31:38
And the bag was the thing that caught my attention.
00:31:41
And something I actually might buy from Etsy just to give it a try.
00:31:46
The bag was a classic black Victoria Beckham bag that was inside of an organza-like silk tote bag.
00:31:56
It was very cool.
00:31:58
The organza tote bag was a like peachy nude that matched the skirt.
00:32:03
And then of course, because the bag was black underneath, you could see right through it and see the bag.
00:32:07
But it was just this really cool styling moment that I actually would love to try.
00:32:13
I have not been able to find the organza tote anywhere.
00:32:16
I don't see it on the website.
00:32:17
I think it was just a styling moment for the show, which always drives me a little nuts.
00:32:21
But I did find a few of them on Etsy, so just go on there and look up organza tote if you want to try it yourself.
00:32:26
I would try like a light colored organza with like a dark colored bag underneath so you can see through it.
00:32:31
But I just thought this was very original, very fun.
00:32:35
I think that you could even do with like a bunch of little bags in there, like if you want to carry the organza tote and then put like a makeup bag or, you know, a bag with like your charger or anything like that and let the little bags in there be the moment.
00:32:47
I think that's really fun and different and something I definitely am looking forward to wearing next spring.
00:32:52
Victoria Beckham is one of those brands that I just really look forward to the show every season.
00:32:57
She's obviously had such a meteoric rise and really like carved out a solid place for herself in the fashion industry, especially as a brand based in London to come and show up in Paris and have such a moment.
00:33:07
I'm always very excited to see her collections and even last season was very impressed by the unique styling moments that this moment also for me, I think, took the cake in terms of originality for this season.
00:33:20
As I mentioned, everything I said is going to be linked on my shotmey.
00:33:23
So if you're like, I can't find this thing, go check it out there.
00:33:27
It's linked in the description of this episode.
00:33:29

00:33:46
So every Saturday morning, I will post and ask me anything, open question box on my stories and you guys can put anything in there from, hey, I have a wedding in October, help me figure out what to wear.
00:33:57
This is my budget.
00:33:58
This is my vibe to even questions like what my favorite loafers at the season are or how do I style a buttery yellow dress?
00:34:04
I'm so here for you guys.
00:34:05
I love doing those on the weekends.
00:34:07

I hope you guys love today's episode.
00:34:21
This is always so much fun to do, so much inspiration, so many new ideas that keep my wheels turning of how to keep my wardrobe fresh and interesting.
00:34:29
And what I love about a lot of these ideas is they're not going to break the bank.
00:34:33
They're things that we can already do at home.
00:34:35
Maybe it's layering two skirts that we have or two belts that we have or even styling a white button down and a blazer a little bit differently than we have in the past.
00:34:43
As always, if you like what you hear, please go leave a review on the podcast page.
