    The Flex is the Seasoned Mix (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    Fall officially starts tomorrow. Happy times! Before I dive into the topic of this newsletter, if you are in NYC on the evening of October 1st, please come see me and Michelle Boor of Micky Paris at the studio of artist Grimanesa Amorós. Maybe you want a voile tuxedo shirt for the holidays like I do, which means, you need to come have a cocktail and get measured! Plus, it’s always fun to visit an artist’s studio. I haven’t met Grimanesa yet and am looking forward to the evening. (You must RSVP f

    My Short List: What I Bought for Fall (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    I am always overly eager to move into Fall, it is my favorite season—for the weather, the anticipation of getting back into the swing of things, and pulling out the blazers, jeans, and cashmere sweaters.

    Before I begin this post, a reminder that I will be at Manolo Blahnik in East Hampton this Thursday and Friday. I hope you will come say hello! (I am going to try to make money and not spend it all, tall order.)<img alt="" class="sizing-normal" height="900" src="http
