Summer's all about a relaxed look, and for me, a lightweight blazer is my fast track to effortlessly chic. Throw one on with a pair of jeans and a tee, and I am good to go. With shorts and blouse? Sure, why not? I'm telling you a summer blazer adds the perfect amount of polish--and fashion cred--to any outfit. I like these by Mango, Theory (similar to above and below), Frame, Joie, and Tibi.

Here's some good breaking news this Monday morning: All just-in fall and fantastic pieces are on sale at Shopbop (save 15% off $200+, 20% off $500+, 25% off $800+), including the Aeyde ankle booties, above, the wide-leg Anine Bing jeans and jacket, below, the knit Baum und Pferdgarten knit set, second to last pic. Also amazing: these Nili Lotan jeans, this BlankNYC quilted jacket, this SAM sherpa jacket, this Rails denim skirt, this perfect white James Perse t-shirt, and this Still Here…

I identify as a New Yorker (and always will!) but I moonlight as a native Angeleno in my car. I'm know how to get across the 405 during rush hour, am fluent in yellow-curb restrictions--and can get dressed for a black tie in the back seat. All of which may explain my deep appreciation for Blanca Miro Scrimieri's aptitude for "car-fit" selfies. Somehow she makes her outfits and sitting in her car look thoroughly glamorous--a skill I have to yet to learn! At least I can sport some of the chic…

Le Catch's Marlien Rentmeester, along with her sister Coliena, try out our Pink Book to help them unload some gorgeous vintage goodies.

Paris-based creative director Anne-Laure Mais's interpretation of fall casual boasts a distinctly French-chic accent. Which I'd like to adopt! Thankfully, her style is pretty easy to emulate with these anchor pieces: a print puffer jacket (like the Perfect Moment, above, this Rag & Bone and this Tory Burch); cropped Levi's jeans; a cute faux fur-lined Claude Pierlot vest (or this), and slightly oversized knits (this, this and this).

Since the day I was born, I've always had two closets: mine and my identical twin sister's. To this day, I still borrow (and, okay, sometimes steal) pieces from her wardrobe and vice versa. It's an uniquely awesome arrangement, dependent upon our exact-same size, height, and, for the most part, similar style. It's fun to see Danish twin models Amalie and Cecilie Moosgard, pictured here, doing the same thing. Although I can't tell them apart (LOL!), I can clearly discern their mutual fondness…

These are the best classic outfits to have in your arsenal. Shop them here.

I'm so excited to host a cooking class for friends later this month focused on holiday cooking hacks with Thea Baumann, chef/former Goop food editor and co-author of Gwyneth Paltrow's It's All Easy. (Think filling side dishes like roasted winter squash with gremolata--yum!) For holiday dressing hacks, I'm looking to Leandra Cohen, above, who cleverly spruces up jeans and a blouse with exuberantly-festive shoes. Hello, sparkles! Any of these by Badgley Mishka (similar to above), Schutz, Sam…
