Racing stripe needed for brisk fall mornings
Great warm sweater. The details of the garnet strip and slightly flared 3/4 sleeves earn d lots of compliments. Wool-cashmere blend isn't itchy. And the neck isn't as high so no real static sling on the hair to worry about. Paired it with the B.B. Dakota gray puffy vest and some light gloves on brisker days around town and on vacation. I liked wearing this even more than I liked the three compliments a day I got wearing it.

Perfect near bucket tote for quick changes & getting down to business
Love Shinola and loved this bag. Fit iPad, phone, sunglasses, gloves, etc…. Side pockets to store supplies for quick touch ups and a bit of cash. Lightweight, not heavy like other leather bags. The piece de resistance was the built in keychain. I never lost my keys for two weeks because I just fished them out with that leather strap with a spring hook on the end to ensure it! Love it in black, now want it in spruce.

Devill's in the details; makes great cocktailing top
Incredibly cute, though I don’t get that elastic waist Kinda seemed to cut me off into a square. Top does attract lint like a moth to a flame. Kept a Flint in my bag when wearing. But I Loved the cape sleeves and the ruffles--not as big of a challenge as I thought. I also liked how true a black the fabric is. Fabric has some weight to it-i wore it to dinner in Nova Scotia in November and was fine with just a coast on top.

I loved this dress. It's cool that the fabric seemed to me cut so there were flowers right at the crew neckline, giving you an auto-necklace. I will definitely rent again. But, I will size up from 42-44. Valentine RED runs small. My bust was a little suffocated. I wore it multiple times since I was in Italy and had packed lightly in order to shop heavily. 1. alone on the 80 degree day. 2. With subtle dots tights on a fall like day in Tuscan vineyards 3. With black cigarette jeans slightly rolled to ankles under and some black Spanish loafers at Lake Maggiore. Very versatile.

Stepped off the plane in Milan looking fly
A worthy and cool travel companion indeed. Sweats way upgraded. Wore this top all over my wedding anniversary celebration in the North of Italy. Really wanted to be on theme. Dress casual or add an edge. I wear this with black cigarette pants and motorcycle boots. Blue skinny jeans, light and dark, and high-top Adidas or drivers. You can't tell but in the photo I have on navy wide leg ankle pants and brown slip-on sneakers. Be advised, the small is quite small. It you like a roomier effect in your sweats, size up. Otherwise, you get used to a fitted sweat.

Lady in red in Lake Como
Really loved this sweetheart neckline jumpsuit that really flatters a small-med bust. It has form, the one cuff sleeve, and function-no problem feeling constricted on left side. Made of synthetic materials for those concerned about naturals wrinkling quickly. This arrived in Italy with about 3 "creases" that easily relaxed with the help of my travels steamer. I am 5'4" and wore 3.5" heels, which kept me walking comfortably around Varenna on my wedding anniversary , as well as the legs from bunching and dragging. Only non-positives are: need smoothing garments & hook and eye closure is flimsy.
