between seasons: best basics.

Who else gets entirely enticed when spring editorials start hitting your gmail? (my creative favorites// ShopBop and Barneys). The ambiance of winter is totally exciting for a quick second, but the warm weather fashion eventually makes you wish for change. So...to make those transition months way more appealing, purchase a few sweaters, shirts, and tees that you will adore + will carry you over to the next season. Here are some of my go-to favorites. The all look great under a warm jacket, over a stellar pair of jeans paired a beanie, or with office-appropriate pants and a fabulous pump.

1. Velvet Cowl Neck Dress 2. Topshop Crepe Tunic 3. James Perse Dolman Sleeve Top 4. Zoe Karssen Bat Hoodie 5. Feel The Piece Finch Top 6. Splendid Long Sleeve Jersey Tee

Your Next Partner in Crime: The Jerome Dreyfuss Tote

I spy something pretty and leopard. Yes, it's a new handbag by the emerging Jerome Dreyfuss (where have you been all of our lives?). Just imagine walking to an office meeting with this lovely carry all. Business appointments just got bumped up a few notches on the exciting train. Can you picture a lunch extravaganza with this match-with-any-outfit tote? A mid-day meal never looked so good.How can you resist this leopard print pony hair small tote? More dreamy details: Gold-tone hardware, top snap closure and side zips for expansion. Is it just me, or is there something about compartments that makes a bag worth buying? More on the inside scoop: it has a cotton lined interior with zipper pocket and a detachable leather key fob with compact brass-tone flashlight attached (how handy!). Buy this dose of luxury at Net-a-Porter. Here's the purchase link. Swoon.
