This & That | 7.9
Breezy summer sets, Celine baguettes, Phoebe Philo at McMullen Boutique, what's in my Amazon Prime Day cart and more!
Friends it’s a really good day (and not because it’s Amazon Prime Day) ~ I’m headed to my root touch-up! Don’t you just feel refreshed and like a new person after that hair appointment?!
A quick hello from the past couple of days with a few looks and saves from my week… oh and a preview of the latest Phoebe Philo collection!
Top & Skirt (more sizes: top, skirt and there’s also a dress version). Sandals.
My ideal breezy summer set! I like that these pieces can be worn as separates or together. I found this Rachel Comey set when popping into McMullen on Sacramento St. for a preview of the latest Phoebe Philo collection… um, how cool that McMullen will now carry Phoebe Philo!!? So major for Sherri!, and San Francisco! When you’re Pac Heights next be sure to pop in because they’re getting more of the collection in the next couple of weeks and early pre-fall is rolling in too.
I will forever be an Old Celine, Phoebe super fan ~ but previously her past few collections just haven’t done much for me. Finally this Collection C feels a bit more wearable. The leathers are beyond buttery / gorgeous, the bag sizes not quite as oversized as they looked online… even on someone who is 5’1’’ I would carry them… and the fit / quality / feel of the denim is incredible. So soft and that perfectly loose baggy straight leg. It’s worth popping into McMullen to browse in person for sure!
Sherri’s edit and eye just always inspires me!
I really love these silver mini hoops! And below, I can’t say no to Arsicault Bakery’s pastries. That morning bun!!! … and Tartine.
I wore this dreamy lace dress (all sizes here) yesterday (with a leather jacket). I mentioned previously but there’s a shorter version of this dress too (and it comes in a pretty floral, more sizes!).
This Rachel Comey dress gives me a similar feel.
Okay, speaking of Rachel Comey… I spiraled down a little rabbit hole…
… and all of these looks are speaking to me!! 1, 2, 3, 4
This dress would also be so good under a leather jacket. Very me! One of those dresses where the beaded and lace details are just so much better in person than online and the vibe is so much cooler in person as well ~ as seen styled on Rachel Comey’s site rather than on Shopbop but linking both places for you. I like the idea of wearing it with a red heel or bag too.
Okay and lastly, from Rachel Comey, the ideal linen summer skirt for the office.
Let’s just drool over this shoe situation at McMullen! I’ve said it before but if I could raid anyone’s closet it would be Sherri’s! She’s currently in Paris this month and her stories have been so fun to follow along… from her buying appointments to the runway shows and of course, what she’s wearing.
A few other saves / links for you…
Speaking of Old Celine and Phoebe ~ I have to say I was not feeling Michael Rider’s runway debut for Celine this week in Paris. I did however screenshot these cute Celine paper wrapped sandwiches (!!!)… and this mens look which just felt the most wearable for my real life.
For anyone shopping the Amazon Prime Day sales ~ my face wash and cleansing oil of choice are included.
My Amazon jellies have proven to be a most worn pair again this summer for grassy outings, concerts and with my kids (I wear my true size ~ and own in clear and pink).
Speaking of skincare, this face mask has been my go-to after a day in the dry heat this month. Instantly hydrating and brightening. Highly recommend!! 111Skin masks are pricey but worth the splurge! *my code for 111Skin is: ALICIA15SM
From the Dôen Warehouse Sale ~ now a bit picked over but I’d snag this summer linen blazer (runs oversized), this dress or this one for a beach getaway (I’m surprised all sizes are still available!), and pjs for the little girls in your life.
This Dôen tunic that I’ve linked before gives a similar feel to the Rachel Comey set. And can easily be worn to both the beach and city (with elevated sandals and a leather jacket as well).
I finally bit the bullet on these cat eye sunglasses after including them in almost every collage of mine lately and am officially obsessed. The shape is really good. Not too wide and just a slight cat eye. This bordeaux and gray color is cool too if you’re craving something other than black.
If you’re looking for an amazing chic summer blazer for work (yet versatile to wear year round) this one from TWP is a favorite of some of my styling clients. And speaking of TWP, this is another fan favorite button up shirt of mine that’s chic and easy to style back to skirts and with higher rise denim. The cuffed sleeves add a styled element without having to think about it. And the material is just so luxe. It’s one that just feels so amazing on! If you’re looking to level up your office staples.
Also, a gorgeous breezy minimal style dress from TWP.
My A.Emery Kinto sandals were restocked in all sizes.
This Dorsey lariat is the coolest!!! ~ sold out in 24 hours but is now available for pre-order.
I can’t get enough of Amanu’s gorgeous handcrafted leather sandals… and now I can’t get enough of the shape of this bag (also available now on Net-A-Porter).
Very into this set and look for a beach getaway. Moda has the best edits!
And lastly in all of my summer eyelet loving ~ I’ve had this top / look saved. What I wish I was wearing on a summer night with my denim.
I need to plan an SF trip because of all the years I’ve been going I’ve never gone into McMullens and now I absolutely must!!!!
That lace dress is a dream on you
