Day & Night

Mint Main - 9 months ago - Kathryn Lovell

“Only great minds can afford a simple style.”
 Stendahl, 1783 – 1842

Just a couple of generations ago, “well dressed” women changed their clothes three times a day. Without a ladies maid, laundry maid and boundless dry cleaning budget to handle the less glamorous details, that sounds exhausting. Not to mention time consuming and inconvenient. My ideal is to dress perfectly, once a day. Here are three pieces that will take you from breakfast meetings to cocktail receptions.

Berry-licious

Diana von Furstenburg Dress

A four season color and geometric neckline is stunning with or without a adornment.

Black Magic

Donna Karen DressThis little black dress (LBD) has two ingenious sashes that can be tied a number of ways. The shirring is perfect if your feeling a little less than excited about your stomach.

Self Control
Spiegel Dress

Built in control garments keep you slim and trim all day.

Classics Revisted

Mint Main - 10 months ago - Kathryn Lovell

“All styles are good except the tiresome kind.”
 Voltaire, 1694 – 1778

While I love “timeless and traditional,” “timeless and distinctive” is what makes me salivate. The pieces that transcend classic design are the ones I covet. This season look for something unique that you can also wear forever.

Hoop-la

K Maley Gold Hoop Earrings

Full confession: I wear gold hoops at least three times a week. These front facing triple hoops are a brilliant and easy to wear version of basic hoops.

Pearly Brights

Simma Chester Pearl Branch EarringsPearls are about as classic as it gets. This modern version is elegant enough for evening, but simple enough for a day at the office.

Woodwork
Denise DeRose Wood Clutch

From a black tie event to a casual brunch, a wooden clutch will keep your lipstick and wallet stylishly safe.
