today was rainy,

and I wore my favorite navy anorak. And even though it's been my favorite forever (I even wore it throughout my pregnancy), I couldn't keep my mind off Natalie in her vintage berry-colored version. The color and style are perfect for a rainy day: deliciously hued to stave off rainy-day blues; soft but not too feminine with perfect sporty-drawstring cinching at the waist.

All you need



All you need is a few basic looks in your closet that you can dress up or down depending on the occasion. Milanese stylist Alessia Fagioli Galeone's look is exemplary of this fashion principle. Here she takes a favorite basic look of mine, the denim button down and olive trousers, and adapts the look based on the requirements of the day.



When I met her at the Albino Deuxiem show, she had just stepped in from the rain in a super -envious windbreaker and eye catching earrings. One, you might remember that I love to observe how the fashionable brave the rain- it's because their weather friendly approaches always bring a smile to my face and brighten my day. With that said, you can totally understand my appreciation for that windbreaker. And two, how ridiculously cool are those earrings?? They are by an emerging talent whose name I will provide really soon.



Later that day, when showers had calmed, I spotted her again in the same basic look but dressed up with this lovely sequins jacket, and which because of its embellishment, she accessorized with a more sober pair of earrings.



Thanks Alessia for showing us how a basic look can take you a long way.

rainy days...



you put on red lipstick and you smile your brightest smile



you let your toes hang out of statement sandals



and you walk gallantly through puddles. Rainy days are beautiful too.
