Basic Instinct

December 21st, 2011

Cazal Sunglasses, Brooks Brothers Button-down, TEXTILE Elizabeth and James Iggy Jeans, Dolce Vita Heels, Reed Krakoff Bag, Michael Kors Watch, Estée Lauder Stay Scarlet Lipstick

Maybe it’s the hustle of the holidays that has me relying on stripped down basics – a white button-down, skinny jeans, heels, and red lipstick. I wore this out to brunch at Gjelina last weekend followed by some shopping in Venice. Even though it started to drizzle slightly, I never take for granted the fact that I can leave the house sans jacket in the middle of December.
