THREE ELEMENTS OF STYLE #1


Ray-Ban Aviator Outdoorsman sunglasses. For men or women, the quintessence of gold-rimmed cool. These iconic tear-drop shades will never go out of style, and are the gold standard for any other aviator wannabe. Whether you wear them with your old denims and favorite tee or pair them with haute couture, you will always be chic.



A white cotton shirt. You can pick up this classic at Target, or break the bank on a couture-level high-end label, but either way, if the fit is right, I don’t see anyone missing the boat when they wear this garment. It can be comfy, cozy and relaxed with jeans; a little preppy with chinos or shorts; edgy with dress pants or a black pencil skirt; dressed up with piles of accessories, or left pristine and open-necked – whether you’re young or old, male or female, a white cotton shirt is da bomb. Need proof? Look at James Dean rock it.





Black ballet flats. A go-to shoe for all women, the black ballet-inspired flat looks great with jeans, a flirty skirt and even a sparkly evening look. You can pick up the classic Capezio dance shoe (above) for under $50, or break the bank on MiuMiu scrunch ballets (below) for over $400, but either way, the look will give that Audrey Hepburn cool-girl effect.




Every so often, I’ll be posting more Elements of Style. Favorite things are meant to be passed along, and doing so makes me love them more. Favorite songs, favorite films, favorite books, favorite people . . . life is filled with great things to share.
