Hi Leandra! Loved the looks so much as always particularly the white dresss at the end. Screenshot finger hurts now. Thank you.

Also re Ghost---I feel very eldest Millenial, just clicking that link brought me a whifff of circa 1998 print Vogue, Ghost was very very cool London and I wanted some.

Ghost is great! A very well-priced, well-made, british stalwart. It’s been reinvented a few times now

Think I have to dive in deeper

The other brands I weirdly love out of the UK, always find something unexpected and good: jigsaw and me + em

Leandra, the collab with pure cashmere nyc is fantastic. Going to get the red wrap sweater, it’s just perfect!!

On a side note i got a skirt (very similar to this) from a local consignment store and was wondering how you’d style this to not look boring or too formal but more on the casual side.

I just reread this comment. You can wear the skirt with the wrap sweater and white crew neck tee under it too. That’s such a nice combo!

Oh that’s a really good skirt. Probably sheer tights or socks and white kitten heels (so niche) with a sweater vest and white t-shirt OR brown suede riding boots/loafers/kitten heels/flats and something denim on top

A pop of red would be nice too !!

The styling from today’s Dries ss24 show was straight out this playbook.

Hi! I was re-reading your history and I sense a core “hero” collection on building blocks. One idea/request: write a wardrobe building blocks article that is year round essentials.

I like this idea! Actually just wrote a note in my "newsletter ideas" notes about how the most boring purchases (basics!) are always the ones that you feel most grateful to have transacted on -- its kind of a take on what you're saying here. Have to figure out how I'll formulate, but it's a good idea!

The buttoned up cardigan + flower + jeans looks so fresh. It’s my next Leandra look.

I was going to write the same thing as the first commenter! ghost has been around since the first time we did the 90s and I also have one of their tank slip dresses on the way. As for a non tee non knit etc top, this one feels like an interesting canvas. https://us.sirthelabel.com/products/ligera-open-back-top-silver

Hi Leandra, can you tell me how that Damernes rosette attaches? is it a pin? The site doesn’t display the back of it...

The back is the best part! There’s a pin and a clip, so you can clip it onto your lapel (or into your hair) if you want, or pin it in. It also comes with a leather string so you can wear around neck/arm etc.

exactly what I wanted to hear, buying this now - thank you!

Ok, now I am fixated on that darn Row belt! Also, Ghost satin midi is a good one! Getting it! 🫶🏼

I linked once to an Alice and Olivia one which isn’t THE SAME but I think could function the same way…

Also keep us posted on how the ghost skirt fits. I love that too

I don't know how you do it, but your footwear is always intriguing - what you pair with it is simply fascinating. Tights with sandals, love it, kinda out there. One of these days I'm going to have the courage to experiment with footwear... of course this is after I have the staples ready to go moving upward. Past experience left me with unworn footwear because nothing I put on went with it, or I (didn't) have the ideas you share to start experimenting.

I think also: the simpler the shoe the easier it is to get weird with and around it

I have no problem being weird. Much to my demise living in "Normalsville, USA." good observation I'll move forward with, starting with my next online order. :)

Bonjour Leandra! The collab with pure cashmere nyc is spelndid! You have a photo of yourself with a grey blazer and hoping you might have the name of the brand it is as I love it! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!

Leandra I’m sorry I keep asking you for inputs, I hope I’m not asking too much but I am thinking of getting a pair of cowboy boots for a costume that I can also wear comfortably outside, do you have a suggestion on where to start looking.

I’m doing a whole package on fall trends in a couple of weeks! Cowboy boots are in it, my favorite ones are the Luchesse classics but also Aeyde is super good (ankle length) and there’s this one other brand I have to look up the name that I recently encountered and loved

Expand full comment

Hi, I see this and I have to comment because I was in Nashville this past spring and bought a pair of Luccheses from the shop there. I cannot recommend them highly enough! They’re very comfortable and a bit on the pricey side, but I’ll have them forever! The sales person said to make sure and buy the ones that are made in the USA! Good luck.

Thanks for the response Leslie. How is sizing for Luchesse? I am a true 8.5

For me, spot on!

Morning!

What is the brand of the blue loafer/flat with the long white dress? Obsessed.

Thanks

Hi! Same navy suede Row loafers as in the look a few above with the black leggings and sheer dress over. You can usually find them still lingering around the real real and there is a pair from Bode (linked in the leggings look too) that does a similar thing

Wow I totally made that up, just looked back at the picture captions

Anyway: they’re the row! You can still often find them on TRR (recommended search phrase: “row suede loafers”)

Hi 👋🏽 Leandra.

I am trying to find that beautiful Delphine Raw sill shirt and can’t find anywhere? How do I find it? 🫶🏽😊

I don’t know how to find it either! I bought it from a hotel gift shop! I have been trying to find on SM too

I’m haunted by it! It’s the perfect shirt! Haha

Do you mind sharing the hotel for me to ask them? 😫

Yes! It’s from the store at Six Senses. She is a local designer who the shop owner (a former vogue Italia editor) found

How good.

Sorry to ask, is this six senses in Rome?

I feel like I’m on a treasure hunt. Haha
