Hi friends! Would love to know if anyone has tried Bode out for sizing, esp. how the "men's" elastic waist shorts might fit a woman. And also ... how is the sizing panning out of Jamie Haller shoes? Thanks in advance.

Hi - what are your suggestions for resoling the moccasins? Is there a place in the tri-state area you can recommend? I love the Adelante colors! Thank you!

There is a great shoe

cobbler near me on 88th street and lex , he’s been there 25 years and has tons of options. Downtown there is already a good one on bleecker off Crosby towards broadway, there’s a staircase you take down from the sidewalk to get there

1. Fashion and trends are such liquid worlds. I feel you. An island of style is important yet a few bridges are of most importance.

2. I could easily live in the second look (I have others that I love, of course, but one must streamline).

3. What would you say about pop of colour with vibrant patterns under a very neutral ground base?

Always amazing lovely to read you. Xx

The sheer ones? Calzedonia

I thought you described that brand as the more reasonably priced socks and there was another brand that lasted three years

Ah my mistake. The other brand is Wolford.

The website says if in between sizes order 1/2 down, was that true for you?

I don’t have those moccasins - I just really like their shape and style. I’d go with what the site says, just make sure they are exchangeable?

I also just want to take a moment here and thank you for introducing me to so many cool brands. It helps me buy less, shop in my own closet, consider used items and buy quality items, which is going to last me a long time. Thanks!

I was so expecting a Phoebe post from you, my favorite Philophile. I’d love to know your thoughts on the “drop” and what you bought, or didn’t buy.

Hi! You know what? The collection launched during such an emotionally intense week and I didn’t pay that much attention to it. Looked at the clothes, liked some of them, didn’t feel compelled to buy anything and just logged out and didn’t think about it again. The one thought I do have is that I have always been more of an intellectual philophile. I wore her clothes but not to the extent that many others did — I have been more obsessed with her contribution to fashion, how she impacted the entire industry and shaped the way we dress. It takes such a specific and unique strain of taste and breaking down what made her, her is what I’m most interested in. And as far as this collection, it didn’t feel specifically shape shifting and world shattering the way previous collections have been. Maybe I’m remembering the feeling of a new collection too romantically or maybe the moment has just passed. I’m not really sure! What did you think!?
