Fall arrived today! Time to bust out that lovely leather jacket you've been waiting to wear (I was this close to donning mine, but when temps were in the mid 90s, that's just crazy). Just about every shop has a fantastic version of the black leather biker jacket (which Kate always seems to effortlessly add to any look) – Zara has a few of my faves with this one, and this one.
Also this weekend ...
• It's not for another week, but Christie's is auctioning art starring the super model of all super models, the amazing Kate Moss. In my book, she can do no wrong (style-speaking, that is), so I'll take any excuse to take a look back at the many looks of Kate the great.
• I've been a fan of Jeni's Splendid ice cream for some time. It's been hard to find, but a little grocer nearby carries just a few of the incredible flavors like salty caramel, Riesling poached pear, and wildberry lavender. Now I can get any flavor, any time because Jeni's is opening a Chicago outpost on Southport! There is a preview party tonight ... with free ice cream.
• Sunday is thee day ... the 3.1 Phillip Lim X Target collab launches at 8am sharp. See you there!
Have a super weekend!

The red carpet was full of lovely ladies strutting their sartorial stuff last night at the Oscars. There were very few misses, but a number of stylish starlets caught my eye. Below are the eight stunners that I honor with best dressed ...
Continuing her award show amazingness, Amanda Seyfried was a showstopper in this
custom Alexander McQueen halter gown. The delicate beading and keyhole
neckline, along with her perfect styling of messy updo and sultry makeup
make her a winner in my book.
Halle Berry was magical in this metallic gown by Versace. The silver and black stripes and structured shoulders create an art deco design that delights the eye.
The always lovely Charlize Theron wore a stunning Dior Couture gown. With the
perfectly placed peplum, the split at the top and great styling with the
sleek crop do, Charlize was definitely white hot.
With details like the belt, floral appliqués and layered hemline, Zoe Saldana's
dress could have been overkill, but instead she killed it with this
lavender Alexis Mabille gown.
A longtime leading lady, Sally Field stunned in this classic Valentino red
gown. The gathering at the midsection and delicate ruffles on the bottom
half give this crew neck and long sleeve piece its dynamic details.
Jennifer Lawrence struck a balance between the fitted bodice and voluminous skirt in her gorgeous pale Dior Haute Couture gown. Perhaps the best accessory of the night, Jennifer donned a delicate long diamond necklace that dripped down her
back.
Playing perfectly off her creamy complexion and gorgeous red hair, Jessica Chastain stunned
in this nude beaded number from Armani Privé, complete with a bold red
lip.
Like a character out of a fairytale, Amy Adams floated down the red carpet in delicate
layers of pale blue/gray tulle in this strapless Oscar de la Renta ballgown.
... also noteworthy were Naomi Watts million watt gown, and Samantha Barks gown during the performance by the cast of Les Mis.
