James Perse
Nice and New: James Perse Furniture
If you're a fan of James Perse's cozy tees and casual California aesthetic, you'll be pleased to hear that the contemporary knitwear designer has extended his brand to interiors. He has debuted four collections of furniture for indoors and out to give your home that same simple and timeless style as your wardrobe. I love the no-frills, refined-yet-relaxed vibe of the Sonoma Sofa (inquire for price) from his upholstered NorCal Collection.
Private Practice Style: Charlotte King
Chief of Staff Charlotte King looks so casual and cute in this scene from Private Practice. Wearing layered tanks (the cream one by David Meister and the gray James Perse), with Nike Cargo shorts, Charlotte looks fit for housework, such as the plumbing she has to attend to! Her ponytail and flip flops provide the finishing touches.
L Word Style: Shane McCutcheon
Resident L Word badass Shane McCutcheon looks just as cool as ever in this still from the second episode of L Word. To copy her hard-edged style, shop a deep v-neck tee from James Perse with Current/Elliot jeans (Shane's are vintage), and black leather sneakers. Add a silver necklace to shine like Shane.
Fab Tip: Pit Stains No More
A friend of mine recently complained that her new James Perse top, much like this James Perse Slouch Fleece Top ($165), was ruined by yellow pit stains. Sucks. Pit stains are ugly, but they're not the end of the world.
Fab's 10 Fall Essentials: Black Maxi Skirt
Confession: I've already gotten one. I was inspired by Jenni Kayne's Spring '09 collection. I love the long, lean silhouette and nonchalant feel.Look of the Day: Savoring Summer
I like the way you think, nannabean. She doesn't want Summer to end and I don't blame her. It's starting to cool down in her neck of the woods but she's savoring Summer in her cute outfit.
Trend Alert: Elegant Mesh
No longer reserved for boxers and their muscle-tanks, today's mesh is feminine, flirty and just a smidge of sporty. You can find it on dresses and tops as a result of the get sporty trend that is, in fact, carrying over into the Fall. Funny how one fabric can be so bi-polar - bring on the mesh!
Good, Better, Best -- Basic Tees
Ah, the basic tee, we all live in them and I don't know about you, but I find myself stocking up every year. Below are three of my faves:
Good
Gap Short Sleeved Stretch Tee, $16.50, available here. These are great for when you need to buy about 5 at once.
90210 Style: Erin Silver
Although she's in muted colors again, Silver throws some sass into this outfit with a studded vest, cuff bracelet, and funky necklace. She lets her accessories do the work and keeps the rest of her look simple in skinny jeans and a gray tee. This LaROK vest has a similar feel, as does this AESA necklace, so be sure to shop them now along with other like items.
Celeb Style: Penelope Cruz
If you think about it, Penelope has a laid-back glamor. Sure, she goes glamazon on the red carpet, but for her day-to-day style, she lives in jeans and cool classics. She attended a lunch honoring her performance in Nine at LA's L'Ermitage hotel in Winter white and denim.
