Lady Di Vibes.

Today, I am inspired by the classic elegance of Lady Di in her blue blazer above. I love that she took fashion risks, but I am today celebrating the classics she wore with aplomb — a reminder that basics are not boring. A few essential-type pieces that will withstand the test of time and trends:

VERONICA BEARD BLUE BLAZER (LOOK FOR LESS WITH THIS)

PIMA TURTLENECK

TOD’S LOAFERS

CLASSIC STRUCTURED LEATHER TOTE

LONGLINE CAMEL COAT

CHUNKY GOLD EVERYDAY EARRINGS LIKE THESE OR THESE

WHITE BUTTON-DOWN

TIFFANY KEY RING

CLASSIC TRENCH ($148!)

OXFORDS

TIMELESS GOLD BANGLE

LEATHER STRAP WATCH

TORTOISE HEADBAND

DARK WASH SKINNY JEANS

PERFECT BLACK SUEDE KITTEN HEEL PUMP

And if you are on the opposite end of the fashion spectrum (i.e., give me all the ornamentation and embellishment), this post is for you. And also this one, featuring a can’t-miss $60 sparkle dress to see you through NYE at home.

P.S. Easily one of the best books I’ve read this year.

P.P.S. Lilacs and poetics.

P.P.P.S. When Mr. Magpie came to visit me in France…
