Wearing: N\u00e9glig\u00e9 NYC<\/a> Pleated Top (similar<\/em><\/a>) + Uniqlo x J. W. Anderson Jeans<\/a> + Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Check Medium Andiamo<\/em>, Barolo + Ice Blue<\/a> (similar<\/em><\/a>)<\/p><\/div>\n

It’s finally cooled a bit. Just to a brisk 75\u00b0, but the drop is drastic enough for L.A. that, coupled with rain, has the city forewarning our “first winter storm”. As a part-time Jersey girl, I can’t help but giggle. Los Angeles has yet to know bone-chilling cold,<\/em> but somehow, I’ve become just as sensitive to the dips as those who are native. I’ve even grown to appreciate the overstatements. Hollywood will forever have a flair for theatrics, and at the slightest suggestion of breeze, its constituents will<\/em> trade flip-flops for platform Uggs. So: Long sleeves it is, along with a belated transition into autumnal textures.<\/p>\n

But really, I just needed it to feel fall-ish<\/em> to bring out this beloved bag of mine. I’ve unintentionally become a bit of a Bottega collector<\/a>, and of all the ones in my closet, this is certainly the most unique: a bicolor Bottega Veneta Andiamo<\/em><\/a> in burgundy and ice blue intrecciato check, a seasonal release from Matthieu Blazy’s time at the Italian house. (Proof I’ve been besotted with Blazy well before the frenzy following his reign at Chanel<\/a>.) Peggy Gou was also seen toting this around<\/a>\u2014which is about all the endorsement a bag lover could need. I adore the basics as much as anyone else, but bags like this are a physical note-to-self to play more. If my clothing is essentially a blank slate, why\u00a0not<\/em> wear the checkered bag?<\/p>\n

Bottega Veneta Bicolor Andiamo<\/em> Bag<\/a> + Bottega Veneta Moment After<\/em>\u00a0Perfume<\/a> + Fifty Sounds<\/em> by Polly Barton<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

It fits everything I need for a day out of the house, too: spare totes in case I do some spontaneous shopping, my book of the week, notebook of choice<\/a>, and lip combo<\/a> (Chanel lip liner<\/a> always, topped with this SPF gloss<\/a>). And in honor of autumn’s coming and my darling\u00a0Andiamo<\/em>, a Bottega Veneta fragrance seems to be the most fitting finish. Moment After<\/em><\/a> is supple leather\u2014so smooth it’s almost unctuous and suede-like\u2014dipped in vanilla paste. It’s comforting and sensuous and (a descriptor I don’t use lightly), addictive.<\/p>\n
