This Ilana Kohn jumpsuit looks like fall and feels like pajamas. —erica

Tanya Taylor has mastered the sort of jumpsuit you wear if you’re the boss. —erica

Star-Crossed: Suno + Burkman Bros.

We’re going to be rolling out some new features around here! So GET READY. “Star-Crossed” matches up men’s and women’s pieces that are totally meant to be—the Kevin and Winnie, Harry and Sally, Josh and Cher of the emerging-design world, if you will. —erica

Girl: Suno jumpsuit
Boy: Burkman Bros. shirt 

Weather Vain: Santa Monica, California - 72 and Partly Cloudy

We’re in L.A. this week! And, to celebrate, I figured I oughta put together an ensemble that would be perfect should we make our way a smidge west today. Ah, ocean breezes. —erica

Clockwise from top left:

+ Sure, they’re glittery, but the shape of these Loeffler Randall sandals have a total walking-the-pier vibe.

+ This Pamela Love ring adds a pop of color to an otherwise neutral outfit—goes well with the lush greenery (and the lobby of the Viceroy), no?

+ A silk Vanessa Bruno jumpsuit with a forgiving waist gives you the option to order the cheese plate and sweet potato fries at Father’s Office.

+ This chunky necklace is by Gabriela Artigas—who lives a quick drive away (well, depending on the traffic) in West Hollywood.

+ With its open weave, this bronze-y Kelly Bergin sweater is just warm enough for a pre-sunset beach stroll.

More “Weather Vain!” Right here! YES!

Is there such a thing as a transition-to-fall jumpsuit? Because I think that Won Hundred—the Danish brand of my dreams—might have made one. —erica

The French line Heimstone makes a jumpsuit—yeah, that’s a jumpsuit—that doesn’t leave me in qualms about wearing it. —jiayi

Known Entities: Lil’ Kim

The reigning Queen of Hip Hop—we love you Nicki, but you know how it is—has never been one for subtlety. Of her many attention-snatching ensembles, one in particular stands out: the getup she wore to the 1999 VMAs—an awards show look that is burned in our brains right alongside J. Lo’s 2000 Grammys dress. —erica

An in-your-face jumpsuit from Alexis—because royalty wears purple.

Sky-high white Jeffrey Campbell platforms—the purest things about her.

Sophisticated pasties from Body in Metal (brought to our attention by Cassie). This is a special occasion, for god’s sake—you have to keep things classy.

Bruce II—the diffusion line from designers Daphne Gutierrez and Nicole Noselli, who won the CFDA Perry Ellis Award for Womenswear in 2001 for their main collection—has been popping up at some of my favorite boutiques, and it’s looking like I should start filling the piggy bank for spring right now. I mean, hi, flamingo-pink pants. And, those little black culottes just above? I’ve already tried on the fall iteration of the style twice. —erica

PS: Did you all know that that’s how you spell culottes? I certainly did not. I seems so…fancy.

Ooooh. Love this line. Very clean, a lot of fun, kinda quirky. It also has one of those too-good-to-be-true creation stories where three best gal pals quit their corporate jobs to make and sell fabulous clothes. I want in.
