Weather Vain: Detroit, Michigan - 72 and Partly Cloudy
There’s some coolness happening in Detroit right now, and a downright lovely day like this one is the perfect time to explore it. Here’s what to wear to get down with The D. —erica
Clockwise from top left:
+ An M.Patmos silk tee cool enough for Corktown.
+ A warm-hued Annie Costello Brown cuff that will look appropriate next to a scotch Crimson Dynamo cocktail at Sugar House.
+ The sort of jumbo Steven Alan tote ready for a camera and some time at the Motown Museum.
+ Elizabeth and James flats—kick ‘em off and tuck into bed at the way-cool inn Honor & Folly.
+ Tiny studded Tom Binns hoops that feel very Rock City.
+ A Haute Hippie blazer that dresses things right up for dinner at John D.
+ White MiH jeans—because the weather’s totally asking for ‘em.

Weather Vain: Park City, Utah - 37 and Partly Cloudy
If you’re in Park City today…well, LUCKY YOU. Embrace the fact that it’s not nearly as cold as it could be—and tell JGL I say, “Heeeeeeeeeeeey.” —erica
Clockwise from top left:
+ A silky Equipment shirt that adds polish to pretty much anything.
+ The sort of Hope boots itching for apres-ski (or -screening) action.
+ Ready for swag? This Love Mert tote is.
+ Lila Rice studs you can absolutely pass out in after a late night.
+ Ah, Isabel Marant does vaguely-Western so well.
+ Boy. by Band of Outsiders pants you can shove into boots easy-peasy—key.
+ Slip on this Kelly Weastler ring, and you’re read for dinner at Talisker.
+ …And add this Acne leather vest to make your way to Sky Lodge for drinks.
+ Collina Strada’s solution to keeping your room key—and chapstick—close-at-hand.
+ A crazy-cozy, chill-preventing layer from Maiami.
+ A gem-print scarf from We Are Owls—in case the theater’s chilly during Kill Your Darlings, A.C.O.D., or Very Good Girls.

What’s this? Oh, just your run-of-the-mill eel-skin tote from Sophie Hulme. Damn, girl. Now pair it with a boxy camel coat, and you have a full-blown Streetpeeper look on your hands. —erica

Weather Vain: Palm Springs, California - 88 and Clear
Palm Springs is the best spring getaway—you heard it here first. Or maybe you didn’t. But point is: Here’s what I wish I was wearing now in the city I’ll be invading in T-Minus 12 hours. —erica
Clockwise from top left:
+ The print on tote that Lina Rennell made Of a Kind would make all the Knoll-trolling gays jelly.
+ Mymu has the chic espadrille thing down pat.
+ It’s legit hot—if this featherweight Lemlem situation isn’t cool enough, grab a date shake from Palm Springs Fudge & Chocolates.
+ These Karen Walker shades are about as retro-cool as the just-opened Saguara Hotel.
+ This Bande Des Quatres ring is as boxy—and stunning—as the Kaufmann House.

Next Level: Souped-Up Totes
If you don’t have the luxury of a car’s backseat to store your gym gear, reading materials, and shoe changes, a tote is (sad to say) your next best thing. Instead of carrying around the mucked-up freebies lying all over your apartment, invest in a bag that actually adds to your look, like these four winners. —erica
LEVEL I: Simple and clean, this apricot leather creation could be Céline but is actually Baggu.
LEVEL II: The top of this Chester Wallace bag folds over so you can sling that red strap across your body and carry the thing like a messenger if you so desire.
LEVEL III: With its black leather handles and graphic, hand-dyed design, the tote Cook & Gates made just for Of a Kind adds legit oomph to any get-up.
LEVEL IV: If you worry about losing track of your stuff in a bottomless pit of a bag, this appealingly loud version from Thomas IV is like a 2-for-1: The black leather pocket is like a tote all its own.

Some days—like this one, for example—it blows our minds how many amazingly creative and talented people we know. Like, heads exploding. One such gal: the Elizabeth Spiridakis, a.k.a. White Lightning. She has about three dozen awesome things up her (madcap, crazy-colored) sleeve at any given moment, and, very recently, she designed us these killer totes. If you’re in NYC, come by our Warby Parker yurt (45 Grand Street, 12-8p until Jan. 8), tell us you saw this, and score one for free. Yes, you totes have a lot of totes, but you could always use more. We know. —erica

Weather Vain: Madison, Wisconsin - 37 with a Chance of Snow
Fall in the Midwest—it’s a thing. But it looks like the fine folks of Madison, Wisconsin, better start warming up their cider because it’s starting to get legit cold. I mean, not too freezing to hit the farmers’ market on the Square for cheese curds or to power through the fourth quarter of a Badgers game, BUT STILL. Here, the ideal look for a day like today. —erica
Clockwise from top left:
+ A fur-trimmed parka from L’Agence appropriate for just about every occasion.
+ A Rag & Bone sweater dress—to be worn with two pairs of tights.
+ A Pallie Jones tote substantial enough for a University Book Store or BOP haul.
+ An appropriately unfussy Folk hat. How charming is that pompom?
+ No. 6 boots with enough traction so you don’t slip and bite it on State Street.
This is a regular feature! Head this way for more location-based outfit ideas.

Are we meant to feel happy or sad for the tan dot on this Hansel from Basel tote? Because I’m really torn. —erica

Is it shameful to admit that I dress differently when I’m in L.A.? Well, I do. SO THERE. This is what I’d be rocking if I was on the left coast, possibly making my way to Palm Springs for a long, lazy weekend. —erica
+ Adam maxi
+ Rag & Bone tank
+ Erin Considine necklace (that she made for Of a Kind!)
+ Marais USA slingbacks
+ Makr tote
Hey! It’s L.A. month around here. Right this way for the rest of our coverage.

The grommets on this linen Fabric & Handle tote are actually snaps—meaning you can adjust the length of the straps. Somebody was wearing his thinking cap. —erica
