It seems a little tricky, but at the end of the day, you know as well as I do that this so-classic Whit coat would go with everything you own. —erica

THIS WHIT DRESS. It’s ready to go for (the cooler days of) summer, and, with a floaty trench, it’s set for fall. —erica

Your trench not Edie Beale enough? Because this Whit one definitely is. —erica

These tomato-red, soft-as-buttah suede gloves are my favorite things from Whit’s fall collection. The spaces between the fingers are accented with a mellow ballet-slipper hue. I’m telling you, red and pink. —erica

Things of the Week: It Actually Feels Like Fall Edition

Claire: A couple of weeks ago we were talking with Whitney Pozgay of WHIT about the fall weather that had finally started to show, and the ever-thrilling possibility of tight-wearing that came with it. Turns out she and I both turn to We Love Colors for our hosiery fix. These people are the Pantone of the tight world—they carry every color you could possibly want, including some you definitely don’t. They’re the perfect thickness, and I haven’t had a pair run or snag yet. Whitney spoke passionately of their pitch-perfect tomato-red shade. Also, because Erica tells me that these posts are supposed to be “servicey,” I’m going to tell you my second best tights-related secret: Doubling up on tights is way warmer than wearing jeans and is the best way I know to get out of the winter rut of wearing pants seven days a week.

Erica: Etsy seller Dear Colleen makes some pretty witty stuff—black rosette ribbons that read loser, letterpress posters with mentions of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire—but I laughed out loud when I saw her “Dishes I’d Rather Be Doing” tea towel. Granted, if it was customizable, I would sub in Joseph Gordon Levitt, Michael Cera, Hugh Grant, Channing Tatum, and Andrew Garfield—I have interesting taste, ok?—for the standard-issue Hollywood heartthrobs, but the concept is genius. Not that it would actually be appropriate for me to own this anyway, considering my boyfriend scrubs the pots 92% of the time.

Mutual: Iced Matcha—do you know about this stuff? It’s a drink that we believe has the potential to take over significant market share from iced coffee. Its bright green color makes you feel as though you’re engaging in extraordinarily healthy behavior by consuming it, its taste is reminiscent of a highly concentrated green tea without the bitterness, and it offers a caffeine high without the jitters. We first happened upon it because we had regular meetings at an office around the corner from In Pursuit of Tea, a completely delightful but sort of ridiculous little tea shop on Crosby Street. It takes them about five minutes to prepare it and the entire process is pretty indistinguishable from that of making a fancy cocktail. We later discovered that Whole Foods carries Matcha powder in convenient little packets that you put in a water bottle and shake up a la Crystal Light.

In Character: Phyllis Nefler

As a vivacious, determined troop leader, Shelley Long taught us the value of creative fundraising, celebrity endorsements, and good tailoring. And khaki is quite the uniform essential right now, even if you’re not on the hunt for badges.

Something chic and khaki—like a Gryphon coat with pockets big (and sturdy) enough to hold plenty of emergency lip product. (Avail at Les Nouvelles.)

A just-floppy-enough Rag & Bone hat that protects from ticks and keeps the statement hair under control. (Avail from Ssense.)

For occassions when a Wilderness Girls uniform isn’t appropriate, a go-to polka-dot Whit dress that can handle some out-there accessories. (Avail at Bird.)
