I was never the posh kid at my elementary school. I always wore sweats and tracksuits. And this was before the invention of the Juicy Couture version. So, yeah, I wasn’t dressed all cool like the kids today. Now, Dolce & Gabbana want to change that. The new D&G Junior line has everything the most stylish kids in the world should be wearing, like this Puffer Jacket & Striped Sweater Dress. The sweater dress is $175 and the jacket is $345, which probably cost more than my entire collection of sweats, but this is the type of thing that I would’ve wanted if it existed back then! Incredibly stylish and warm to boot! Give the cool girl in your life the wardrobe to match yours, now at Neiman Marcus.
Chloe Striped Sweater and Lampshade Skirt

I must say that I’m excited! The new designer at Chloe is Paulo Melim Andersson from Sweden, taking the brand over from Britain’s queen of cool Phoebe Philo (and before her, another equally amazing Brit queen of cool, Stella McCartney). At first I was worried that the brand might lose its signature youthful charm, the certain je ne sais quoi that made this the go-to brand for DPTs (dirty pretty things). Andersson used to work at Marni, which is a bit like the Italian equivalent of youthfully irreverent cool. Available to pre-order through Saks Fifth Avenue is Chloe’s Fall collection, including this Striped Sweater and Lampshade Skirt ($1070 and $1000), which exemplifies some amazing detailing. On the sweater, the stripes are knit together, not dyed, which gives you a much finer looking end result. The taffeta skirt comes with a full silk lining, which is a wonderfully luxe detail. Order now before they become collectibles!
