when i saw an article on the news a few weeks ago that kate moss had been kicked off a plane for calling the pilot a “basic bitch” i genuinely laughed out loud. i mean, this is the girl who said “nothing tastes as good as skinny feels”— undoubtedly she’s never one to mince words. holding Kate as inspiration, for us phelbians avoid this most unchic of labels, try basics with a twist (just like my favorite kind of martini, which i’m sure katie dearest had a few of prior to plate-gate).

#1 not so basic lbd
2. paired with the sickest black pumps i ever did see– nicholas kirkwood, you are a genius (another option)

3. try a cropped white tweed jacket with just the right amount of fringe (or this high-low derek lam version— on sale!)

4. over this “don’t call me a sweetheart” sweetheart cami

5. hide tired eyes behind these chic mirrored frames

6. be airport casual in a lace up tee

7. with a not so basic crossbody purse that looks way more expensive than it is (hoo knew rag and bone did bags?)

8. and a comfy pair of trouser jeans to make anyones legs look like a supermodels

 

safe travels and clear skies to all of my cps traveling this week! xx
