Against the Grain
White after Labor Day? But, of course.
White, cream, alabaster, milk, ivory—CbC endorses all their dazzling iterations. Here you’ll find her in a liquid satin dress, a warm shearling wrap, a cut leather skirt, a cozy cashmere, a silken boot. Pair her with a side of wheat, and you’re ready to face fall—with intention.
Ralph Lauren Cable Knit Cashmere V-Neck
V is in the house, and she’s here to stay—at least for the moment. Stay tuned.
But never fear:
Whether she tucks in for the duration or decides to round it out once again, RL’s cable knit will always keep you cozy and coutured.
Front-tuck her into a wide-leg jean in a matching shade (see below) and slip into a leather-trimmed jacket.
V is for victory—and at CbC? We’re here for it.
Jacquemus Aviador Metal Sunglasses
See the world through wheat-tinted glasses.
Nothing shines brighter than a solid pair of aviators, and Jacquemus’ ‘Aviador’ is no exception.
Wheat-colored lenses? You’re definitely the coolest aviator in the cockpit—or anywhere else, for that matter.
Hellooooo, yellow.
Rùadh Hendrickson Jacket
Chef’s kiss.
This jacket—she is fall, and I’m making her my whole look.
Crafted of soft butterscotch denim and finished with a chocolate-brown leather collar, she elevates everything she touches.
Rùadh, I’m keeping my eye on you. Can’t wait to see what else you have in store for us.
11 out of 10.
Toteme Slouch Shirtdress
Don’t let her fool you—she’s no slouch.
A showstopper poured in silk, this is the dress.
If you add one thing to your closet this fall, let it be her.
Not a one-note wonder either.
Layer her over a fitted tank and cream trousers, unbuttoned, and watch her dust(er) the floor with the rest.
Do you dare?
Toteme Plush Shearling Jacket in Rye
Toteme rarely misses the mark, but this season? They’re transcendent.
Case in point.
Rye—drape yourself in her taupe-y warmth.
She enchants even the most mundane outfit.
St. Agni Suede Halter Plunge Dress
Suede for fall? Yes, please.
She’s the darling of the season and does the dirty work for you—no saint would ever dare to plunge this low.
This toffee beauty? A one-and-done.
Add a strappy sandal—yes, even in fall—and swirl out the door.
Toteme Satin Knee-High Boot in Milk
The boots that run rent-free through my dreams every night.
Practical? Probably not.
Haunting? Absolutely.
Satin milk? Mmm, pour me a glass…
Toteme Paneled Leather Skirt in Rye
By now, you may be thinking this curation is an ode to Toteme—and maybe it is.
But this skirt certainly earns her place on the panel. She scans the boardroom, takes no prisoners, and she reigns.
Leather perfection. Pair her with your favorite cashmere and boots (I vote for the aforementioned Satin Knee-Highs), and you’re ready to slay the day—in rye, no less.
Makeup by Mario Eyeshadow Palette
She’s the one I reach for every day.
The ubiquitous neutral blend that flatters everyone.
Mix and match at will.
From light to dark, these shadows offer buildable, blendable coverage.
Eyes for the prize.
Cyklar Crescent Body Wash
Silky smooth—she makes showering a ritual.
Bright with bergamot and sea salt, grounded in amber, musk, and cedar,she lingers like warm skin after sun.
Not just a cleanse—a quiet rebirth.
Fall approves.
Byredo Gypsy Water
Beguiling, she’s the perfume for those who go against the grain.
Scented with bergamot, lemon, pepper, and juniper berries, she evokes “the dream of a free, colorful lifestyle close to nature”—the perfect texture to fall’s soft layers.
Let her linger.
Jil Sander Bamboo Leather Tote
Beauty in a bag, Jil Sander’s bamboo leather tote is a lesson in restrained elegance.
And that bamboo handle? The perfect counterpoint to her slick leather body.
Paired with the Toteme Slouch Dress? Alchemy in a bottle—a Baccarat bottle, of course.
Cult Gaia Cornelia Floral Felt Mini Wrap Skirt
Cornelia? She’s a moment. A jaw drop. A wrap.
Soft and felted, she slays with a cashmere turtleneck and your favorite knee-high boots.
Cornelia? She’s not coming to play. She means business—in all the best ways.
Cornelias always do…
Prada Faux Fur Collar
This is the magic that is Prada.
Simplicity at its most elevated.
Grosgrain, faux fur, and notched lapels—the trifecta.
Somehow, the accessory you can’t live without.
Her perfection almost excuses the price—almost.
And yet? I want her anyway.
Don’t you?
Re/Done Stretch Mid-Rise Wide-Leg Crop Jeans
Flattering, fitted, flared. Umm, yes, please!
Re/Done is doing denim right, and this pair is pared-down perfection.
Pair her with a cream cashmere (à la Naked Cashmere’s Noelle) or a v-neck (think RL), and ground her with a wheat-toned ballet flat—see Khaite’s Charlotte.
You’re ready for anything.
Khaite Charlotte Ballet Flat in Barley Haircalf
And speaking of Khaite… I drool.
These are divine.
The fairy godmother herself couldn’t have crafted a prettier, more magical slipper.
Barley Haircalf? The name is poetry—sigh.
I could dance in them all night long…
Saint Laurent Le 37 Mini YSL Bucket Bag
Fur for fall? Revolutionary.
Well, if not revolutionary—deliciously fitting.
And the 37? She’s a darling, adding a spark to your cashmere and jeans.
She’s it slung over a trench as you dash out the door.
She’s the extra je ne sais quoi you didn’t know you needed—but oh, do you ever.
From milk to suede, from shadow to shine—fall never shouts. She whispers. Dress accordingly.
