SATURDAY SUBLIME

James Andrew – New York

For me the perfect Saturday might consist of a good sleep-in, followed by a leisurely breakfast/brunch. Having fortified oneself, one might take a stroll around town; visit an auction preview or exhibition; do a little shopping; and take a late luncheon al fresco.

In fact, that’s pretty much just how yesterday unfolded! Perfection!

It’s approaching Summer here in New York – Saturday was a humid 80 degrees – so I wanted my ensemble to be fresh and crisp, casual yet chic. I paired a Gucci cotton voile vintage floral print tunic shirt with white Uniqlo jeans (nothing fresher), Tom Ford pale olive suede espadrilles, a vintage Gucci chartreuse python belt with silver double horsehead buckle, an Hermes “Cape Cod Deux Zones” watch. Gucci aviator sunglasses complete the look, and a splash of Hermes L’Eau de Gentiane Blanche (a beautiful and delicate scent) had me feeling fresh and energized for the day!
