CASHMERE DREAMING

We're seemingly on to sunnier days, both literally and figuratively, so it's time to step-up our fashion game. Nothing this season seems overly fussy, formal or festive but definitely more polished than our lazy uniforms of the past year. No more sweatpants for me, that's for sure. I rarely post about things other than Interlude, but this store and special woman deserve a shout out. In fact, I think I should do this more.

Which brings me to my go-to cashmere resource, Crimson, in Paris. Linda Wright, the owner, formal model and fashion icon hails from Texas and moved to Paris decades ago. She's an interesting combination of edge and glamour, perfect if you ask me. She's also beautiful, smart and unapologetic, with a spot-on French Texas vibe. She designs for a sophisticated, yet approachable woman. I rarely am able to buy just one piece (full disclosure, never) when visiting Crimson. The lovely women who work with Linda are talented stylists, super friendly and extraordinary salespeople, so there’s that too. Did I mention they ship to the states for free? It's a win, win.

Here are my favorite pieces, to be worn for years to come. Thanks, Linda.
