Indefatigable designer Kelly Wearstler presented her latest collection in New York the other day. I took a spin around and loved the riot of at her Resort 2013 presentation. Some of the looks I would love to have my best friend wear out with me – they are perfect for her skin tone and whippet thin figure. The pieces I gravitated to were the tops and jackets, which I see as the mainstays in the modern woman’s wardrobe. Ms. Wearstler is pretty darn cool, if I do say so myself. When I lived in Los Angeles, her sensibility was bubbling up through hotel design and she was starting to hit the big time as a major Hollywood decorator / designers. Her use of color, pattern and texture are as unique as a thumbprint. Now I think of her first as a fashion designer, second as an interiors guru. Can you feel it?

This top is my dream for the pattern trend. Nothing too dramatic, but still really graphic and cool. Love it!
Same top, but the purple tones make it younger and hipper
This shirt would work with probably every pair of trousers I own - a new staple!
I would wear this jacket with a black dress and some serious necklace action
I really love the top and skirt patterns together in this look
