What Whitley Wants Vol. 7

Gigi, Isabelle, Rachel, Sophia… Oh my! Toooo many good girls on one page! Plus, I’ve never really been super exclusive… I got that whole mindset of abundance thing going on, ya know?

I always wear a left hand statement ring, even if it’s not cocktail attire, and everyone wants to know where they can find one! This Ulla Johnson is terrific for a dress OR jeans and tee moment, or really anything on this page. The giraffe on the RE/DONE tee is me, no matter how hard I try. I DID manage to nab the Isabel Marant velvet embroidered cropped jacket of dreams for a client, so if I’m really good, maybe she’ll let me borrow it! And the Gigi Burris hat? I used it for a recent editorial and naturally I want one for my very own! The Sophia Webster oversized butterfly embellished clutch ALWAYS, the Isabel Marant boots even if they ARE DOOK blue, and that modern day Alice in Wonderland meets Scooby Doo Zimmermann print dress on acid! Who am I kidding?? I want it all! Click on the images below to shop, and follow me HERE on the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app to get the product details for this look and others.

What She Wore: Working Lunch On The Patio

What She Wore: Working Lunch On The Patio. Effortless, as always, and the sweetest smile to boot, my Marketing Assistant, Isabelle Pringle, is the ultimate IT girl on arrival. Talk about lucky—that was me with a happenstance meeting with Isabelle’s Mom the very first day of the shut down. Isabelle was stuck in customs on her way back from a fashion studies program in Lodon. She was supposed to be headed to NYC for an internship with shoe designer Sam Edelman.

What started as a friendly hello and “What in the world is going on with this virus,” led to one of the gretest additions to my team I’ve ever had. Writing Isabelle’s letter of recommendation to Parson’s for graduate school was one of the greatest honors of my career. While I’m super excited for her, I’d by lying if I didn’t say I’m super excited for me that Covid taught us better than ever how to work remotely!

These fun collages are just one of the bajuillion things that Isabelle has created. Shop her look below, and wish her luck this coming fall—though I know she will be a rockstar there just as she has been here!

Designer Crush: Rodarte

Limited but mighty this season’s Rodarte collection on the Moda Operandi Trunk Show didn’t stop me from loving EVERY. SINGLE. PIECE. of it. Goodness. Gorgeous. Gracious. The fact that designers keep cranking out anything, but less the crazy good designs IN A PANDEMIC just amazes me. Flowers, lace, ruffles…. I just mean! This ruffled floral-print silk maxi dress is an absolute feminine dream. Add pink and hearts and even more ruffles, I just don’t even know what to say about this one! Then THISSSSSSS… OMG. That’s all.

What She Wore: Clean and Crisp

I thought it would be fun to recreate the image Lucky Magazine published in their November, 2011 issue. This is really where the Queen City Style all started. I’ve been a very lucky lady for the past couple of months having Isabelle on my team, helping me with all kinds of projects. Isabelle was supposed to be in New York City interning with Sam Edelman for the summer, but because of Covid-19, like the rest of the world, she was not able to travel for a now nonexistent opportunity. Here is the original article. Speaking of Sam Edelman, I’m kinda digging these studded gladiator sandals.

And below is Isabelle’s outfit recreation. Bear it mind, she had not seen the original before putting the new one together. Both are great, but I gotta go with Isabelle’s version! I absolutely LOVE the Lee Matthews two-toned tencil polo shirt, and those round framed Acetate sunnnies… TOO chic.
