JOB
Owner and founder, Vermillion, a designer boutique at North Hills shopping center. Married to CP Harris and mother of Betty and Annie Fleming, ages 3 1/2.
THE LOOK
It’s classic and functional. I wanted to wear an outfit today that I could spend time with my girls in, go to work in and out to dinner later with a friend.
THE CLOTHES
I’m wearing a Celine striped top and Veronica Beard black shorts. I love a pocket. I also have on orange (my favorite color) Loeffler Randall wedges.
GO-TO PIECE
It’s a toss up between The Row skinny jeans in black or denim and The Row black blazer. I can wear the skinny jeans with anything, and they are very flattering.
DESIGNERS
Lela Rose, Proenza Schouler, Nili Lotan, J.Crew, Balenciaga, Megan Park, Lululemon and Veronica Beard.
ESSENTIAL GOODS
Natura Bisse, anything from their Tolerance line, for skin care. Pureology Miracle Filler treatment for tangles. Any shea butter body soaps at Whole Foods. Burt’s Bees lip balm and Balenciaga perfume.
DESIGNERS
I really love getting to know a designer and watching that designer evolve and flourish while staying true to their original vision. I’m a colorist at heart and therefore really appreciate when designers take risks with color combinations…especially pretty ones!
STYLE ICONS
Aerin Lauder, who I had the privilege of meeting this fall in Miami, where she proved to be just as stylish in person. Phoebe Philo, fashion designer and creative directer of Celine. Both women have a classic and relaxed approach to fashion that I enjoy and admire.
OLDEST PIECE IN CLOSET
I have a Pucci dress from 12 years ago that still looks current. I also have a Lela Rose emerald green trench coat from when I opened, seven years ago, that still makes me swoon.
MOST RECENT PURCHASE
For my 35th birthday, my husband bought me a 1970s vintage Chanel gold chain bracelet.
FALL TREND
Proenza Schouler graphic tees. I love the acid yellow/grey graphic tee screened with an aerial photo of the Himalayas paired with their tweed skirt. It creates an unexpected, cool look. I’m also excited about the mountain Aztec sweaters we have in from A.L.C. and Proenza Schouler.
