golden camel.

“The new neutral” was used as a thread throughout the collection in head-to-toe looks and incorporated in the prints. I love that she is using such a rich color as a neutral. Honestly, this color would look good on anyone.

layered turtlenecks.

Voila - the perfect transition to Fall. I am not one for ponchos but this look reminds me of a chic nomad traveling through Europe. My favorite part about layering turtlenecks is that you can repurpose your favorite pieces that might be better left in another season for a good fall/winter look.

textures.

Because less isn’t more. Even though it isn’t practical for a New York wardrobe, basics aren’t really basic anymore. There is texture in every surface and fabric even if it is solid. Mixing textures, and patterns isn’t the easiest thing when it comes to styling. Ulla Johnson does it perfect. She stays true to her color schemes and patterns to keep the looks from looking too busy.

snakes at your feet.

Teetering between neutral and colorful makes these the most wearable snakeskin boots coming to the market. Merging the 70s silhouette and the classic snakeskin pattern with slightly quirkier colors adds a nice layer to the collection.

contrast stitching.

The easiest way to add a fresh detail to basically everything. Constrast stitching is one of my go-to last minute touches. It’s a good way to elevate something that might look boring solid. I love how a simple change like that can rejuvenate a garment.
