{ all } in the details

i love items that seem basic at first, but upon closer inspection surprise you. like a sweater with strategic cut-outs, jeans with the subtlest python pattern, and whisper-thin rings worn on every single finger:

{ michael michael kors sweater, rag + bone shirt, pour la victoire bag, gifted hudson jeans, fendi watch, catbird rings }

{ a hudson holiday }

this holiday season, i teamed up with hudson jeans to gift one reader with all four of my favorite denim styles. over the last couple of weeks, many of you voted on which you'd most like to see me wear as a holiday look ~ and each vote became a chance to win!
