Cartier ‘Agrafe Herringbone Twisted Necklace’ – $27,250.00

This now marks yet another occasion where Taylor is using her beloved vintage Cartier necklace as a standout jewelry piece to really pop against a black base.

Since acquiring it in May when she debuted it with a simple, black jersey tank dress, she’s also worn it over a high neck LBD and coat in New York. For this occasion, it really stands out against her high neck black top and framed by that vibrant red teddy coat.

Worn with: VRAI earrings, Stella McCartney coat, Louis Vuitton skirt, and Stuart Weitzman boots

Cartier ‘Juste un Clou Necklace’ – $15,570.00

One of Cartier’s signature designs is the ‘Juste un Clou’ – inspired by the nail. Taylor is relatively new to wearing Cartier, having only just recently worn one of their vintage necklaces this summer. The Juste un Clou is designed with the concept of breaking convention in mind, encouraging the wearer to be “original, independent, fearless, and free.”

I personally love the mix of casual sports attire with high end stacks on stacks of jewelry to “dress up” an otherwise casual ensemble.

Worn with: Ellie Mae sweatshirt, Foundrae bracelet, Jacquie Aiche bracelets, and Reformation loafers

Out and about | New York City, NY | September 18, 2023

Vince ‘Houndstooth Wool Blend Coat’ – $845.00
Cartier ‘Agrafe Herringbone Twisted Necklace’ – $27,250.00
Versace ‘Greca Goddess Medium Leather Top-Handle Bag’ – $2,650.00
Christian Louboutin ‘Pumppie Botta Leather Knee-High Boots’ – $1,795.00

Watching people excel in their given field is always a pleasure and a joy to watch. It’s how I feel seeing Taylor dancing with abandon at awards shows or singing to sold out stadiums of 70,000 people. But it’s also how I feel when I see her step out in fall attire in NYC. What a thrill! She’s always had a special knack for layers and colour palettes, but Taylor really does kill fall dressing. So much so that this latest string of outfits has been a consistent, “Yes I will copy + paste that onto my body” response from me. I’m just a sucker for a good piece of outerwear and an outfit dominated by black.

Speaking of black, two notes on her black accessories here.

Choice of brand is always something that comes to my mind, even when we see Taylor out and about in her daily life. Seeing her wear Versace immediately brings to my mind not only the recent memories of her outing at the MTV VMAs just last week (in classic black and gold Versace) but also me of Versace’s top tier placement in the Eras Tour setlist as part of her opening set. It’s subtle, of course, but I can see how even that simple evocation over into her street style would be a great way to keep top of mind her huge award show sweep and that she’ll be back on her record-breaking global stadium tour in less than two months. The bag itself has such a dreamy shape – love the curves.

The boots, on the other hand, immediately had me do a double take because they are incredibly similar to the ‘Babel’ Louboutins she would wear so often in her early years. Given Taylor’s propensity lately for going back into her clothing archives, that really would have given me a shock. But no, this pair differs by a slightly different heel and a side zip.

Attending Jack Antonoff’s wedding | Beach Haven, NJ | August 19, 2023

Larkspur & Hawk ‘Olivia Button Earrings’ – $1,200.00
Cartier ‘Agrafe Herringbone Twisted Necklace’ – $27,250.00
Erdem ‘Melora Ruffled Lace Corset Dress’ – $3,935.00 $1,967.00
Jacquie Aiche ‘Rose Cut Round + Marquise Finger Bracelet’ – $7,600.00
Gucci ‘Crystal Kid Scamosciato Mallory Slingback Sandals’ – sold out

What one can guess is the ceremony day, Taylor opted for a beautiful pale blue dress by Erdem. This feels like a vamped up daytime continuation of the lace two piece from the night prior. Adding a bit more length and replacing a scalloped hemline with a similarly textured ruffle detail is an A+ lesson in styling for the slideshow and building recognizable, repetitive motifs. Note to wedding guests if you need to plan multiple lewks over the course of a wedding weekend. This particular dress also maintains some sultry energy thanks to the moulded bustier-like cups and fitted bodice.

On the accessory front, to know me is to know I’m a fan of strappy, minimalist sandals. These ‘Scamosciato Mallory’ slingbacks are that while also being fun thanks to the crystal embellishments. Extra applause for going tonal with her accessories for a cohesive look.
