Who: Sally Burnside, Visual Merchandising Director
How would you describe your own style?
I'm always mindful of bringing a menswear point of view into my dressing, but I also live and work downtown. So, it's like "nerdy guy meets downtown girl."
What's been flying out of the store lately?
Sweaters. The Loryelle sweater ($275) is here for the holidays. It's 100 percent wool with an open weave.
What's one thing every woman should have in her closet?
A great fashion pant, like the one I'm wearing right now. The Reawel-Hydric ($345) is a super-cool, very wide-leg, pleated pant. It works on a lot of different body shapes. And they're very sexy, because there's so much movement when you walk in them. [Note: These are included in the sale]
What's an essential piece that will keep your wardrobe current?
A well-tailored blazer will always keep you current, because it's seasonless.
What item are you coveting now?
The Hanalee fur vest ($1,295) is so on-trend and an easy fashion piece. You can layer it and dress it up or down.
What's your idea of the perfect holiday party outfit?
There's a fringe dress ($495) I love. I'd wear it with opaque tights, a motorcycle jacket and a bootie or Theyskens' Theory pump. I just got a motorcycle jacket in Paris, at a tiny vintage shop in Le Marais. It makes the outfit look more downtown.
