    DAY ONE: I run a website called JeanStories.com that’s all about denim (I’m also a Vogue.com contributor). When I’m working from home, I like to dress comfortably. I live in Prospect Heights in Brooklyn, where there are blocks and blocks of historical brownstones with classic stoops. A lot of hanging out happens on my stoop! My jeans are Levi’s Orange Tab, and I love them because they’re sort of mom—high waist, roomy leg—but then the holes make them not-mom, and then the soft-blue color is so pretty and goes with everything.

    My sweatshirt was a steal because I got it at the Jil Sander sample sale. It’s from **Raf Simons’**s fall 2011 collection for the house, which I loved—and still love because of how sporty and playful it was.

    I love Bumble and Bumble’s Brilliantine, and I mix that with a drop of Leonor Greyl Huile de Palme, but one drop mixed with the Brilliantine just calms any unruly activity. No frizz! Not too oily! On my lips, I like the YSL Sheer Candy lip colors. I stock up at the Duty Free every time I’m at the airport. I am really into lining my eyes with just a bit of gold eyeliner—under the eye only. MAC Powersurge is the one. Because my eyes are a hazel-y/green, the gold just makes them stand out and look especially reflective. I draw a fine line under my eye, all the way into the inner corner, and then I apply black mascara (CoverGirl) to my top lashes after curling them.

    When I visited accessories designer Clare Vivier in L.A. to talk about the denim accessories she’s now making (so chic, by the way), she surprised me with this. The lettering is real gold (!) and the foldover is such a great, versatile shape. It fits a lot, but if you only want to carry a little, it folds in half and still looks smart. I suspect Clare knew that the red and blue color combination would look especially good with denim when she gave it to me.

    I’m from L.A. Ripped jeans and Vans are California classics. (Hat tip to my skateboarding husband, Justin, for his influence on me.)

    DAY TWO: This is a trusty combo of mine: The fur-collared military vest layered under my Balenciaga peacoat. I got the vest at a vintage store on Portobello Road in London and had it tailored to fit me just a tad bit better than it did when I bought it.
