My 65-Year-Old Mom Knows What's Cool Before I Do—Here's What She's Buying Now

"I love this ring so much I even hinted at it for Valentine's Day from my husband. But with a J, of course!"

"A beautiful scarf polishes any outfit. I particularly love Faliero Sarti scarves because of their subtle designs, and I'm not embarrassed to admit I own four of them."

"I am a total jeans kind of girl. If I can't wear jeans, I really have to think about what to put on. Luckily in L.A., where I live, you can dress jeans up or down for almost any occasion. Some may say I'm too old for ripped jeans, but these are my favorites, and I stand by it."

"The softest and comfiest tees. I'm buying more of these this season and will definitely continue to wear them for years."

"This trench coat has my attention. I love the layers, the color, and the belt detail."

"I've been coveting these since seeing them on my best friend/style guru. Haven't pulled the trigger but can't get them off of my mind."

"I've been wearing Raquel Allegra for years and invested in this top about eight months ago. Emily was so against it. She told me to return it! Little did she know that tie-dye would be big in a few seasons."

"I love to layer my necklaces, and this just might have to be the next one I add into the rotation."

"I already own the GG Velvet Loafer in black and the fur-lined loafers in black, and I never want to take either of them off. So I figure, why not put my two favorites together but in brown this time? I think these slides would be equally well loved."

"I really can't wait for these to become available. I've loved them since I first saw them. These will be my way of adding some color into my otherwise black/white/beige wardrobe! I could live in anything Nili Lotan at the moment!"

"I'm not the most adventurous with my bags, but I do particularly love this one. It's subtle and wearable yet still has a standout quality. Plus, I just generally am loving Staud these days."

"I love an occasional purchase from Zara. Especially when it's a simple basic like this laid-back coat."

"Sometimes you need a light sweater for those chilly L.A. evenings, and this basic black Everlane one is both affordable and versatile." 

"No closet is complete without a pair of patterned trousers. They're way more versatile then they seem, and they go perfectly with my favorite shoes, white sneakers."

"I'm so glad belt bags are still in because I wear mine everywhere. Sometimes, you just don't want to carry a purse, you know? And this is the perfect solution to that."

"These are still my favorite go-to sneakers. I wear mine almost every day, but I'm considering another pair. They're just that amazing."

"Usually, I stick to basic white no-show socks, but lately, patterned ones have been calling my name. I love these K Bell socks because they stick in my black-and-white color range while also adding something extra to my outfit."
