Lucky's editor-in-chief Brandon Holley was in LA last week, and we had back-to-back meetings with all kinds of interesting folks. Last Friday, we went to the Who What Wear offices to see co-founder (and our friend) Hillary Kerr. Brandon showed up wearing an apres ski-like, color-blocked sweater similar to this one, with a Boy by Band of Outsiders cropped schoolboy blue blazer over it and crisp blue jeans. Then she added a bold gold necklace. It was the essence of casual chic. You can wear this one with...

3. Lulu Frost teardrop necklace, $385, lulufrost.com

P.S. Brandon proved her deft packing skills, by wearing the same Boy by Band of Outsiders blazer to lunch in Venice Beach the next day, with matching navy shorts and this 10 Crosby blouse and simple sandals. It was a very chic-New Yorker-at-the-beach outfit. I am totally going to copy her.

P.P.S. If you're a stickler for cashmere, try this color-blocked jumper from J. Crew.
