Contributors Our contributors share which item is worth the splurge this Fall... Lynn Yaeger is a fashion writer who lives in New York City and has an imaginary apartment in Paris, where she spends all, or at least most, of her time visiting flea markets. She writes frequently for Vogue, The New York Times' T magazine, Travel + Leisure and the Sundance Channel's Full Frontal Fashion website. "The item worth splurging on this season, and every season, is the item that you can't live without—the one that makes your heart flip over when you see it on the rack, the one that looks just the way you hoped it would when you see yourself in the fitting room mirror!" A former hedge fund attorney, Bee Shapiro is now a contributing columnist to The New York Times Fashion & Style section. Her work has also been featured in Vanity Fair, W, Harper's Bazaar and Fast Company. Though she lives in the leafy West Village with her husband, she daydreams about beach vacations, like her recent getaway to Máncora, Peru. "Ooh so many choices. But if I had the funds, I'd splurge on a Saint Laurent black leather motorcycle jacket. It's a closet classic—which might soften the blow." Fashion editor and stylist Sarah Gore Reeves was born and raised in Manhattan. She began her career in the fashion industry as a model for Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren, but quickly learned that her creativity would be best put to use as a stylist. Throughout her career, she has collaborated with photographers such as Patrick Demarchelier, Mark Seliger, Ruven Afanador and Norman Jean Roy. Gore Reeves has worked with celebrities and top models, including Sarah Jessica Parker, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Karolína Kurková, Gisele Bündchen, Cindy Crawford, Carrie Underwood and Heidi Klum. In addition to her role as fashion director of Vogue México/Latin America, Gore Reeves also styles and consults for numerous clients, and has a new television show launching next year. "I bought a fabulous vintage black-and-white Chanel jacket and a new Boy Chanel flap bag. Staples like these are must-haves and never go out of style." 36 BAL HARBOUR
