"It's more interesting to have just a picture of a small detail - then you can dream all the rest around it.
Because when you see the whole thing, what is there to imagine?" -Dries Van Noten

Hillary Kerr

Editorial Director and Co-Founder, WhoWhatWear. Los Angeles

What goes better than a pair of Loeffler Randall flats paired with a vintage Chanel belt? Well, in Hillary Kerr's case, it's a master's degree in Journalism from NYU accessorized with a bachelor's degree from USC. Kerr, the editorial director and co-founder of Who What Wear (yesterday, we profiled her business partner Katherine Power) has one impeccable sense of style.... but also some serious brains to match. Prior to launching one of our favorite websites, Kerr was a Los Angeles-based freelance writer, scribing for publications such as Teen Vogue, ELLE, Maxim and Nylon. Insert little known fact here: Kerr co-wrote Anna Kournikova's fitness column for ELLE. Before making her move back to LA, Kerr spent some time in NYC, holding down the fort at ELLE's headquarters as the Associate Lifestyle Editor, where she covered food, travel, and design for the publication. Kerr epitomizes someone who has an innate knack for the high/low method of dressing. And as much as she loves a good vintage find or Alexa Chung's collection for Madewell, nothing comes between her and her first love...her Netflix subscription.

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>Like most women, I adore a little leather jacket to distraction and am always looking for a new iteration. So when I spotted this yummy shearling version at Topshop, I literally gasped. I'm crazy about the over-sized collar and the buckles at the waist and wrists, two details that just make the jacket marvelous, in my humble opinion. It has such a jaunty air; it makes me feel a little like a modern-day Amelia Earhart when I wear it. The shoes, might I add, were a birthday gift from my wonderful business partner. Katherine always gives the most insanely perfect gifts, like these heavenly charcoal suede heels. </span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>Jacket, Topshop; Shoes, Christian Louboutin</span>#inline_02

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>The second I spotted this dress on Net-A-Porter, I knew I had to have it. The gorgeous print just killed me, plus the slightly swirly skirt is just what I look for in a cocktail dress. As for the boots, well, let's just say that I don't own flat shoes—period—but these boots were too perfect to pass up. They're my go-to shoes most weekends and I always wear them when traveling. (In fact, I build travel outfits around them; they're that important to me.) The necklace is also a staple for me. A friend of mine picked it up in Hong Kong a few years ago and I've found myself throwing it on with so many things over the years. It's kind of hard to place—it's a little Chinese, sort of African, and has a hint of the Southwest thrown in too—which is what makes it so versatile. </span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>Necklace, Unknown; Dress, Anna Sui; Boots, Rag & Bone</span>#inline_03

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>I can't begin to explain how much I love a collaboration and the Rodarte for Target collection is definitely one of my all-time favorites. I went to every single Target store in LA searching for this dress—one piece of the many (er, 12?) I eventually bought—and I have no regrets about doing so! </span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>Dress, Rodarte for Target</span>#inline_04

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>I've adored Alexa Chung's personal style for years, so naturally I needed to pick up one of the pieces from her Madewell collection. That collection was so spot-on, fingers crossed they do it again for fall! As for the jewellery, I tend to pick oversized pieces or brightly colored things, and I have a serious weakness for anything turquoise (the color and the stone). Banana Republic is one of my favorite sources for inexpensive pieces, I always go nuts for their stuff.</span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>Dress, Alexa Chung for Madewell; Turquoise Earrings, Topshop; Black Three-Tiered Earring, Banana Republic; Topaz Rhinestone Drop Earring, Banana Republic</span>#inline_05

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>The green dress made me swoon the second I laid eyes on it. It's probably my favorite dress in the world. I'm obsessed with all things green and the fact the print was hand-painted? Amazing. Even better: it fit perfectly—that doesn't happen for me with vintage pieces very often. Not to get too romantic on you, but it's like we were made for each other! The gold dress is just a great cocktail frock. I add a little belt, some super high heels, and a gimlet and I'm good to go! Both dresses are very emblematic of my personal style which is pretty feminine and definitely focused on the late '50s/early '60s. Needless to say, I'm kind of a huge Mad Men fan, to put it mildly, and I like to ask myself, 'What would Joan Holloway wear?' whenever I'm getting dressed. </span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>Dresses, Vintage; Jewelry, Lia Sophia</span>#inline_06

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>This picture is very Kerr-family oriented. My mother adores anything that has a vaguely Far East vibe, a tendency I definitely share, which is why I love a kimono sleeve so much. And isn't that peacock print just perfect? Props to its designer, the one and only Nicole Richie, that woman knows how to make a bed jacket! The yellow Bakelite and brass bracelet belonged to my grandmother. It has tiny seahorses on each piece of Bakelite and is just such a cheerful piece. (Also, I liberated that lamp from my parents' house a few years ago. They bought it in San Diego at Bo Danica in 1973; I love its chunky metal base.)</span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>Kimono, Winter Kate; Bracelet, Vintage (from my grandmother); Shoes, Loeffler Randall

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>I met Katie through Katherine (they've been pals for ages) and I adore her line Simone. She makes perfect little jackets, including this military-meets-Chanel iteration that I wear with everything from jeans to pencils skirts. The maxi skirt is my favorite new piece right now. I wore it during NYFW recently with a long charcoal sweater by The Row, an Hermes belt, and my Topshop shearling jacket—definitely my favorite look that week. It also looks quite lovely with a long-sleeve lace-trim blouse and a wide waist belt for a pseudo Brigitte Bardo-in-Shalako look. </span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>Jacket, Simone by Katie Nehra; Skirt, A.L.C.</span>#inline_09

Our lovely Art Director, Sarah Lee, knows that I'm crazy about Susan, so she gave me this magazine—ANPQuarterly, it's published by RVCA—which now sits on my kitchen table at all times. The necklace is Tiger Lily, which is a line designed Heather Gardner in Malibu. </span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>Necklace, Tiger Lily</span>#inline_12

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>Every time I look at this dress, I just wish it could speak and tell me about all the glamorous parties it has attended. I found it at Shareen Vintage in New York a couple of years ago and bought it immediately. It's so comfortable and the rhinestone-encrusted skirt is just sassy. It's shown with a fabulous necklace Katherine got me when visiting Kanas with one of her besties. The Chanel belt is probably one of the pieces I wear the most—I love a waist belt!</span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>Dress, Vintage; Necklace, Vintage; Belt, Vintage Chanel</span>#inline_16

The gray one is one of my everyday bags (I've worn it more than any other bag in my closet), the brown one is just so awesome with that Lucite handle, and the black one with gray trim is the perfect work/NYFW bag because it's big enough to fit everything in the world. Seriously, it's like my magical Mary Poppins bag.</span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>All, Chloe</span>#inline_18

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>The gold ring looks like something from a Dr. Seuss drawing to me, or maybe a baby palm tree. I love how fat it is. The garnet ring was the first semi-fancy piece of jewelry I bought for myself. The store said it was from the '50s, but since then I've had jewelers tell me they think it's from the early '40s. Regardless, I just love its princess shape and the color. </span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>L to R. Rings, Banana Republic, Vintage; Canister, Jonathan Adler</span>#inline_20
