Admired: Wendy Lane Stevens

With a level of effortlessness we all crave, Wendy blends vintage keepsakes with her latest purchases in a classic style all her own. Her wardrobe is a timeless blend of thoughtfully chosen basics, contemporary designer pieces, and well preserved treasures from her days as a fashion buyer. She invests in quality items that will stand the test of time and trend. I’ve never seen her closet in person, but I just adore the way she puts it all together; graceful and confident!
