"  Harper&amp;#039;s Bazaar: Describe the look you&amp;#039;re going for this fall. Amanda Brooks: I always have a pretty classic silhouette that I update and evolve with accessories. Now, in my late 30s, I&amp;#039;ve finally accepted the things that look good on me and the things that don&amp;#039;t. I&amp;#039;m really excited by texture: shearling, swakara, chunky knits. I also love the sportier baseball and skiing-inspired looks. With shoes I&amp;#039;m going in opposite directions: flat boots on the one hand and then killer pumps reminiscent of the &amp;#039;80s. HB: Who are your perennial style icons? AB: Jane Birkin, early Lauren Hutton, Sofia Coppola, Susanne Deeken, and Camilla Nickerson. HB: Tell us about your shopping methodology. AB: I&amp;#039;m a total impulse shopper. I shop when I have time to stop in stores, which these days happens almost exclusively at Barneys. Being in the store so often is dangerous for me. HB: What are some of your other favorite places to go? AB: I have more time when I travel, like at 10 Corso Como in Milan, Colette in Paris and designer boutiques like Isabel Marant and C\u00E9line. HB: Ideally, clicks or bricks? AB: I shop primarily in stores because I like to try things on, but I love to shop the sales online at barneys.com. By that time, I&amp;#039;ve usually tried on all the things I love and am just looking to get a better price! HB: What&amp;#039;s the most valuable shopping lesson you&amp;#039;ve learned? AB: Quit while you&amp;#039;re ahead. Overdoing it takes the pleasure out of it. HB: What&amp;#039;s your policy on shopping off other women? AB: I don&amp;#039;t tend to, but I have no problem getting the same things as my friends or [vice versa]. Every woman has her own style and things look different on different people. It doesn&amp;#039;t bother me. HB: What&amp;#039;s the first expensive piece of designer clothing you ever bought? AB: The memory that stays with me most is an OMO Norma Kamali outfit when I was 13. It was an all-white long-sleeved T-shirt, leggings, and miniskirt with the washing instructions printed all over in red. After much begging, my mom indulged me. I can&amp;#039;t remember where I wore it. The thrill of the acquisition seemed to make a greater impression. HB: What is your greatest retail triumph? AB: Finding more unique things from designers I love. Recent favorites are my Ala\u00EFa sandals lined in leopard and a C\u00E9line baseball T-shirt with an embroidered tiger logo that I found in their boutique in Florence and had never seen. HB: Other than texture and sporty looks, which fall trends do you really love? AB: Rich colors like burgundy and teal, &amp;#039;60s couture-inspired details, and a more feminine, ladylike silhouette.  HB: Finally, how do you like to celebrate a really good shopping high? AB: By immediately wearing what I just bought! See the shopping lists of more stylish professionals Emily Weiss, Yasmin Sewell and Lisa Marie Fernandez. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
