coming in hot
Thursday, February 20
Stepping off the plane in Miami last night felt like landing in the heart of summer: hot, humid and leaving me wanting to wear next to nothing. Maybe that's why I'm craving this Loewe shirt (that can double as a mini dress!)--light, airy and effortlessly elegant. Also sunshine-ready: the cute cut-out Sandro and the (under $200) eyelet VRG GRL set.
made well

Picture this: I've got six minutes to pull off a photo shoot--right after making breakfast for my kids and right before high-tailing it to the airport for a cross-country flight. Total chaos, right? But these jeans made it work! This new pair from Madewell don't just fit well; they get me! They flatter in all the right places, go everywhere I need to be, and strike the perfect balance between comfort and style. Plus, they photograph like a dream! P.S. I'm actually wearing head-to-toe Madewell.

I'm back from Jackson Hole and so is my Substack! After a three-day stretch of crisp Teton air, powder-fresh runs, and the kind of stillness that stirs up novel ideas, I'm returning to newness, below: the $15 Mango faux fur scarf, the H&M linen drawstring phone bag, the eyelet jeans, the Mille leopard-print coat, the double belted Pixie Market skirt and the leather-strapped Dorothee Schumacher dress.
spring ref
Tuesday, February 18
It's 28 degrees outside, snowflakes are falling and my quads are on fire from yesterday's non-stop powder runs--however, all I can think about is spring flinging: lapping up sunshine, showing some skin, and breezing around in warm weather style. In this ideal spring-y world, I'd be head to toe in Reformation's just-out collection, featuring the denim bomber, above, the eyelet two-piece set, below, plus these cute gingham cropped pants and this linen mini, ready for all the rays!

detail oriented

For me, New York Fashion Week's true magic can be found in the unexpected, blink-and-you'll-miss-it details off the runways: the deliberate weight of a tassel necklace cascading over a turtleneck, the effortless loop of a scarf that catches the wind just right, the hip-cinching belt that pulls everything together. These are the signifiers of cool, the micro-trends that telegraph what's next before it becomes a full-blown movement. The key to pulling off these flourishes is making them look effortless, unforced--the kind of styling that feels at once spontaneous and impeccably curated. For an instant ahead-of-the-curve vibe, swap out your layered necklaces for a single long statement necklace. (Olivia, below, is wearing an onyx and sterling silver necklace by Le Sundial and a large silver shell pendant by Juju Vera.) Etsy has some stunning well-priced vintage options like this and this; H&M has one too! Leandra Cohen, last pic, twirls a black silk sash around her neck to take her tank and jeans from well-dressed to unforgettable. That layered wrap-around scarf that looks unintentionally thrown on (see second to last pic) can be executed flawlessly with some help from Cos. To get a jump on the newsboy caps shown at Khaite, last pic, head here. Random other styling shortcuts: this denim GAP cape jacket (part of the "Gapaissance!"), Line & Dot trench ($148) and layered knit, and this Ganni leopard-print coat. Remember, at the end of the day, it's not just what we wear, but how we wear it!

all whitey
Tuesday, February 11
Looks like the biggest street style star of New York is winter-white denim. How to wear it right now? With cold-weather statements: leather, shearling, oversized knits, and plenty of layering (Leandra, above, is wearing a down Bogner underneath for extra warmth with high-waisted skinny ankle slit jeans! Ramya, immediately below, is working fringed High Sport pants). The best most flattering white denim in the market: Pistola (in ecru and sold out everywhere but here), AGOLDE, Still Here, Khaite and Madewell.
While white jeans in winter has long been a thing, what's new--and about to be big--is the funnel shirt. NYC-based cult brand TWP, known for its signature button-down shirts, showcased the fresh silhouette this past week, layered under everything from sweaters to jackets. Trust me, it's a must-have in the making. I am jumping on this trend now with this version from Cos and this on-sale organza Toteme.
