Black Friday. It can be overwhelming to navigate all of the deals and offers, so I am sitting it out entirely this year. Allison Bornstein shares my sentiments. I am spending this weekend with family to continue the Thanksgiving holiday and planning to break out the Christmas decorations. Cheers to you and yours!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. I am thankful for this creative outlet and the kind readers I continue to meet along the way. I’m celebrating with my large, loud, dysfunctional family in this knit set (top and pants) that brings comfort while feeling chic. Enjoy the day filled with family, friends, food and football!
Rest in peace, Matthew Perry. I grew up watching Friends and it continues to be my comfort show. Matthew struggled throughout his life and shared his story in the wonderfully written memoir: Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing (highly recommend). America lost a friend, and I did, too.
A recent trip to the city showed me a gaping hole in my wardrobe: flat boots. I contemplated the Toteme flat boots a few seasons ago but missed out on them. The Khaite Marfa ankle boots are exactly what I’m looking for. Saks has a great deal and I keep checking in to see if my size becomes available.

Returning after a brief hiatus. Given all of the recent terrible news in the world, I felt insensitive by continuing to post. My spare time has been spent holding my family tight and (trying to) reduce my screen time. A lot has happened in the last few weeks – Phoebe’s return, the 2023 CFDA Fashion Awards and the CBK coffee table book release, to name a few – and I’m excited to be back.

I’m playing cards with the girls this weekend and really looking forward to it. I scheduled a much needed haircut and I’m planning to chop it – this photo of Sara Crampton is my inspiration photo. These calf hair pumps (on sale!) aren’t my typical style, but I can’t stop thinking about them. Happy weekend, all!

Per usual, The Row did not disappoint at Paris Fashion Week. There’s so much to love and it’s impressive how beautifully simple all of the pieces are. I’m most enamored with the strapless and scooped necklines, and I appreciate the chic rainwear. Neelam Ahooja has my favorite coverage on the collection – she breaks it down in a perfectly stated way.

Kate Winslet is very chic. She is on Vogue’s October cover to promote her upcoming movie, Lee. I love all of her recent looks for Vogue, including the white, loose-fitting suit for Vogue World, her casual all black ensemble of a button down, leather leggings, canvas sneakers and a low bun, and (of course) the looks for the editorial itself. Kate is an inspiration in style and in life.
Ballet flats with the Mary Jane strap reemerged a few years ago, and to be honest, I wasn’t a fan. Now that I’ve had some time to live with the style and have seen them worn many different ways, I’m on board. The Row Ava ballerina flats are my favorite and Alaia has some beautiful options. I recently complimented a girlfriend’s Mary Janes – they were this pair by Rothy’s.

Coffee table books are an enjoyable home decor piece, and we’ve recently been hit with a wave of chic options. I can’t wait to check out Sofia Coppola’s ‘Archive’ covering the entirety of her singular and influential career in film. Allison Bornstein’s new release ‘Wear It Well’ “shares her philosophy and outlines systems that will bring your style into alignment and create a wardrobe that delights your spirit and reflects your most authentic self.” J. Crew recently celebrated their 40th anniversary with a retrospective of four decades of catalog covers and J.Crew stories.
