Toteme Garderob

 

Toteme’s Garderob – wardrobe in Swedish – is a curation of pieces with a permanent place in the TOTEME wardrobe that are worn everyday and over time. Truth be told, this is one of my favorite collections ever. I turn to it for inspiration whenever I’m struggling to put an outfit together and have scrolled the looks more than I would like to admit. I tried to narrow down my favorite pieces and couldn’t – it’s so good and I want it all.

It’s Been A While

 

I’m back! In exciting news, we are expecting our second baby – a girl! – in the coming months. I’m trying to take this opportunity to slow down, read more, journal more, and soak up the days of our son being our only child. This led to my site taking a backseat, but I am excited to be back. Thank you to everyone who reached out in my absence, it means more to me than you know.

The Row Summer 2025

 

The Row has done it again. The top left image may be my favorite look they’ve put out to date. It incorporates my favorite chic features: crew neck, ankle length, leather flats… it’s perfect. Per usual, Neelam Ahooja has one of my favorite reviews of the Summer 2025 collection.

Maggie Smith

 

Maggie Smith’s recent passing led me to reflect on her impressive career and her life in photos. She was an incredible woman and can only be described as a national treasure. May she rest in peace.

Playground Footwear

 

My weekend mornings are spent at the playground with my toddler. In the summertime, it was easy to find a flip flop or a slide that was appropriate and went with my uniform of relaxed pants and a crew neck. The cooler temps have made it challenging to find a shoe that would be playground appropriate. Sneakers are easy, but I prefer a more polished look and my Gucci loafers wouldn’t fare well in the woodchips. I considered Sambas and Birkenstock Boston clogs, but neither felt like me. Enter: the knit loafer. I think this is the fine line between casual and refined that I was looking for, and the fact that they are machine washable is an added bonus.
