Looking forward to tuning into the last season of Succession, which premieres this weekend. Cos’ article with Kieran Culkin (styled by Suzanne Koller) is a good read. My wardrobe is pretty basic, but these Gucci embellished slingbacks are a fun touch of sparkle. Happy weekend, all!
The Loewe Fall 2023 show was full of leather, oversized bags and garments printed on garments. This look has really stuck with me – the oversized cardigan with matching bottoms is right up my alley. I fully support the large tote trend to make schlepping all of my belongings somewhat chic. Shop Loewe here.

The Smartless episode with Tracee Ellis Ross is a great listen. I love looking at both old and new photos of the fashion risks she takes, especially because I am fashion risk averse. This Prada look is a favorite. Tracee is a great reminder that fashion is fun!
This Zara dress is perfection to me. I have a few events coming up this spring and am looking forward to wearing a strapless style – the lengths vary and I’m torn between a midi length or a more formal maxi style. I think of this dress worn by Carolyn Bessette Kennedy often and am looking to emulate the look.
As someone who is petite, I typically stick with what’s flattering – fitted or skinny pants that hit just above the ankle. Lately, I’ve been experimenting with pant shape and trying more bootcut and wide leg styles at different lengths. I love how it elongates the leg and is a welcome change to my daily uniform.

I’ve been feeling nostalgic for the newspaper lately. The news is constantly bombarding us and it’s overwhelming – I prefer a simpler time. We’re in the thick of March Madness which is always fun. I have a lot going on this weekend, but my uniform of denim and loafers will carry me through. Happy weekend!
The Row continues to be perfectly subtle. Sarah Mower put it perfectly – “They combine elegance, comfort, and a reliable modern system for dealing with whatever winter weather throws at us. It’s very New York. No one in luxury fashion is doing this as well as The Row.” I can see myself in all of these luxurious looks and will be investing in longline leather gloves stat.

Award show fashion is typically hit or miss, but I loved many of the looks on the 95th Academy Awards red carpet. Andie MacDowell in Saint Laurent – she brought her daughter, who is my age, but I much prefer Andie’s mature and sophisticated look; Emily Blunt in Valentino is a look I would wear if I were given the opportunity to present at the Oscars; Danai Gurira in Jason Wu is simply fabulous. Call me crazy, but I love seeing what the men wear to award shows – there’s nothing chicer than a tuxedo (see: Sarah Polley in Saint Laurent).

Jordanna Sharp introduced me to this little bag and I am smitten with it. Most of my small bags are very structured (such as the Mark Cross Grace Bag and the Saint Laurent Lulu) and the Alexander Wang Scrunchie Mini Bag in soft satin would fill a gap in my wardrobe. It reminds me of the fan favorite The Row Ascot Bag at a kinder price point.

I recently realized a habit of mine that had me curious if others are the same way. When laundry is (finally) done, everything hung, folded and put away, do you find yourself reaching for the same piece(s)? For me, I can’t wait to get my hands on a pair of jeans that fit me just so and a cotton sweater with chunky rib stitch at the crew neckline, along the hem, and sleeve cuffs. It’s a great uniform look for this time of year that lets me switch it up depending on the shoe and bag choice.
