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.
A fun weekend ahead celebrating our little one’s first birthday! It’s surreal to think that a year has gone by already. One of my favorite touches for any event – no matter how big or how small – is a Polaroid guest book. The images and corresponding handwritten sentiments will be cherished forever. Have a wonderful weekend, all!
Hurs recent conversation with Amy Zurek spoke to my soul. Amy started out at The Row and Khaite (two of my favorites) and branched out on her own to create handbag brand Savette. Her designs embrace a timeless and considered approach and the interview was a great read – I’m excited to follow along on Savette’s continued success. Shop Savette here.

Jordanna Sharp is one of my favorite people to follow on Instagram. She is an incredibly talented stylist and I am enamored with every look that she puts together for both herself and her clients. Jordanna masters the art of mixing high and low and reminds women to stick to their personal style while finding what works for their specific lifestyle. She’s incredibly kind and always quick to answer a DM. I’ve been tuning into her YouTube channel while I get ready in the morning – I highly recommend.
