We are heading out of town this weekend to attend a beautiful wedding on the lakes of New Hampshire. I’m a member of the bridal party and recommended this gorgeous coastal blue Vince satin slip dress. It’s universally flattering and will be a wardrobe staple for years to come. I’m looking forward to pairing it with a white button down a la LSD after the wedding. Have a wonderful weekend!

It’s no secret that I love Cos. Their new arrivals always hit the mark, such as this midi pleated skirt and the knitted midi tube dress. Cos editorial campaigns are exactly my style and give me so much inspiration for items I already have in my closet and where a new piece is needed.
Lauren Santo Domingo, Co-Founder and Chief Brand Officer of Moda Operandi, has great style and I pay close attention to her black and white outfits. She has a way of combining basics in a way that looks new and fresh. The many photos of her layering sweaters has me excited for fall.

One thing missing from my wardrobe is a silk scarf. They are incredibly versatile and can be worn around the neck, as a headband, tied as a belt or dress up an otherwise basic handbag. I love Toteme’s signature monogram silk scarf and think it would be a great addition for end of summer.
I love packing for the beach. I try to be as efficient as possible by packing versatile pieces in neutral colors: lightweight pants, button down shirts (my favorite with rolled up sleeves at the beach and unrolled in the chilly air conditioning), billowy dresses that can take me from day to night and, as always, one piece swimsuits. A few years ago I packed for nine days at the beach, two weddings and a rehearsal dinner all in a carry on suitcase – the options are endless with only a couple key pieces.

We’ve been grilling a ton lately and I love the New York Times sweet potato fries recipe for a quick and easy side dish. I picked up this $20 Uniqlo U T-Shirt Dress in multiple colors and have been living in it all summer – it’s so good. The Olympics kick off in Tokyo today and I’m looking forward to watching the United States compete.

It’s currently ninety degrees out, which has me looking forward to fall. Toteme recently released their Autumn/Winter 2021 collection and it is exceptional, per usual. I’m looking forward to wearing trousers, luxurious longline coats and lots of layers.

I absolutely adore Frances McDormand. The first movie of hers that I saw was Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017) and I tuned into Nomadland (2020) the day that it premiered – both were incredible. Olive Kitteridge is an excellent book (as is the sequel, Olive, Again) and I need to check out the HBO Mini Series where she plays the title role. Fran famously doesn’t dye her hair, get any work done or wear any makeup (even on the red carpet!) and she constantly seems awed by how relevant she is as a woman in her sixties. I’m looking forward to what she does next; she’s such an inspiration.

With a number of formal events scheduled for this upcoming fall and winter, a new pair of shoes were in order. I surprisingly don’t have a ton of closed toe heels: there’s my Manolo Blahnik mules which I love, but sometimes want to feel a bit more ‘strapped in’ and I dislike the flip flop sound in the dead of winter; and there’s my Chanel slingback dupes because I can’t find the real thing in my size anywhere. I found a great deal on the Manolo Blahnik Turgimod heels (still many sizes left!) and am looking forward to pairing them with black silk midi dresses later this year.

I am a minimalist at heart and thrive when each of my few things are put away in their designated place. I recently got this Lazy Susan skincare organizer and it has become the only thing in my bathroom vanity. I also picked up this bamboo silverware organizer which gave the utensil drawer some much needed feng shui. The sides are adjustable so it can fill various drawer widths. Next up is the linen closet.
