I’m heading to the beach today for a much needed girls weekend – looking forward to a great time. I’m packing easy dresses, flip flops, classic black one pieces and my Hermes Oran sandals. I’ve been swooning over this open book display rack, but I’m slightly impatient and can’t wait for the long lead-time. I’ve asked my stepdad to make one so that I can stain it the color of my choosing.

In the latest issue of Vogue, Hamish Bowles writes about how much he misses live fashion shows. He mentions Donna Karan’s Seven Easy Pieces show in 1985, which immediately sent me down a rabbit hole. This is one of the first capsule wardrobes on record, and I would still wear these pieces today.

We can all agree that Elin Kling, the mastermind behind Toteme, is a style icon. Everything she wears – and designs – is effortless, chic and timeless. Elin got me back into polo necklines and I’m very grateful.

I found Khaite’s Ashland ballet flats on sale here and can’t stop thinking about them. They might not be considered a forever piece, but they would be a practical addition to my wardrobe. I love a good black flat and these fit the bill.

A sleek, low bun is one of my go to hairstyles, which I am thankful for during the recent heat and humidity. Whether I’m running errands or attending a wedding, it always makes me feel polished and put together.

This Pierre Jeanneret armchair is such a timeless, classic piece that I will never tire of; I need to find the perfect place in my home for it. I wear crewneck sweatshirts year round and summer is no exception – this one from Uniqlo is my go to. I’m late to the party and just started listening to The Row’s playlists on Spotify, I love their monthly picks.
The majority of my summer wardrobe is made up of timeless pieces by Cos – I have several of their shirt dresses and just ordered this one. Their website offers much more than just online shopping – check out the magazine (love this article by Lauren Cochrane on her new book The Ten), their impressive sustainability efforts, and the architecture (my personal favorite).

Lauren Hutton is an icon. I adore her outlook on life, aging, and how much the world has changed since she first started out in the industry. Here’s a great Vogue article from December 2020 and I love each and every photo in W Magazine’s 21 Glamorous Photos That Prove Lauren Hutton Was the Original It-Girl.

I’ve found myself reaching for my Celine Cabas lately. I love that this little bag can be thrown over my shoulder or carried by the handles. While it’s shown here with cold weather apparel, I wear mine year round and it compliments my all black wardrobe. @matildatheminimalist has tons of outfit inspiration for the Celine Cabas. Shop the Celine Cabas at Zappos, eBay and Vestiaire Collective.
I’m a huge proponent of s l o w fashion, which means that I usually haven’t made up my mind about an item while they’re still sold at retailers; I’ve been known to consider a purchase for over a year. The surge of the secondhand market has been a great help for people like myself who miss out on pieces the first time around. I’m on the hunt for: The Row April sandals, The Row Park tote and the Mark Cross Grace bag. I love scouring the secondhand market and have had great success on eBay, Poshmark and The Real Real – please let me know if there is anything I can help you find.
