These chill pills are so luxurious and smell incredible. I finished The One by John Marrs this week and absolutely loved it – my favorite read in quite a while. Find more of my recent reads here. @gramparents is a fun new Instagram account to follow; the elderly are the chicest.

Whenever the temperature changes, I look at past seasons of The Row for outfit inspiration. I’m an extremely picky shopper, but have pieces similar to all of those shown here: a short sleeved button down, a scoop neck tank and a polo neckline (all in black, of course). The Row does minimalism impeccably and I strive to emulate the same choices in my wardrobe.

Emmanuelle Alt, editor-in-chief of Vogue Paris, is incredibly chic. Her wardrobe seems to consist of denim, button down shirts, crewnecks, blazers and practical heels – a girl after my own heart. The photo above is from NYFW Spring 2014 and is something I would love to wear today.
The recent heatwave made me quickly realize that I need to upgrade my shorts selection. My style is pretty conservative, but it’s tough to find shorts that are both flattering and fashionable. I picked up this pair in both colors and am looking forward to styling them with an oversized button down or a tee and a blazer.
I am one of those people who is at the nail salon every two weeks. For the better part of a decade I wore CND Romantique (shown here), but after having bare nails throughout quarantine I now prefer to go with a more natural color. I recently switched to Essie Mademoiselle (shown here) and do gel on both my fingers and toes. Harriet Westmoreland and her client Sarah Coffey are great nail inspiration Instagram accounts to follow.

I took a trip to Barnes and Noble this week to stock up on fashion magazines, which got me thinking about making the switch to digital subscriptions. It’s convenient (and sometimes cost effective), but there’s just something about flipping through a physical magazine. Highly recommend this chic article on why The Row is the go-to label for New York’s most stylish tastemakers. With a busy weekend coming up, I’m planning on packing my Manolo Blahnik Callamus; they are versatile enough to wear with a slip dress to a wedding and with denim and a blazer to a 30th birthday party.

Toteme is about modern uniform dressing, which really resonates with me and the limited number of items that make up my wardrobe. With the right pieces, it’s easy to mix and match for all seasons. Toteme recently launched a handful of accessories with their finishing touches edit – I’m eyeing the leather pouch.

When looking for inspiration, I turn to photos of Phoebe Philo wearing her own designs for Celine. She takes the simplest pieces and styles them in a way that is sophisticated, yet attainable, for the busy everywoman. There are rumors circulating that she is behind a new “luxury, eco-conscious” line and I sincerely hope that it’s true.
Flattered is a new-to-me brand that is described as a flirtation between Scandinavian simplicity and Southern sensuality. Flattered’s website reads, “We believe in long-lasting products, not just in terms of durability and quality, but also when it comes to a timeless appeal.” I ordered the Eunice leather sandals in cognac to accompany this coastal blue Vince satin slip dress for an upcoming summer wedding. Shop Flattered.
With plastic bag bans finally in effect, there is an opportunity to find eco-friendly totes to carry anything and everything. A canvas tote or net bag accompanying a black leather designer handbag is the perfect juxtaposition. It’s practical, chic, and helping the environment all at once.
