I recently nabbed this striped sweater and have worn it way more than I would care to admit. Whether draped over my shoulders or worn as an additional layer in cooler temps, I adore this sweater. The price point means I don’t have to worry about my little one running to me with sticky fingers. The ivory with black stripes adds a bit of prep to my black wardrobe and feels nautical – perfect for summer.
We are six months in to the year of good books and I just finished a great one. I devoured A Little Life and even took a day off work to read at the beach. This book left me absolutely heartbroken and I find myself polling everyone I interact with to see if they have read it so we can discuss. Since finishing it, I’m looking for lighter reads. Luckily, Elin Hilderbrand’s (last!) Nantucket novel, Swan Song is available tomorrow.
I have been lusting after The Row’s lambskin band ballerina flats but needed to find a budget friendly alternative. The Jeffrey Campbell Dancerina flats kept coming up, but I was disappointed in the synthetic materials. A new-to-me brand, Tony Bianco, was recommended for this style in genuine leather. I opted for the Martinez flat and the Javier flat (I was on the hunt for slingback flats here) and have worn them both more than anticipated. Highly recommend!

Olympia Gayot, Creative Director and Head of Women’s Design at J. Crew, is such an inspiration. I enjoyed this profile on Olympia and learning more about her backstory. She is doing incredible things for the brand and I appreciate wearing pieces designed by a working mom. A few of my current favorite pieces are the linen popover dress, the beach shirt, the boatneck tee and I am counting down the days until this bag is available. Keep it up, Olympia.

I recently recommended the Celine Triomphe sunglasses to a girlfriend looking for a new pair. They are impossibly chic, elevate every look and fulfill a piece I was looking for. Splurging on sunglasses is controversial, especially when there are so many look-for-less options, but I appreciate the high quality in something that I wear year round. Here’s hoping these have staying power for decades to come.

Linnea Lund is a new-to-me cashmere brand and I am thoroughly impressed. Their business model is made to order, which protects our planet and promotes a sustainable approach while giving the customer a very special piece. There are few things I love more than peeking behind the scenes at how our garments are made. Linnea Lund is a breath of fresh air from the overconsumption fast fashion on the market.

I recently went to see Challengers and enjoyed all of Zendaya’s looks in the movie. Her ever present Loewe Flamenco XL piqued my interest in this bag. I adored her ‘stealth wealth’ looks, complete with Chanel espadrilles, a Cartier love bracelet and a silver/gold Panthère de Cartier watch. I was not surprised to see Jonathan Anderson’s name in the credits – it was his first time outfitting a film and I look forward to his future movie styling.
