a case of the blues

 


Chloe's highly sought-after puff-sleeve gathered cotton jacket, above is scheduled to ship next month (April 15 to be exact/order here or here). In the meantime, we can all work a blue jacket (see below this week in Paris) in this J.Crew, Massimo Dutti, and Reformation. Some puff-sleeve, high-neck vintage options: here, here and here

closet case

 


Moving into a new closet isn't just about organizing clothes and accessories—it’s a chance to take stock of what I really love to wear. Yesterday, as I arranged shoes and hung up my clothes, I noticed a pattern: My go-to Jamie Haller loafers sit next to my sleek Prada slingbacks, revealing a mix of classic shapes with modern sensibility. My focus now is on building a wardrobe that's both functional and true to where I am now. This spring, I’m leaning into mules. Miu Miu’s Logo Slippers, above, strikes the balance between home-sweet-home comfort and Fashion Week-stylish. Right next to them: Khaite’s Mia T-strap, below, a pump that somehow makes polished but low effort look easy (more sizes here!).

laura's looks

 


During fashion month--a time when editors are dashing between four cities, back-to-back shows, and party-packed evenings--British Vogue's Laura Ingraham demonstrates that as long as your top half is properly covered, what you wear on the bottom may not be important. She pulls off the trick(s) with the Alexander McQueen denim jacket, above, (an on-sale version here), a cotton Gucci bomber (less expensive iterations here and here), and a Toteme leather shacket. As for the botttom part: she gets off easy with Adidas track pants and baggy Talia Byre trousers, above.






show stoppers

 


While there were plenty of captivating dresses on Oscar's red carpet last night (Emma Stone, Lupita Nyong'o, Selena Gomez), it's the new parade of dresses I'm seeing this morning that are truly stealing the show with their everyday elegance and versatility. Take the ruffled H&M, above, that I snatched up on Friday and plan to tuck into jeans until the weather warms up. Also compelling: the ready-to-go Reiss dress, this linen and lace Farm Rio,  Courtney Grow's Etsy cover-up, below, this lace Norma Kamali stunner, this floral Isabel Marant, sandal-friendly sequined Cinq a Sept, and this Endless Rose strapless maxi. 






milan-ing

 


On her way from seeing the Taj Mahal in India to skiing in Saas-Fee, Switzerland, my Hawaii-based bestie touched down in Milan—only to realize her luggage was lost. And while it's admittedly tough to feel too sorry for her (LOL), she’s now stranded in the fashion capital with nothing stylish to wear—during Milan Fashion Week, no less! I suggested a few effortless ways to blend in: a statement yellow beanie, like the one worn by fashion show attendee and stylist Viviana Volpicella, above? Or even more versatile (and forever wearable!) Prada's new collapsible sneakers, seen everywhere (also here). Fringe will fly in Milan (and back home) too: here (I have and LOVE) and here! Along with this skirt (similar to last pic), this, and this. Happy Friday! 







springing up

chloe

 

The bag of summer 2025 has sprung to life before spring. It comes in myriad colors, too.

hip, hip, hero

 


This morning, I did two separate school runs—one for my kids and one for my niece (whose parents are out of town and whose school is across town)—and somehow, I feel like a hero. Maybe it’s because those three hours of crisscrossing the city were packed with multitasking: booking tickets to Austin for my kids’ volleyball tournament, catching up with a friend in Milan, and coordinating our move into a new rental home this weekend (yay!). While I was at it, I also sourced these hero-worthy finds: the Khaite statement cuff, above, the perfect sequined pointy-toe flats, below, from Emme Parsons (I actually LOVE the on-sale kitten heels too), these new H&M braided white jeans, the fashion-week-photogenic Carhartt jacket, and the cozy Toteme scarf knit. 







beverly hills benefits



Temporarily staying at my sister's home in Beverly Hills has come with an unexpected perk: noticeably better skin and hair. For that, I have my well-researched 16-year-old niece to thank. Her bathroom shelves are a meticulously curated collection of products—sourced from viral TikTok recommendations (most of which I’d never heard of), endorsed by her sophisticated, beauty-savvy friends in LA and NY, and vetted through her own rigorous trial-and-error experiments. Put it this way: even her hand soap is carefully chosen. Some of her favorites have now become mine, taking up permanent residence in my everyday Tory Burch carry-all, above. They literally spruce me up when I am cheering on my boys at their school volleyball games or heading out for lavish lunches at The Polo Lounge. The winners: this game-changing Mighty Fine Brow Pen by Benefit (guess what I have perfect brows now!), this Crown Affair throw-on-and-go mousse that adds a kind of texture to my hair I never knew possible plus this magic oil for my always-dry strands. This shampoo and conditioner duo by ROZ  is the only reason I am wearing my hair down more these days. She also turned me on to Innbeauty Extreme Cream (the most hydrating moisturizer pretty much ever) and this everyday-clear semi-gloss from Necessaire. The cool-on-contact steel tip is everything--just like my niece.
