inventive tory

 

Last week I popped into the brand-new Tory Burch store in Beverly Hills just to browse—cut to an hour later, standing in a dressing room surrounded by more clothes than I could realistically wear in a month (or two). The temptation was very real. Tory's new edgier vibe is having a full moment: think architectural silhouettes, unexpected cutouts, bold colors, and a little bit of that "avant garde girl who doesn't try too hard" energy. This isn’t the Tory of yesteryear—it's Tory 2.0, and my spring wardrobe is officially getting a major rethink. There’s a liquid jersey ruffled dress I could vacation in, above, a ginormous bead and resin necklace that could almost double as a top, an asymmetrical denim skirt that redefines everyday casual, and a red cut-out wrap dress poised to make an entrance. The shoes and bags are also statment-y--in the best kind of way. It's all polished, of course, but with unprecedented attitude—basically, exactly how I want to dress when the temps climb and the invites start rolling in. "Browse" the new spring collection here--and make sure to check out the chic new Rodeo Drive store. You might just want to move in with me.

getaway goods

There we were — 37 content creators deep — draped around the Nobu Los Cabos pool on Friday like a live-action look book, each of us in a meticulous edit of Spring 2025’s greatest hits. Think: the most flattering swimsuits layered under gauzy, billowy coverups; the kind of crochet and linen separates that float (rather than cling) in the heat. Every sandal was strappy and every pair of sunglasses had attitude. It wouldn't be unsafe to assume that everyone's packing list was cross-referenced against Net-A-Porter's Vacation Edit — I spotted Loewe, Eres, La Double J, and Zimmermann in the wild (and all before my first tuna tostada). Consider me guilty too, brandishing my Christopher Esber bathing suit, above, and Chloe raffia tote and broderie anglaise top, below. Shop the sprawling spot-on edit here.

Packing for a 48-hour work trip to Cabo had me staring into my carry-on like it was a crystal ball. Was I about to emerge as a breezy, lace-draped romantic or the sleek, minimalist getaway girl with a line-up full of neutrals and black one-pieces? One part of me wanted to pack this va-va-voom cut-out crochet dress (below) but then the other craved simplicity (head-to-toe Cos). Plot twist: I packed both "girls." Proof? The multiple bags I lugged on to the plane--a mix of Chloe rattan, rope-trimmed Alemais, quirky Prada prints, and basic Madewell.  My footwear followed suit: modern blue J.Crew jellies, plus ecru Rails jeans and noise-canceling Bose headphones for one personality, bohemian Beek toe-ring sandals (last pic) for the other. I also packed this, this, this, this and this. (Far too much but both girls love options!) Thankfully, my lip gloss had no identity crisis. YSE Beauty’s new lip glosses have a shade for every alter ego—whether I'm keeping it subtle in a barely-there nude or going full heatwave with a berry-hot moment. Took them both out last night! Style conflicted? Maybe. But at least my lips are consistent.

This past Sunday, I rolled out of bed and threw on the softest clothes in my closet, specifically made for kicking back and relaxing—and somehow ended up hiking the hinterlands of Brentwood, fully decked out in even more of the same (i.e., drawstring sweatpants and zip-up top). These are not couch potato clothes, to be clear. Think luscious double-soft layers, easy but refined silhouettes, the kind of wardrobe that moves with you without ever looking like you’re trying. It’s effortless. It’s irrefutably elevated. What started as a lazy morning turned into a full-on day, and not once did I feel the need to change. That’s the beauty of Varley clothing: as ready for slow Sundays as they are for the nonstop pace of Monday through Friday. Coffee runs, errands, quick catch-ups, quiet moments—these are essentials that meet you where you are, and make it all look easy. P.S. The knits (especially this, this and this) are doing the most while feeling like the least—and I mean that in the best possible way.

parkas and recreation

 

Lauren Santo Domingo, above, put it perfectly on her IG Story this morning: “Happy 2 weeks a year you can wear your lightweight coat to all those who celebrate.” And celebrate I do. Religiously. But in LA? I get more than two weeks—I get April, May (Gray) and June (Gloom). These in-between coats are my favorite kind of fashion loophole: they're polished enough to pass as outerwear, bold enough to be worn solo (yes, nothing underneath—liberating, no?), and perfect for playing the spring layering game. It’s the trifecta of transitional dressing. Lauren opts for a belted parka by The Row. My picks for this extended national holiday: this safari-inspired Blaze Milano (I have in blue denim and love!), the belted Mango trench, below, this Lioness (size up and up!), this overized Theory, this hourglass-shaped Source Unknown, this pinstriped, corduroy-collared Pilcro, this J.W.
