sezane season

 

Spring is typically the universe’s way of saying, Plot twist! Only, I've felt that way since January 7! Then throw in moving, a major solar eclipse, and let's just say things have been interesting. I'm not sure what's in the air, except transformation, and honestly, I’d like to be dressed for the occasion. Enter Sézane's spring lineup that accommodates my need for a sartorial security blanket (denim, always) while nudging me toward something fresh (florals, because, well, photosynthesis). Crisp jeans and a classic pinstriped blazer to keep me grounded and a vibrant print wrap skirt and matching top to remind me that change—like spring itself—can be beautiful. If the world is blooming, I might as well dress like it! I'm also finessing this and this!

lucky charms

 

I love a bag charm. There’s just something about the way a little trinket dangling from a strap can completely transform a simple bag—taking it from basic to playful, or just a little bit extra, depending on the mood. But, of course, I know myself. The love is currently intense but potentially fleeting. The cycle is inevitable--and so is what's on my bag: the latest Clare V lip fob on my canvas Kule, below. Speaking of things I’m currently loving (but may not ever abandon): the Eliou summer-ready shell charm, above, my crisp new Madewell jeans (perfectly creamy, not stark white!), the Eliou choker, below, my Dorsey paracord charm necklace (act fast!), Gap's leopard print denim mini and Chloe-inspired flip flops, Pistola's short sleeve knit t-shirt (my niece stole mine and I want it back!), and the red(!) Adidas' sneakers that I spied on the plane from LA to Austin yesterday! Happy Weekend!

staycation

 

It must be spring break in LA. The telltale signs are everywhere: a last-minute dinner reservation at the Beverly Hills Hotel is actually possible, Sunset to the 405 is suspiciously smooth, and my Instagram feed is a non-stop scroll of sun-drenched beaches and crochet (above). Not all of us have fled to Cabo or St. Barts, but who says we can’t fake that getaway vibe? Just throw on a glossy raincoat (below) over a pair of shorts or an Alex Mill windbreaker over a mini skirt a la Leandra Cohen, or a whisper of lace (oooh la la, Sea New York!) where clothing should be—and voilà, we’re living the balmy life right here at home. Other ideas: the Chloe jellies you can actually wear right now or the red flats pictured below, the Saint Laurent wood hobo bag, pictured (or this less expensive version), this sleek Theory boatneck top I promise will be on constant repeat, the lace Zara blouse that, if you squint, looks like Chanel, this striped freshly-cut Sold Out NYC t-shirt, the embellished Oseree one-piece (now with jeans and a blazer!).

springtime blues

 

London-based Lucy Williams has a severe case of the blues--and it's very contagious, because I just became infected! (Vogue calls this fashionable hue Pacific Ocean blue, just FYI.) I now need her J.Crew blue barn jacket, above, no doubt inspired by The Row's Spring 2025 workwear jacket (The Reformation makes a spot-on dupe and so does Alex Mill), her Mango outfit-punctuating ballet flats, and her Still Here New York sweatshirt, below. I also want to sing the blues in this, this and this!

schouler stripes

The calculus was clear: as much as I loved the highly-sought-after Proenza Schouler striped skirt, the price didn't love me back. So I opted for Mango’s dupe, above--and basic math!

pre-spring break

 

A few weeks ago, I got a head start on spring break—a dress rehearsal, if you will—down in Miami. My starring costume? The breeziest, button-down Free People dress, above, which racked up more compliments than a puppy on a long leash. When I got back, I passed it to my twin sister, who whisked it off to Puerto Rico and now Palm Beach. At this point, the dress is having a longer, more luxurious spring break than either of us—I'm just waiting for it to start sending postcards! (See more of its adventures on my Instagram Stories!)

springing up

 

I actually set an alarm for 7 AM PST this morning—which is saying something—because I didn't want to miss the exact launch time of H&M's new spring collection. It’s packed with those right-this-minute effortlessly cool pieces—soft ruffles, flowy silhouettes, and that elusive "I just threw this on" vibe. Honestly, the pieces are so good no one will believe they're from H&M. I snapped up the yellow ruffled tunic, below, these white studded jeans, and the Chloe-esque lace-up blouse, above. I’d suggest pouncing before it disappears faster than my motivation after hitting snooze. 

craving chloe

 

Back on September 26, 2024, I knew Chloé's jelly ankle strap sandals were destined to become the next it shoe. Featuring a feminine ankle strap, a delicate kitten heel and a design that equal parts refined yet playful design, they strike the perfect balance between bohemian charm and modern sophistication. Their arrival couldn't be more perfectly timed either--just as The Row's caged jelly flats have had their moment in the sun (and spawned too many good, inexpensive dupes!). It should come as no surprise then that they are nearly sold out at My Theresa, but you can pre-order a pair (for delivery sometime in May!) at Bergdorf Goodman. I bought the neutral "Sunny Brown" color, above, but the pastels are pretty and very wearable too! P.S. If you are looking for a fantastic (and affordable) dupe of the other Chloe must-have, the cropped suede bomber, last pic, step right up here!
