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!).
My Birkenstock-wearing friend hates kitten heels. Which, to me, sounds like she hates puppies or something. I mean, what's not to like? They're sexy, comfortable, easy to walk in, plus yield the leg-lengthening, trouser-enhacing benefits of a high heel. And I am not the only one who's a devout fan. The infallibly stylish Moosgaard twins, above, just paraded their current go-to's yesterday in Copenhagen: the Aeyde pointy-toe ankle strap (also below) and the forever-classic Manolo Blahnik mule (more sizes here). I'd take these sleek shoes over a Birk any day! And I am sure I won't be alone.
Yes, I'm beginning to build my fall wardrobe and I'm starting from the ground up--with new pointy-toe mules. A super talented stylist I was on set with a few days had this pair from Balenciaga, above, but I also love these stunners from Loeffler Randall, Vince, Manolo Blahnik (on sale!), Sole Society (inexpensive and rendered in so many colors!) and Gucci.

If you're not quite ready to wrap your head around winter-ready boots, you might seriously consider Acne Studios (poised to sell out!) slingback mule, which Norway-based fashion editor Darja Barannik proves is out and out versatile. With its covered front and exposed back, this boot-like shoe is summer-to-fall worthy. Worn with tights, it can brave winter days.
