I thought it would be fun to style this amazing Gia Studios skirt that I’ve had for many seasons. Unfortunately, they don’t make it anymore, but I’ve linked some similar ones here, here, and here.

For the first look, I was very inspired by The Row’s recent collection, specifically the look I’ll include below. It completely stopped me in my tracks and immediately had me saving it for months on end. I finally recreated it, styling the skirt with a brown turtleneck from Róhe (can you tell I’m excited for fall?), grey tights from Amazon, grey Jimmy Choos (similar ones here), and my lovely comb from Textile Seekers.

For the second look, I wanted to style something for those who feel that red might be a bit too bold but still want to incorporate it into their wardrobe. I paired the same Gia Studios skirt with an incredible corset skirt from Camilla and Marc. To complete the outfit, I added a vintage corset (similar option linked here) along with my The Row Liisa pumps and some stunning red earrings from Talina.

For the third look, I drew inspiration from Chanel’s Summer 26 collection. I paired the skirt with a pink button-up shirt from Almina Concept, tights from Amazon, and grey Jimmy Choo heels (similar here). I completed the outfit with a vintage flower brooch from Etsy (similar ones here and here) and the same earrings from Talina.

For the fourth look, I drew inspiration from Prada’s Fall/Winter 26 show. I paired it with a blue button-up shirt (similar one here and here), beige knee-high tights from Uniqlo, and the same Jimmy Choo heels.

For the fifth and final look, I paired a red skirt with a baby pink crew neck from Uniqlo. I added a red cardigan from The Frankie Shop. To complete the outfit, I wore Liisa satin kitten heels from The Row (linking the taller ones here; the kitten heels are sold out), red socks from Uniqlo, and vintage orange earrings from Etsy (similar ones linked here).

Thank you so much for reading all the way through. I truly appreciate it, and I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed creating it.

Until next time! x

I’m starting to think I never wore color as much because I always felt like I couldn’t pull it off. But as I’ve gotten older, loving myself a bit more, and thus being happier in life, I gravitate towards it. I remember seeing Dario Vitale’s Versace show for the first time, and it just ignited a sort of fire in me, and I believe many others felt the same way. I think we all just need something to look to and get inspired by when the rest of the world feels like, at times, that it’s falling apart.

A good rule of thumb for incorporating more color into your wardrobe is to start small. You don’t have to change your sense of style and/or your entire wardrobe overnight. You can start with small accessories like a scarf, a necklace, a belt, or a bag to pull the look all together. Then eventually add a sweater and then more and more. You get the idea.

My favorite thing to do is going full on with it. I like to wear an all-red outfit or add that pop of blue, as you can see below. It’s my goal this year to experiment with more color combos and, honestly, just have more fun with getting dressed!

I’ve also been into blues, glam, and post-punk music at the moment. I already always listen to this type of music, but especially whenever summer rolls around, and it’s sweltering hot. Whether I’m driving in the car with the windows down, or going to the beach, or taking a walk downtown to meet a friend, nine times out of ten, I’ll be listening to rock or alternative music. I can’t not listen to rock music right now. It’s just in my DNA.

Other things I’ve been obsessed with include cluster earrings. It’s a great way to add texture to your outfit. I bought these, but I also love these and these. You can find a few other things I’ve been obsessed with below:

Thank you all so much for reading, and I hope you all have a lovely rest of your week x

I hope everyone’s having a great week.

New York has been... weird, to say the least. Between the parasite headlines, wildfires, dirty rain, and all the talk about Legionnaires’ disease, it feels like there’s something new every day. But I’m refusing to let it get to me. Instead, I’ve been leaning into getting dressed and using fashion as a little mood boost. It’s honestly one of the easiest ways for me to snap out of all the depresso talk.

So far this summer, I’ve been loving mixing different textures. This look below is a good example. On its own, a black long-sleeve from St. Agni and a flowy maxi skirt from The Frankie Shop could feel pretty simple, but adding a raffia clutch and a chunky necklace could make it feel more interesting. Similar ones here, here, and here. I finished the outfit with an open-toe heel.

Since it’s been so hot in the city, you really can’t get away with wearing much more than the bare minimum. It’s tough when you love layering as much as I do because it’s just not happening in July. Instead, I’ve been looking for pieces with interesting shapes that do all the work for you.

When I found this piece from Gia Studios, I actually gasped. Yes, it’s technically a top... but I’ve been wearing it as a dress, and I love it even more this way.

I knew it was a good one when a woman shopping at The Row stopped me to ask where it was from. (Also, if you’re in New York, their Madison Avenue store has the most amazing vintage selection right now on the third floor. Definitely worth checking out.)

I paired it with this Gia Studios clutch and my Gewls heels, which I really can’t stop wearing. They’re my favorite date-night shoe lately, and somehow they make your legs look a mile long.

This next look is one I wore on a cooler, slower day in the city. It’s actually a full St. Agni look from their newest collection. I also got to model for their latest digital campaign, which was such a fun experience. You can catch a little glimpse of it on their Instagram.

This cardigan is so flattering because it sits off the shoulders and shows just the right amount of décolletage, which, in my opinion, is one of the sexiest parts of the body to highlight. These pants are very me. They’re relaxed, comfortable, and something I know I’ll wear over and over. I paired everything with flip-flops I bought in Berlin for five euros and this beautiful textured bag from St. Agni.

This might be my favorite outfit of all. It’s definitely one to save for a cooler summer day or those first weeks of fall.

I’ve been trying to bring a little more color into my wardrobe. Nothing too crazy, but enough to brighten things up. The cardigan and sweater are both from The Frankie Shop, and the white St. Agni pants are so light and airy for summer. I wore them with the same five-euro flip-flops, my Elaree Studio shoulder tote (which fits my laptop, so it’s perfect for work days), and this vintage necklace I found at a market in Nice last summer. Similar ones here and here. Last but not least, I’ve been loving this beautiful buffalo horn hair comb. It's made in Vietnam, and no two are exactly alike. The natural horn means each one has its own color and grain.

Thank you so much for reading! I hope you enjoyed this new series. I want to share more outfits here, along with a little more of what’s going on in my life and the stories behind what I’m wearing.

Let me know which look was your favorite.

Sending you all so much love this week. xx

I’m deep in a ‘70s obsession at the moment. I watched the Anita Pallenberg documentary the other day, and it completely reignited my fascination with her. I mean, how could you not be obsessed? She’s endlessly cool. She was the blueprint long before Kate Moss, and you can see traces of her influence everywhere. That whole world fascinates me. The Rolling Stones, their tax exile in Villefranche-sur-Mer, Villa Nellcôte, the music, the fashion, the chaos. It all feels impossibly romantic.

I’ve also been embracing bigger hair, which feels funny to admit because I spent so much of my life wishing mine were straight. So many hours with a flat iron. So many tears. Now, I’m finally appreciating the texture I naturally have. The other day, I brushed it out before getting in the shower and caught myself thinking, "Why don’t I ever wear it like this?" I think I’ll start styling it this way more often.

Other recent obsessions include GIANT raffia bags, chunky beaded necklaces, headpieces, capes, this tray, and a few more things I'm currently fixated on below.

I’ve been eyeing The Row crew-neck long-sleeve t-shirt because it’s exactly the kind of basic I wear all the time. I’d pair it with Nili Lotan wide-leg pants, Le Sundial’s sculptural necklace, and The Row Dune rubber flip-flops. (They're not in my size, so if you happen to be a size 40.. you're welcome.) It’s simple, but I know I’d wear some version of this outfit constantly.

I’ve been thinking a lot about dresses lately, mostly because it’s wedding season.

This Keni Valenti vintage long dress feels so beautiful without trying too hard. It’s the kind of vintage piece that’s getting harder to find. I’d wear it with The Row Imogen mesh bag, Aeyde leather ules, and Alexander McQueen’s tinted wayfarers.

I've also had my eye on this Pleats Please Issey Miyake set for months. It's one of those outfits that works for almost anything. You could wear it to dinner, on vacation, or just running around during the day. I love that it doesn't feel precious. I'd keep it simple with The Row Sara leather slides, a Dragon Diffusion woven leather bag, and the Alaïa wood bumper cuff.

I've also been saving a few pieces that are a little less expected. For some reason, this printed Giorgio Armani evening jacket with Rachel Comey floral trousers completely works in my head. I'd style it with Ancient Greek sandals and The Row nylon bucket hat, which has become one of my favorite summer accessories.

I can’t stop thinking about this Rabanne long-sleeve crew-neck dress. I’d style it with Manolo Blahnik leather d’Orsay pumps, a Chanel iridescent box clutch, and Georg Jensen’s 18k Citrine Torun earrings.

I actually gasped when I saw this Alexander McQueen 2003 vintage coat. It's dramatic without feeling over-the-top, and I have such a soft spot for McQueen from this era. I'd wear it with an Anine Bing silk V-neck top, Rick Owens silk shorts, and The Row velvet ballet flats. It feels romantic, a little undone, and very much where my wardrobe is headed.

I’ve been listening to a lot of Gal Costa lately. Her music is playful, radical, glamorous, and deeply emotional. Few artists captured the spirit of Brazilian music in the 1960s and 70s like she did. I’m particularly drawn to her image from possibly the Índia era, especially this photograph below, which embodies the beauty, freedom, and confidence I associate with her.

I’ve also spent an unreasonable amount of time looking at Japanese byōbu screens and convincing myself that my apartment needs one. I love how they function as both furniture and artwork, transforming a room without taking up much space.

My summer wardrobe has revolved around Balzac Paris’s Nerida Dress and Hollis Trousers, which work perfectly together and separately. You can see how I styled them here. I’ve also been admiring Palma Canaria’s Ambar Handwoven Macramé Maxi Dress, which feels made for long summer evenings.

I recently saw a Brâncuși exhibition in Berlin and was particularly captivated by a photograph of Brâncuși as a young man that I had never seen before, and I immediately saved it. Also in love with Timidité, Bouquet en surimpression (c. 1928), a dreamy triple-exposure photograph.

The fish jewelry obsession continues. Right now, it’s Like a Bird’s Viaje De Peces Necklace. I also finally watched Bergman’s Summer with Monika, one of the most beautiful films I’ve ever seen. Harriet Andersson is completely mesmerizing.

I’ve also been loving films and paintings with a darker, haunting atmosphere, like Le Sacrifice, Rosemary’s Baby, and Schwontkowski’s Natura Morta. Everything I’m drawn to lately carries a slight melancholy. It all feels suspended in time, beautiful, minimal, and a little eerie.

Right now, my saved list is a mix of vintage tailoring, some staples, and slightly more fashion-forward pieces I absolutely do not need but fully believe would improve my life.

There’s a vintage 1980s Gianfranco Ferré coat with a Norma Kamali jumpsuit, styled with a The Row clutch and Toteme slides. I also saved my dream Dries Van Noten coat with a Toteme V-neck dress and oversized Chanel sunglasses.

One of my favorites is a vintage Giorgio Armani striped blouse with Leset linen pants, The Row suede mules, and a Tiffany & Co. fish pendant necklace.

Then there’s the more fashion-person side of me: a vintage 1997 Comme des Garçons dress layered under a Frances Valentine floral evening jacket with satin pumps and a Chanel iridescent clutch. Completely perfect.

And finally, the look I’d probably wear most: a vintage Ralph Lauren Collection blazer with an Attersee long dress, finished with a Jenni Kayne straw bag and The Row bucket hat.

The RealReal is dangerous because it makes every purchase feel like a rare find rather than just online shopping. At this point, I’m less concerned with narrowing down my saves and more concerned with pretending they’re all reasonable.

There are also a few pieces that just feel fun and very “summer.” The Neous Megrez sandals are that perfect mix of sexy and comfortable, which is honestly rare. The Colleen Allen floral jacquard cape is more of a dream piece. I haven’t stopped thinking about it since Hannah Einbinder wore the cloak version of it to the Vanity Fair Oscars party.

Then there are the easy staples: the H&M relaxed-fit interlock shorts I ordered in an XS (a good alternative since the Leset Arielle shorts are sold out), and the COS shawl-collar blouse I’ve been eyeing since it came out. Toteme has a great version too, but I love this one. The Jimmy Fairly Elvie glasses in cream are my “I guess I need to see better in 2026” purchase, but they’re so light and sweet.

And finally, the Parklife Blur vintage tee, my favorite. It’s distressed in every way, has that cool green tone (yes, color!!), and it’s my karaoke song, so it just feels like summer and not taking anything too seriously.

I also recently found a Hard Rock Cafe/Fender tee, “Musician looking for groupies,” the one Kate Moss has been seen wearing, which only makes me love it more.

I also added a few more goodies, along with inspiration pictures below that I didn’t get into here, but are just as good.

Molly is bright and imaginative, but is living in a world that values fitting in. She’s labeled as “too much,” “difficult,” or simply “wrong.” She asks herself a simple question that no one seems to answer: Who am I without everyone’s input? It’s the kind of question that sticks with you, especially if you’ve ever struggled with your own sense of identity.

And then there’s the fashion! The film is stunning to look at, and if you’re into 60s mod style, you’ll absolutely love it. Even when the clothes feel slightly imposed on Molly, they’re still undeniably chic.

I usually don’t share gift guides, because everyone’s idea of a gift is different. To me, a gift can be as simple as spending real time together. Take me to a bookshop and kiss me on the forehead. Take me to a building you find interesting, and let’s study its intricacies and corners. I swear, I’m really not that hard to please.

Make me a playlist of your favorite songs, then sit with me and tell me how they actually make you feel. Take me to a movie and write me a little synopsis, what you loved, what you didn’t, what it stirred up in you, what lingered. Does that sound sad? I don’t think so. To me, the best gift has always been presence.

Of course, a bag would be lovely. Jewelry too. But sometimes those things can feel a little… hollow when there’s no thought behind them. I don’t need extravagance. I need a reason. Did it remind you of me? Did you think of me when you saw it? Tell me why. (Okay, maybe I’m being slightly dramatic.)

I love effort. The thought behind a gift is what feels sexy to me. If you planned it, if you paid attention, if you truly considered me, that alone is enough to make me say oh, amore.

This list may include ideas for things to do, objects to give, or simple actions someone might offer to a person they love, whether a friend or a lover.

For the Homebody

If you have someone in your life who genuinely loves being at home, the best gift is something that helps them sink into it.

A really good face mask. A beautiful teapot they’ll actually use on quiet nights, curled up on the couch, reading or watching a movie. Paper incense is another perfect option, chic and somehow cooler than the usual sticks everyone already owns.

Streaming subscriptions work beautifully here, too. If they have a favorite show or movie, a gift card feels thoughtful without trying too hard. It’s less about the object and more about supporting their favorite way to unwind.

For the Cinephile

A date to the IFC Center or Metrograph is already in the right direction.

You could also gift them a subscription to The Criterion Channel or, better yet, a limited-edition Blu-ray from The Criterion Collection. Something restored and considered, like Eyes Wide Shut or Birth. That’s a gift that says you really know them. You can also sign them up for Roger Ebert’s newsletters and a Sight and Sound subscription.

But honestly? The ultimate move is planning a movie marathon. Curate all their favorites in advance. Prep the snacks. Clear the day and hit play (lol).

For the Long-Distance Friend

When someone lives far away, the best gifts are the ones that shrink the distance. Plan a moment instead of just sending a FaceTime. Send a long voice note they can listen to while walking or cooking, the kind that feels like you’re right there with them. Mail something small but shared, like a candle you both light once a week, or a book you read together, like it’s your own little book club. Anything that reminds them they’re still part of your everyday.

For the Artist

You know the type. Every free Saturday comes with the question, “Did you hear about this exhibition?”

For this person, a museum membership is elite-level gifting. A membership to The Metropolitan Museum of Art or The Frick Collection says: I see you, and I want to spend time with you doing what you love.

It’s also a gift that keeps giving. Free entry, special exhibitions, members-only events. Perfect for someone who loves looking at art, talking about art, and being around others who love looking at and talking about art. Truly a no-brainer!!!

For the Friend You Drink Martinis With

An Uber gift card. Say less. No, but really.

They’ll probably use it in one night, especially in New York, but that one night ends safely, without a subway ordeal or (please, no) biking home in winter. It’s a practical gift disguised as care, which is honestly the best kind.

If they’re one of those rare creatures who refuse to take an Uber? Load up their OMNY card. RIP MetroCard, you were truly an icon.

For the Music Aficionado

Give them a vinyl record you know they’ll love, or one they should love. Something that fits their world. Include a note about why you chose it, which track you keep coming back to, and what it reminds you of. Concert tickets work beautifully too, especially if it’s an artist they’ve loved forever or one you discovered together.

Yes, some of these are objects. But they’re only part of the story. What matters is how they’re chosen, how they’re held, how much thought went into them before they ever reached someone else’s hands. An object becomes a gift when it carries intention, when it says I noticed this, and I thought of you.

This film truly shines because of its amazing visuals. Filmed in wide 70mm, the desert isn’t just a pretty background; it’s this vast, stunning force that really grabs your attention. Director David Lean nails it with his careful framing and beautiful shots, letting moments speak for themselves. You see characters almost melting into the heat, the horizons stretching on forever, and natural light playing a big role in every scene.

The movie takes place in this vast, confusing hotel in Europe, where time seems a bit off right from the start. A man runs into a woman and keeps saying they met the previous year, maybe in Marienbad, and had a bit of a romantic spark.

The problem is she either doesn’t remember him or doesn’t want to. The movie never clarifies which one it is. As he tries to persuade her, the film shifts between different versions of their possible past. Scenes repeat with slight changes, rooms seem to shift location, and people move as if in a dream.

Costume design has a significant impact on the film. Delphine Seyrig looks stunning in iconic Chanel outfits. Her column gowns and elegant shapes make it seem like she’s effortlessly floating through the hallways. The costumes really bring out the film’s themes of ritual, repetition, and illusion.

If you have some free time, I highly encourage you to check it out. It’s definitely worth a watch! You’ll be glad you did.

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized I still rely on accessories more than the clothes themselves. I love a beautiful coat or a great knit, of course, but the details are what tell the story. They’re how you make something yours. My best friend Christie, who has the most impeccable style and can genuinely pull off anything, always reminds me of this when we’re getting ready together: “It’s all in how you accessorize.” You can take the simplest outfit and, with the right belt, shoes, scarf, or hat, suddenly make it something interesting.

Lately, my Etsy obsession has resurfaced (although, does it ever really go away?). That little voice, “could I find this on Etsy for half the price?”, is always whispering in the back of my mind. And honestly, nine times out of ten, the answer is yes. I love vintage and secondhand pieces, and I’ve picked up a few treasures recently that I’ll probably keep forever.

First: a small Japanese box I found at a twice-a-year flea market in the 9th arrondissement in Paris. I was with my close and dear friend Andrea, another person blessed with incredibly chic taste, when we stumbled across it in October. It was 10 euros, beautifully simple, and the perfect size: big enough for jewelry, small enough not to dominate a table. I didn’t even think twice.

Second: a silver Art Deco leaf brooch I discovered on Etsy for $35. An absolute steal. I wore it recently with a Harris Tapper dress I folded into a top (they also make an actual top version), paired with a long Liviana Conti skirt from last season and my new The Row Liisa pumps, which were a birthday present to myself.

And third: a tiny coin purse, also from Etsy, also around $35, shipped all the way from Ukraine. I bought it after seeing Neridah’s wallet from The Row, which I thought was the chicest thing. Mine doesn’t quite fit cards, but it’s perfect for cash and coins and small enough to slip into almost every bag. I wore it the other day with a Frankie Shop cropped trench, an Aritzia pencil skirt, and a skinny, long Frankie Shop belt.

I'm still on the hunt for a few more accessories, a chic winter hat, some beautiful hairpins, and the perfect belt. Here are a few pieces that have been living rent-free in my mind lately:

I’m realizing more and more that accessories are the architecture of an outfit. They’re small, but they do the heavy lifting. And when you find pieces that feel timeless, whether from Etsy, a flea market, or a label you’ve admired for years, they stay with you.

Eyes Wide Shut (1999)

A doctor’s late-night journey unfolds into a complex web of secrecy and obsession. This film has become one of my all-time favorites. Nicole Kidman delivers one of her most controlled and unsettling performances; her monologue alone is enough to justify the film. The satin slip dress she wears in the opening bathroom scene is one of the movie's most stylish moments.

Metropolitan (1990)

A group of young socialites spends their winter break talking, arguing, and stumbling into adulthood. I often think about the white tie and tails at the debutante ball.

A woman from Brooklyn agrees to marry a safe choice until she meets his passionate brother. With Cher in opera gowns and Nicolas Cage in a flour-covered undershirt, it’s possibly the most romantic winter in Brooklyn film history.

In 1950s New York, two women form an unexpected connection that changes the course of their lives. This film may be the most elegant holiday movie ever made. Cate Blanchett’s tailored outfits, Rooney Mara’s cozy sweaters, the mint-green gloves, and the winter coats make every shot so stunning.

The Thin Man (1934)

A witty married couple finds themselves caught up in a homicide inquiry over the holiday season. Perfectly tailored suits, bias-cut gowns, and endless champagne = stylish chaos. The feathered robe in the Christmas morning scene truly embodies the 1930s' fashionable spirit.

A Christmas Tale (2008)

This French film follows a family that reunites for the holidays, bringing unresolved issues with them. As they gather in their family home, holiday cheer mixes with drama, revealing old grudges and secrets.

Miracle on 34th Street (1947)

A man claiming to be Santa upends a department store and the courts. Wool coats, tidy curls, and a classic department-store Christmas movie.

Desk Set (1957)

A research department faces “automation” when a new computer expert arrives. Katharine Hepburn in tailored trousers, sleek knits, and office party glamour is everything.

Christmas in Connecticut (1945)

A homemaking columnist scrambles to host a perfect holiday despite not knowing how to cook.

Plácido (1961)

A satirical Spanish comedy about a chaotic Christmas Eve charity campaign. It’s full of crisp suits, black coats, and understated mid-century European style.

Happy viewing! xx
