stacked!


 

I was all smiles last night, surrounded by friends--all smart, creative and industrious women with successful businesses under their belts, with abundantly more to be made. We gathered at my home and talked Substack, how we use the blossoming platform to create and consume content. (In case you haven't read mine yet, click here!) My party co-hosts and fellow Substackers Molly Sims and Meg Strachan kept the conversation flowing with guests like Clare Vivier, Caroline Baudino, Michele Ouellet, Alessandra CodinhaLacey WhiteKnockout Beauty's Cayli Cavaco Reck, Janessa Leone, Jacey Duprie, Doen's Nandita Khanan and GOOP's Noora Raj Brown. Of course, we ate well, too, thanks to event designer Olivia Muniak, above, lounged outside on my new Coco Republic outdoor furniture set, below, and post-party pampered with YSE BeautyMeg Strachan also gave me a sneak peek at a not-yet-launched turquoise Dorsey necklace, below, which soon will be added to my Adina Reyter stack, expertly captured last night by Victoria Lampley of The Stax. Also compelling: the new spring fashion on display, including Gabriella Gofis's belted Soeur jacket, celebrity makeup artist Monika Blunder's pearl-trimmed J.Crew blouse, this eyelet Doen, this striped Staud, these bow-trimmed sandals from The Row and my blossom-trimmed top, below.

pinch hitter

 


I call them my statement staples. Dramatic and outfit-punctuating, they take a pair of jeans across the finished-dressing line within seconds. They get me out the door quickly and efficiently. And I can't get enough of them! I just scored a few more: the striped Staud above, the fringed Christopher Esber, the Sea New York one-and-done lace trimmed dress and the scarf top, below.

fringe fest

 



My latest Substack just landed--and it's rife with loads giddily affordable big-hitters, like the fringed Zara, above! Read here!

ahead of schedule

 

 

This Monday morning in May has me running ahead of clockwork, thanks to Shopbop's "Summer Sale." Yep, that's right: tons of hot-off-the-press pieces are (already!) up to 40% off. Justification for my buy-in: the Ulla Johnson dress ($252), above, the Johanna Ortiz bag and Cult Gaia mini, below, these rope-trimmed Beek sandals, these AGOLDE trouser shorts, the fringed Rabanne skirt, and the crochet Eleven Six dress, last pic. Stock up at the sprawling two-day sale here!









set point

 


A solid button-down and matching short set will still be a staple this summer, but maximum- volume prints will take things up a notch--or five! I'm going loud and proud with the Farm Rio, above, and would love to jump into these by Alemais, Cleobella and Figue. Happy Weekend (and almost summer)!
