Fall Wedding Guest (and Event!) Edit
Wedding guest and event dress sourcing is the number one thing taking over my emails and DMs, which means one thing: it’s time for a little edit! We try to do a weddings and events roundup every quarter with the changing seasons, and here is this fall’s roundup. Right now, I am craving moodier hues or classic black for a special event. That, or a big bright warm red. It’s a specific shade of red — not too orange, but not too blue, either! This one from La Ligne fits the bill. I also love a cape detail, and this caped dress is a beauty.
10 Good Books for Fall to Curl Up With This Season
If you’ve been around for a while, you already know how much I love reading. It’s an all year long thing for me but if I had too choose a “favorite reading season,” it would be fall. The weather starts to cool down and it’s time to swap out my my breezy beach reads for something a little moodier. Think dark academia, psychological thrillers, and those perfectly atmospheric stories that keep up past bedtime because you have to know what happens! Today, I’m sharing a list of 10 perfect fall books. Reach for these as the leaves start to change and you pull out your sweaters. Whether you’re soaking up golden hour on your porch or curling up by the fire (or the Netflix fireplace, lol!) with a pumpkin spice cocktail in hand
Layer Lightly: The Sheer Styles to Wear Now
I remember last year when sheers were announced as one of the big trends, and Carly and I did our trend recap. I just couldn’t wrap my head around it! A blouse, sure . . . but on the bottom? Not so much. I liked the look on other people but thought, “maybe we just leave this one to the kids.” I didn’t think much more about it until this year when I saw this Cami skirt and changed my mind. I’m not sure if you’re the same, but sometimes when a new trend emerges, I need a season or two to get accustomed to it. And then suddenly it will click for me and make more sense. That’s what happened here.
Carly’s Cut, Vol. 2
Carly is back with the second installment of Carly’s Cut. If you missed it, you can read the first one here. And if you are like, “Who is Carly!?,” she’s The Stripe’s Creative Projects Manager–she’s worked with me for over two years now. Carly has a killer eye and amazing taste. Aside from her monthly vintage finds column, her role has been mostly behind the scenes. I wanted to change that as she has such great recommendations, and I like bringing in her younger perspective. Here, she shares what she’s shopping for, watching and reading, saving to Pinterest, and eating. The most important things!
Weekend Reading, 10.4.25
What’s coming to Netflix this month. Are you lazy or just a “career minimalist?” Tips and tricks from interior designers for a perfectly made bed. How to cook Brussels sprouts like a chef. The great personal style debate. How these very well-read people find the time to read. Noteworthy books. Keira Knightley’s thriller era.
Great Style Under $200
It’s very important to me to highlight shopping finds in a range of price points and one thing you may not know is that I have a “great style under $200” section on my ShopMy page that I update multiple times a week, if not every day! It’s packed with fabulous finds at accessible prices. Right now, a few personal highlights are
