The Pieces We Can’t Wait to Re-Wear This Fall
My fall wardrobe has considerably less turn than my summer wardrobe. The styles are more classic, I tend to invest a bit more, and truthfully . . . I am way less sweaty so my clothes last longer! Today I wanted to share nine pieces I reach for season after season. I had Carly share hers as well! Spoiler alert: we both can’t wait to wear our J.Crew boyfriend tees again soon. It’s still far too hot for sleeves, but these are a favorite purchase for both of us. We both sized up — I plan to wear mine with a wrap skirt, and Carly plans to wear hers with vintage Umbro shorts and loafers.

Styling Last Weekโs Best-Sellers, Vol. 19
Every week onย Instagram, I share the previous weekโs best-selling products. You can always see those collections savedย hereย on my ShopMy Page. Itโs fun to see what pieces resonate most with you. To build on our weekly best-sellers series, we added a styling element. Each Monday, I will choose three of the previous weekโs favorite styles and show you how I would style them. I hope this provides some fun inspiration! Today, we are styling this chic car coat from J.Crew, these Reformation shorts (a wardrobe MVP for me), and this super pretty dress from Farm Rio.

Weekend Reading 9.5.26
Itโs a really fun list this week โ a little shorter than usual but tons of great things, especially if you are a fellow media addict โ so many great book, TV, and film recs! Why is it so hard to make plans with friends? Gloria Steinemโs fashion and feminism. A few great home tours and an interview with Jennifer Lawrence. Easy dinner ideas, wtf is up with Loonen water, the cheapest places to travel right now, cozy recipes for fall! Plus the usual shopping finds โ enjoy!

Carlyโs Cut, Vol. 13
I was a woman about town in August! And by about town, I mean anywhere but Charleston. Grace and I have joked that we’ve barely seen each other this summer. Between her writing retreat, getaways to New York and LA, and family vacation, we’ve been living on opposite schedules. August kicked off a slew of travels for me, which is something I love to do in theory but inevitably find myself stressed by in practice. I booked back-to-back trips to New York, Mallorca, and Seattle, and while I’m incredibly grateful for the flexibility to see the world, I’m already thinking longingly about fall in Charleston and the comfort of settling back into a steady routine.

Weekend Reading 8.29.26
Topping the list is Bon Appetitโs list of best new restaurants and Vanity Fairโs fall movie guide. The trailer for the new season of The Gilded Age, how good taste is getting weirder (yay), the best places to go this Fall, how to spend a bookish afternoon in Brooklyn. A romcom Iโm excited for, how to make a crybaby cocktail, does dressing your age still matter? Plus: how to have a Nancy Meyers fall weekend, shopping finds, home tours, and more.
