There’s just something about slipping into a breezy, blooming print that makes me feel effortlessly dressed. Whether it’s soft and delicate or bold and colorful, floral prints have this effortless charm I love so much.

Jewel Tone Silks I Love Right Now

Lately, I’ve felt really drawn to rich silks, especially dupioni. There’s something about silk in a saturated hue that just feels decadent and luxe. Whether it’s a swish of emerald green, a pop of citrine, or that perfect lapis blue, jewel tones in silk always feel like a good idea. Eye-catching but effortless; the kind of thing you can throw on and instantly feel pulled together, even if your hair is doing something weird because of the humidity. (Me, always!)

Primary Colors! The Best Finds Under $200

2025 is shaping up to be a bold, bright, and color-forward year. I have been seeing primary colors everywhere, which is honestly the best news ever! Think cherry red, sunny yellow, and cobalt blue.

Who What Wear named “In Glorious Technicolor” one of the best trends for Fall and Winter, and I adored this piece from Marie Claire UK about dopamine dressing: primary colors feel vibrant and happy, a nice antidote to all of that quiet luxury from the past couple of years.
