100 issues. I can’t believe it. Thank you for being here.

If you missed the first edition of my new series Not the Clothes, it’s a really good read. I already have the next guest locked and loaded and I can’t wait to share her with you.

And thank you for all the kind messages about the goop piece ❤️


Amy Smilovic said something on instagram recently that I haven’t stopped thinking about. She was talking about mom dressing. The hockey arena. The dance class. The baseball stands. The default outfits we see everywhere that don’t really feel like us.

“This is not about the puffer mom being wrong. Or unstylish. Or any of that, truly.”

“If you love what you own, if you’ve put together your closet in a way that communicates your personal style, then you don’t have to forgo it when you find yourself in situations that are, well, quite situational.”

When your closet really represents you, you can make it work anywhere. Swim class. The soccer field. A kids birthday party. Pick up.

This is how I live. This is how I dress.

This is what I want all my clients to experience. That’s my goal. (A few more client spots left for June if you want a session before summer. Book here)

donni baby tee, donni pants, flats
old doen shorts, old lululemon tee (this linen one does same)
old redone tee, old st agni trousers (these are similar)

I’ve talked about this black linen tee in other issues. I’m going to wear it a lot this summer. Out for dinner. Thrown on during the really hot days. The sandals and bag are my POV.

Toteme satin trousers from last year (I just bought these and they are perfect and fluid and similar vibe) sandals, bag is paco from 4-5 years ago

Below in the same tee. Different outfit.
