OUTFIT IDEA | HOW TO WEAR RED in 2024

The days are getting brighter, and the birds are chirping outside my window, signaling the arrival of spring. I'm excited about incorporating more color into my wardrobe, although I've found styling red to be a bit challenging. While adding accents of red through a knit sweater, handbag, or socks is simple, wearing red from head to toe presents a greater styling challenge.

This red pleated dress from COS is stunning with its long skirt and halter-style top. Pairing it with the right transitional coat is essential, and I've found a beautiful off-white coat from The Frankie Shop that complements it perfectly. I've opted for mesh flats from Alaia to tone down the dressiness of the outfit, giving it a more effortless yet chic look. To complement the simple lines of the outfit, I've layered on chunky gold jewelry. Lastly, the Jil Sander Cannolo bag in lizard print adds a soft contrast against the vibrant red.

As always, all items mentioned in this look are linked below. For more spring fashion, check out my latest YouTube video on 5 Transitional Spring Outfit Ideas.

I guess you could say I'm old school because I still love collecting print. Visiting the bookstore on weekends is one of my favorite activities.

During a recent trip to the bookstore, my outfit included a wool coat, wide-leg jeans, a cozy merino wool sweater, and classic combat boots from Ann Demeulemeester. It's a comfortable yet chic and timeless look perfect for weekend wear.

OUTFIT IDEA | Small Details Truly Matter

I watched a video this morning showcasing Hermes artisans' meticulous attention to detail in designing and crafting handbags. (Scroll down to watch.) From sketching new designs to using special materials for mock-ups and final production, Hermes accessories embody thoughtful craftsmanship. This reminded me of the significance of everyday items like bags, jewelry, watches, and glasses in enhancing our outfits and expressing our personal style. Accessories have the power to elevate even the simplest outfits like jeans and a cashmere sweater, reflecting our individuality. As we curate our wardrobe this year, remember the role accessories play in bringing life to our daily outfits because, as the Hermes video emphasized, small details truly matter.

OUTFIT IDEA | Denim Days

I just finished a campaign with GAP, and denim is back in focus. During a recent store visit, I had the chance to explore some new pieces for styling.

Inspired by the denim selections, I created a lookbook centered around—you guessed it—denim. Featured are a deconstructed maxi skirt and a men's jacket from GAP, complemented by luxurious accessories from Bottega Veneta. Links to all items are included below, but feel free to shop your own closet for a similar look. Wishing you all a fantastic start to your week!

OUTFIT IDEA | Mohair & Penny Loafers

Playing with textures is a great way to add life to an outfit. Take, for example, this mohair blend polo shirt from H&M. The shape is classic, but the subtle fuzzy texture adds warmth to the outfit. The folded-over pants are a pair that I fell in love with instantly when I saw them at the Acne Studios store last month. It's a contemporary take on a classic that brings a simple polo/trouser combo to 2024.
