April Forecast

Spring is flying by, but this is one of my favorite times to be in Charleston. It’s hard not to feel inspired when you walk outside and everything is blooming. The jasmine, the wisteria, the azaleas lining every street. We’ve been spending so much time outdoors, on our bikes, lingering at the park after school. The whole season makes you want to slow down and soak it all in.

This month’s forecast is a full one: Easter at home with family, spring break in the Bahamas, a gala I’ve been looking forward to for months, and two collaborations in the works. Here’s everything on my radar for April.

What We’re Doing

  • Easter weekend. We’ve already done a handful of egg hunts, but the big day will be spent at home having brunch with our family. I’m excited for the girls to open this and this.
  • My Easter table. I’m a bit obsessed with the Summerhill & Bishop x John Derian tablecloth I ended up buying. I covered it in my Wolfe bunnies and new La Tuile Loup plates — a tablescape that makes you want to linger over coffee long after the meal is done. I’ll be wearing this dress.
  • Spring break plans. Next week we’re heading to the Bahamas with friends. We’ll be staying at the new Potlatch Club designed by Amanda Lindroth. Her aesthetic is everything I gravitate toward — fresh, island-chic, effortlessly elegant.
  • JB x Margaux restock coming. Thank you all for the incredible support on our JB x Margaux collection! It was a huge success, with many styles selling out within the first few days. The Margaux team was able to place a re-order, so stay tuned for a restock.
  • Our second collaboration of the year. We have another launch coming at the end of April — our fourth collection with Jennifer Behr. This one takes all of our best sellers and gives them new life for spring. Can’t wait to share more.
  • A gala with a dream brand. I’m heading to a gala mid-month with a brand I’ve admired for years. I get to be dressed by them, which feels like a pinch-me moment. More to come.
  • This month’s book. I set a goal this year of one book a month. Last month I read Strangers, and this month we’re lightening the mood with my friend Chassity’s debut novel, Pink Sand Summer. I’m so proud of her and can’t wait to dig into this one over spring break.

What I’m Wearing

What I’m Buying

  • Hill House’s “Corsica” capsule. I love the paisley prints in reds and blues — it feels very Mediterranean summer. I picked up this swimsuit, and this mini dress was a close second.
  • Merlette in soft pink and chartreuse. They have such a beautiful collection right now. I love this dress, which I’ve had in the past in different colors, along with the skirt and top.
  • A long Tory Burch shell necklace. This one caught my eye immediately.
  • Julietta’s spring collection. She’s at it again with a fantastic lineup. My favorites: these nautilus earrings, this onyx shell necklace, and this shell and tassel necklace. All perfect to wear with something like this Zimmermann dress.
  • Eres, always. It’s the Hermès of swimwear. I have a handful of classic one-pieces and bikinis I wear year after year, but this season they got me with a chic coverup set you could easily dress up for dinner: the top and the pants.
  • Chiffon red pants by Alix of Bohemia. These are stunning.
  • A fringe jacket having a moment. I’m very into this Hayley Menzies one. The print is beautiful, and there are even matching jeans.

What I’m Eyeing

  • Prada’s oversized crochet raffia tote. I’m drawn to this one — the scale is just right, statement-making without trying too hard.
  • A new artist discovery. I save so much art constantly. A recent Instagram find — this video — led me to Yeon Kyung Park. I love her work.
  • New hurricanes on Moda. These are beautiful — I want one of each color.
  • A Fendi scarf. This Gardening scarf has been on my mind.
  • Cordera beaded bags. I love them. Two new styles are available to pre-order here and here.
  • Martin Brudnizki’s book. If you’re as taken with his taste as I am, his book is a constant source of inspiration.
  • Philipa 1970 for spring. I wore their velvet embellished jacket for New Year’s Eve, and their price point is really approachable. A few new pieces I’m eyeing: this dress, this jacket, and this kaftan.
  • A Janessa Leone raffia bag. This one has a very Chanel sensibility.
  • A new geo Ruggable. I love their new collection — this piece is my favorite.

Out to Dinner? Spring Night Pieces to Wear Now

Dries Van Noten TopFrame JeansFerragamo SandalsCordera Bag

Getting dressed for dinner always takes a little more thought. It’s not quite daytime, not fully evening—it sits somewhere in between. Do you dress for the weather, where you’re going, or the piece you’ve been wanting to wear? I’ve found once the outfit is right, everything else, hair, makeup, comes together quickly after (my go-to makeup staples).

It starts with a top that carries the look. A ruched chiffon style in a saturated green brings in shape and movement right away. Paired with a clean flare jean, it creates that contrast that always works—structured on the bottom, more fluid up top.

Color plays a strong role here. Emerald, gold, light green, rose pink shades that hold through the evening and don’t get lost once you step outside. One clear color choice can carry everything.

 

Texture follows. A beaded bag or leather clutch adds dimension without needing to layer more in. It feels like part of the outfit, not something added at the end.

There’s also a place for pieces that move—fringe, draping, anything that shifts slightly as you walk. Even a simple satin skirt or pant changes depending on the details.

Finish it with a sculptural heel or a minimal sandal that holds its own.

It’s really about choosing pieces that already feel like something the moment you put them on, perfect for a night out, whether it’s somewhere casual or somewhere you’ve been looking forward to all week.

Refined Layers

When the color palette is more simple, which, I know, isn’t always my instinct, I start building outfits differently. Between layers—structure against softness, polish against ease, masculine against feminine—the focus shifts away from color and onto how everything actually works together.

There’s usually a fluid base, a skirt or dress that moves with the body rather than holding it in place. Bias-cut, sheer, lightweight silk keeps the look from feeling too rigid or fixed. Adding a tailored jacket, a sculpted corset, or a clean, architectural top shifts the entire energy, defining the shape and creating contrast against that movement without taking away from it.

 

Texture becomes the point, especially in spring and summer materials. Silk against linen, sheer cotton against fine knits, everything stays light, but each layer still reads as its own. With the palette kept tight, the attention naturally stays on cut, proportion, and fabrication rather than color.

Accessories follow the same direction. Small bags, sculptural shoes, minimal gold—pieces that finish the look without interrupting it. It all comes down to how the layers sit together, and how each one holds its place.
