RSVP Yes: Soirées & Gala Dresses
I recently attended an evening with Oscar de la Renta celebrating Save Venice, a nonprofit dedicated to preserving and restoring Venice’s artistic and architectural heritage. The organization funds conservation projects throughout the city, helping protect its cultural legacy for future generations. It made the night feel both beautiful and meaningful.
It’s the kind of evening that signals a shift in the season when invitations pick up, the pace quickens, and dressing takes on a more celebratory rhythm. It becomes about presence, selecting pieces that feel intentional, elevated, and distinctly formal. Whether it’s a gala, a spring wedding, or an evening that calls for something with impact, the focus turns to silhouettes and fabrication that feel impeccably executed and visually striking.
This edit leans into luminous satins, intricate embellishments, sculptural draping, and soft, romantic color such as pale yellows, washed pastels, airy florals, and the occasional saturated tone for contrast. A balance of fluidity and structure runs throughout, with column gowns, strapless shapes, halter necklines, and controlled volume that moves with ease while maintaining shape. Pieces that hold their own in a room and remain just as compelling the next time an invitation comes around.

Amazon Sundays: Spring Finds for the Girls’ Bedrooms
A soft spring approach to the girls’ bedrooms, with pieces to make each space feel a little lighter, brighter, and more inviting for everyday use.
I always come back to a mix of practical staples and more charming details. Rattan storage baskets and fresh bedding set the foundation, while gingham pillows, delicate florals, and soft textiles bring in that seasonal shift. I love adding in pieces that double as both function and decor—wooden toys, dollhouse accents, and small storage finds that can stay out and still feel considered. Finishing touches like simple artwork, cozy layers, and everyday essentials help tie everything together.
They become spaces where they can play, read, and spend time, while still feeling calm, thoughtful, and pulled together for spring.

The All-White Edit: Four Outfits for Memorial Day Weekend
Sea NY Top & Pants, Valentino Wedges, Marisa Klass Necklace, Carolina Bucci Earrings, Altuzarra Tote
Memorial Day weekend is this month, plans are starting to stack up, and with it, the official return of white. It’s the first real signal of summer dressing, and this time it comes with a twist: crisp, all-white foundations accented with touches of red and blue that nod to the weekend in a fresh, refined way. It’s about subtle contrast and thoughtful styling—pieces that feel intentional, elevated, and just a little celebratory.
Vacation Mode
A crochet-trimmed camisole with fringe brings texture and movement, paired with sculptural bubble-hem pants that introduce volume and shape. The red woven bag adds a strong point of contrast, while gold jewelry and colorful beads give the look a collected, travel-ready finish.
Backyard Hosting
A lace-trimmed top and coordinating skirt form a soft, cohesive pairing, with scalloped edges and embroidery adding detail up close. A pale blue headscarf brings personality, while embellished flats keep it practical for hosting and moving throughout the day. The result is easy yet put-together, suited for long outdoor gatherings.
Out on the Water
A white cover-up keeps the base light and airy, layered over a simple bikini for a seamless swim-to-dock transition. A striped towel, woven bag, and beaded sandals introduce the red-and-blue palette in a subtle, playful way. It’s effortless and sun-ready, with just enough detail to elevate it beyond the expected.
Dinner Out
A voluminous blouse paired with white trousers creates a more defined silhouette, with shape coming through the sleeve and a clean line through the pant. A red heel adds a striking finish, while blue-toned earrings and a textured bag bring dimension. The look comes across sharp and composed, suited for an evening setting.

Tropical Pieces
Johanna Ortiz Top & Pants, Chanel Bag, Silvia Furmanovich Necklace (similar here and here), Kashura Flats (last seen here, more colors here)
It’s that time of year when tropical pieces start to make sense again, something you want in rotation for the shift in season and setting.
I always come back to a few designers who consistently approach it well—Johanna Ortiz, Etro, Pucci, Cala de la Cruz. Each has a distinct point of view, but there’s a shared precision in how the prints are handled.
What stands out is placement and scale. Motifs follow the line of the body across draped skirts, halter necklines, and relaxed tailoring. Prints feel integrated into the shape rather than sitting on top of it.
The palette leans deeper than expected in black, rust, olive, saturated blues with sharper notes of orange and yellow woven through. It gives the pieces more range and makes them easy to wear well beyond just a beach setting.
