The April Forecast
Spring is fully underway, and April already feels like a turning point. We’re in the early days of settling into our new home—a project that’s been both energizing and a little chaotic in the best way. This month is shaping up to be a mix of everyday rhythms and quick getaways, with Easter prep, a mid-month trip to Barbados, and the beginning of our design process all in motion. Below, what I’m wearing, buying, eyeing, and organizing as the season unfolds.
What We’re Doing
- Settling into our new house—we brought in NEAT Method Charleston to help us organize post-move, and it’s easily the best decision we’ve made so far.
- Traveling to Barbados mid-month with friends. It’s our first time visiting, and I’ve been gathering visual inspiration—palm-filtered light, saturated blues, and the kind of architecture that makes you want to slow down and stay awhile.
- Prepping for Easter. I’ve filled the house with a few of these charming bunnies, which the girls have taken to (carefully) relocating from room to room.
- Sneaking away for a quick retreat in the Bahamas with a group of women I truly admire.
- Officially beginning our home design process and meeting with Summer Thornton this week.
- Opening the pool at our new house, which has become the centerpiece of our girls’ at-home spring break this year.
What I’m Wearing
- For a dress-up night in Barbados, I’m bringing this Etro dress—it feels right for warm evenings.
- These green silk pants from Rohe have quickly become my spring uniform. They’re relaxed but smart, especially with a white tank.
- Speaking of, this white tank is the one I’ve been reaching for most often—clean lines, great cut.
- This colorful set is equal parts fun and unexpected. I wore the top with jeans last week, saving the full look for an upcoming event.
- These turquoise and rattan heels feel very me—simple with a standout detail.
- The Lena sandal by Margaux has fully entered my rotation—comfortable, flattering, and quietly stylish.
What I’m Buying
- Just ordered this set of marbled glasses for the new bar—beautiful on open shelving.
- A new colorway in a favorite pair of sneakers—always useful for travel days.
- Emporio Sirenuse continues to be a go-to. I just added this striking skirt to the mix.
- On the practical side: these laundry baskets are a recent solve. Thomas requested plastic, I wanted something that still looked good—somehow, these do both.
- A new hue in my favorite bra (the scoop shape)—the fit is unmatched.
- Just added this bracelet stack for spring—easy to throw on with anything.
- For the girls’ Easter baskets, I put together this collection of small, sweet gifts.
- Restocked my favorite beauty Matcha from Kroma—this one is delicious and feels like a treat.
- This Christopher John Rogers dress is a piece I couldn’t stop thinking about—graphic, sculptural, and beautifully made.
What I’m Eyeing
- My Gucci loafers are on heavy repeat, and now this updated version is sitting in my cart.
- This marbled dress just caught my eye with its dramatic color blend.
- There are a handful of marble accents I’ve been bookmarking for the house. This tray is high on the list.
- The Frick reopens this month after a major renovation, and I’m tempted to plan a quick trip to NYC to see it (and visit the new Printemps store, too).
- My jewelry wishlist is always growing, and this Carolina Bucci Soho necklace is currently at the top.
- I love a good woven texture, and this Salvesen Graham fabric is especially beautiful. I also just pre-ordered their new book to add to my design library.

Dressed for the Afterglow
Outfit Details: Rixo Dress, Miu Miu Bag, Ancient Greek Sandals, Carolina Bucci Necklace (similar, less expensive here and here)
There’s a specific kind of dressing that only happens as the sun starts to drop. The light goes warm and low, everything picks up a little shine, and I want to be wearing something that catches it.
That instinct is exactly what pulled me toward this Rixo dress. Between the mirrored embroidery and the rainbow watercolor effect, it’s the kind of piece that feels special without trying too hard. Fun, a little dazzling, easy to fall for. This edit follows the same idea. Every piece has some shine, sparkle, or bit of embellishment that comes alive as the day winds down, all in those warm, glowy tones that feel just right for July nights.
Multi Stone Necklace
The rainbow stones on this necklace add jewelry-box color against sun-warmed skin.
Silk Halter Top
Silk draping with its high neckline make this halter top feel striking for golden-hour plans.

Amazon Sundays: Get Ahead on Back to School
This week’s Amazon Sunday is all about getting ahead on back-to-school supplies while summer is still very much happening. I’m soaking up the last of it, but the first day always has a way of sneaking up right behind me. The idea is to have the necessities prepped and ready to go now, so that when the morning actually comes, the only thing left to think about is packing lunch.
I pulled together the pieces that make the transition feel easier, from a lunchbox that keeps everything fresh to craft supplies and notebooks. Then all the things that keep routines organized, like a label maker, family calendar, and a restock on my favorite stain treater.
Browse the full selection below, and explore more in our JB Amazon Shop and Amazon Storefront, refreshed weekly.
Personalized Backpack
A personalized backpack makes the first day feel a little more official, and it is one of those pieces that feels just as useful for school mornings as it does for weekend activities.
Kids Art Smock
An art smock is exactly the kind of small thing you are happy to have before the projects start coming home, keeping paint, markers, and glue a little more contained from the very beginning of the school year.

The Matching Set, But Make It Swim
Outfit Details: Montce Bikini & Pants, Eliou Necklace (old, similar here), Janessa Leone Hat, Ancient Greek Sandals, Retrosuperfuture Sunglasses
There is something so satisfying about a matching set, that feeling of being put together head to toe with almost zero thinking required. Swimwear makes an especially good case for it. I love when a suit has a second act, a sarong, a pair of pants, or a linen dress cut from the same print, so the move from pool to lunch barely counts as an outfit change. The last thing I want to think through is an elaborate look when the whole point of the day is relaxing by the water.
That is what a set like this solves. It adds polish and intention to beach dressing, building a look full of color and personality that still makes sense for a swim but can carry you through the rest of the day.
