The Unexpected Print Mix That Works

OUTFIT DETAILS: Valentino Jacket, Chloe Top, Nili Lotan Pants, Chanel Flats (similar here), Hermes Bag (similar here), Sherman Field Necklaces

The best print mixing isn’t always instinctual. It comes down to a few styling tricks I’ve honed over the years, and none of them are about piling on as many patterns as possible. It is about using print in separate pieces that sharpen one another. A dot can make paisley feel less boho, embroidered florals can bring dimension to prints in the same tone, and an unexpected accessory that just peeks out can push the whole look somewhere more interesting.

If you are hesitant to mix prints, start by looking for one element that ties your pieces together. It might be a shared color palette, a similar scale, or simply a mood that runs through each piece. Once that connection is there, the outfit can handle far more than you might expect.

This look came together almost by accident. Paris turned cooler than I planned, so I reached for pieces I hadn’t planned to wear together, and found I loved the way it all played off itself. The finished look has depth and individuality, especially when pieces come together in a way that feels slightly unexpected.

Summer Dinner Dresses For Mothers & Daughters

OUTFIT DETAILS: Givenchy Dress, Miu Miu Flats, Valentino Bag, Sherman Field Chain & Arielle Ratner Pendant

Few things get my girls more excited than hearing we have dinner plans to look forward to, especially when it means getting a little dressed up. Summer evenings have a way of making even a simple reservation feel special, with warm air, pretty dresses, and a slower pace that makes this season particularly sweet. I rounded up pieces for both mothers and daughters that capture that feeling, with bright colors, cheerful prints, and silhouettes made for twirling through the evening.

Summer dinner plans never have to be overly formal to still feel like an occasion. A bold color can do all the work, a great print can set the mood, and even the simplest dress feels transformed by a favorite restaurant, a table outside, and the joy of being together with family.

Golden Hour Hues Meet Special Finishes

OUTFIT DETAILS: Khaite Shirt, Alemais Top, Markarian Skirt (similar here), Chanel Heels, Valentino Bag, Sherman Field & Arielle Ratner Necklaces

There are certain color palettes I find myself almost subconsciously drawn to when summer is in full swing. Citrus, green, coral, gold, and lime all have a sun-worn feeling, but what really brings them to life is texture, shine, and movement.

The colors already have warmth, but the organza, sequins, beads, and glossy finishes give them movement once the light changes. A coral skirt suddenly feels more evening, a yellow top has a little more glow, and even the smallest accessory can make the whole look feel like it belongs somewhere fun.

Together, it feels like a richer way to wear color. Not just bright for the sake of it, but color with texture, depth, and the kind of finish that shifts once the light does.

The Summer Carryall Look

OUTFIT DETAILS: Prada Dress (similar here, here and here), Miu Miu Flats, Celine Bag (old, similar here and here)

Packing for a summer trip through Europe is really about putting together looks that can carry you through the whole day: morning coffee followed by museum hopping, a few hours of shopping, lunch outside, and juggling shopping bags in both hands.

To me, when I think of a summer carryall, I don’t just think about a singular bag, but rather the pieces of my look that make getting through a full day easy and enjoyable. A checkered dress in a lightweight fabric. Bermuda shorts made for long days on my feet. Light layers and hats for sunnier days. Cute hair accessories to keep my hair off my face. Walkable shoes that still feel special. I need everything to be able to carry me through the whole day, mix well together, and stay looking fresh from morning through late afternoon.
