Tropical Pieces

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.

Mother’s Day Gifts
Mother’s Day arrives with the sweetest kind of intention, centered around appreciation for the women who shape our lives. Whether it’s a piece she’ll wear on repeat, something to elevate her space, or a small indulgence she wouldn’t think to buy for herself, the gesture is what makes it meaningful.
Jewelry under $700 leads the way, with colorful stones and soft statement pieces that feel personal and easy to wear. Bags under $500 bring a seasonal refresh, from woven styles to structured shapes made for warmer days. For the home, there’s a mix of decorative objects, florals, and textiles that add just enough detail to elevate the everyday. Thoughtful extras like stationery, notebooks, and embroidered linens offer a more personal touch, while small luxuries — a beauty tool, a signature nail color, or something sweet — finish the assortment with pieces she’ll reach for often.

Every Outfit I Wore in April
Emporio Sirenuse Dress, JB x Margaux Sandals, Irene Neuwirth Earrings
April leaned fully into the season almost from the first day. A few getaways set the tone early on, with raffia bags, bucket hats, fluid dresses, and easy sandals, and those resort pieces kept finding their way into my everyday looks back home. Denim showed up in unexpected ways, paired with simple tees and flats, while one very special evenings asked for something else entirely, in a buttery yellow and embroidered gown with a sculptural earrings and crystal pavé bag. Color and print stayed at the center throughout, only lighter underneath and more open to the air. By the final week my Daily Looks felt closer to early summer than spring, and what was left in rotation felt exactly right for where we’re heading next.

Turquoise Meets Tangerine (and why it works)
LilyEve Jacket, Rosie Assoulin Top (sold out, similar here), Julia Amory Skirt, JB x Margaux Sandals, Irene Neuwirth Earrings & Necklace, Cordera Bag (sold out, similar here)
Not the most obvious pairing, but one I keep coming back to this time of year, especially when dressing for warm weather is turquoise and tangerine. Once it’s on, it makes complete sense.
It usually starts with one piece. An orange dress or set, then adding turquoise through jewelry, or the reverse if I’m wearing something softer and want a stronger pop of color. It’s never the same formula twice, but the full look always ends up feeling balanced.
I’ve always loved turquoise jewelry. Against orange, it just clicks. The warmth of one and the coolness of the other offset each other in a way that feels natural but still interesting.
The impact comes through in the small details: a saturated tangerine dress with a single turquoise necklace, a printed piece where both colors are already worked in, or a bold earring against a simple look. It’s an unexpected combination that always stands out.
