Highlights from my annual “More of This, Less of That” post for 2026 published this week on Substack. Looking back at 2025 shows me what I want more of and what I’m leaving behind: the trips that worked, style that feels authentic, consistency in creative rhythm. These insights are shaping my decision on where I want to travel next, helping me refine the style that feels most like me, and providing inspiration on how I want A Note on Style to look going forward. TRAVEL: Every destination has been an experience where I learn a little more about myself: what I liked and what I’ll want to avoid. Road trips: I’m always amazed how little effort it takes to be transported somewhere completely different from home. Travel somewhere new: I love the excitement of the unknown and how a destination reveals itself over a prolonged visit. Seek out the smaller hotels: In September, I went with my instinct and chose to stay at Ottmangut, a very small boutique hotel in Italy rather than others more well known. It turned out to be one of my most memorable stays. WEARING: The fashion conversation will continue to center on building a wardrobe that acts as an anchor of desirable staples to be styled according to mood or activity. Double Up: If I love a piece and wear it often, I’ll buy it in other colors. It eliminates styling questions and keeps me in my comfort zone. An Unexpected Piece: It’s very easy to get stuck in a classic style rut. I’m always looking for singular pieces that add a punctuation mark to a look. Skincare: I found a simple routine (I talked about in “Catching Up”) that works for me. I’ll continue with the regimen into 2026. There’s more in the full story on Substack. ❤️
