The ultimate chic ski suit - Goldbergh ski suits are sooo great. This is my third and I love every single one. Last forever and quality is worth every penny. They sell out in sizes quickly so grab them! I’m in 36. Also my other favorite accessories and ski pants and googles below!

The easiest formula for a chic, modern work outfit: tailored black blazer, soft knit, cream trousers, and neutral accessories. Clean, classic, and endlessly versatile for the office or city days.

The cutest sunglasses

On this Valentine’s Day, I wanted to share a few things I’ve learned from being with my husband for 20+ years — the traits that, in my experience, really matter for a lasting relationship.

I know everyone’s journey looks different. Some are single by choice, some are healing, some are in beautiful marriages already. This isn’t about doing love one “right” way.

But in a time when many women are choosing to stay single (for very valid reasons), I still believe good men and strong partnerships do exist. And when it’s healthy and aligned, love can be one of the most beautiful parts of life.

Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️

How to look put together without buying new clothes. Trying to repurpose more clothes in my closet and here are some tips!

1️⃣ When in doubt, start with black trousers as your base or great denims. Mine are from @lagencefashion — I’ve had them forever because the fit is just that good.

2️⃣ Trousers pair beautifully with any fitted top. A turtleneck or a classic tee always works. I’m sure you all have one in your closet! This is an old @nililotan cashmere turtleneck I still reach for but also love basic tee from @soldout.nyc

3️⃣ Don’t sleep on hand-me-down accessories. This fur is from my mom, originally from @stjohn, over 15 years old — and I still love it. Finish with a great belt and sunnies. I love @celine and where these a lot. My sunnies are @ysl

4️⃣ Blazers and coats are where I invest more $$. They’re timeless and instantly elevates an outfit so I always buy high quality. I also love vintage designer outerwear. This one is vintage @ysl from @vestiaireco but love @therealreal and @depop these days — I’ve had it for 5 years and still love.

Lately, I’ve realized it’s better to have a clear, timeless style that if your own and buy smart and quality rather than aimlessly buy more. I purged a lot to get here — curious how you’re reworking your wardrobe and closet this year?

Save this if you are struggling to grab the right clothes from your closet as a guide or share with a friend who might have it useful!

As we get older, skin prep matters just as much as makeup.

I focus on hydration first, then keep everything light, fresh, and natural—enhancing what’s already there instead of covering it up.
