    BELGIAN BLISS

    When it comes to trends, there are one season wonders and investment pieces. As I’ve gotten older, I tend to spend more and buy less. It’s both a sustainable practice and suitable for my lifestyle. I tend to nod toward a trend, not embrace it full stop.

    When I look in my closet, there are pieces that have stood the test of time; Chloe blazers, Prada anything, Manolo Blahniks and Belgian loafers. The latter are making a strong comeback and hopefully, gaining new fans that will treasure them like all of us did in the 80’s and 90’s.

    For those not familiar, you wear them 20 ish times (never in the rain) and then request a cobbler line the soles with rubber. They mold to your feet and are as comfy as slippers.

    CAST AWAY

    For those of you who don’t know, I love to cook. It’s my form of meditation and truly takes my mind off all, I find it incredibly grounding. Cooking for family and friends is a passion.

    My absolute favorite pans to cook with are cast iron, and not just any but from The Field Company. They’re lighter than most, which is key, and their sleek designs marry form and function perfectly. Like with any cast iron, the more you use it the better they get, but due to the smooth finish the seasoning that builds up is shiny and makes me smile.

  3. LUCIEN FREUD

    We were recently in Madrid for a dear friend's birthday celebration and made it our priority to see the Lucien Freud exhibit at the Theyssen. It was extraordinary. If you happen to be taking a jaunt to this fabulous city, definitely get tickets.

    BREAKING BREAD

    We had a dinner party the other night and I wanted to do something a little different. My dear friend asked for an assignment, so I gave her one. Instead of just bringing baguettes or a loaf of sourdough, I asked her to create a breadbasket so guests could choose their grain. It just seemed a step up. Of course, she did a beautiful job, and this will be on my buffet for years to come.

  5. LATEST OBSESSION

    If you're looking for a pair of sneakers that are both super stylish, versatile and won't break the bank, the New Balance 327's are for you. Available in a variety of color palettes, they hit the mark with both jeans and dresses. The only catch is how fast each drop sells out. Happy hunting.

    CHLOE JACKPOT

    Thanks to Gabriela Hearst I found my all-time favorite tote and trust me, there's a lot of competition. The Chloe Mony Tote ticks off all the boxes: perfect colors, two handles for easy access, holds my laptop & iPad when I travel and has an inside pocket for keys and my ever-present lip gloss. The whipstitching detail is the perfection… a little cowboy, a little rock-n-roll. Flawless.
