Chimi Sunglasses: The Best Frames Right Now

Chimi Sunglasses: The Best Frames Right Now

Chimi is the Stockholm eyewear label two childhood friends started in 2016 over a broken pair of sunglasses. I like a frame that feels like an old friend, and these are the shapes I would start with.

Casa Clara Jewelry: How to Choose a Statement Piece

Casa Clara Jewelry: How to Choose a Statement Piece

Casa Clara is a jewelry and accessories label from Oceanside, California, made by two friends who love color and travel. I think jewelry should hold a small memory, so this edit is my pick of the pieces that do.

Carolina Bucci Jewelry: Florentine Gold Since 1885

Carolina Bucci Jewelry: Florentine Gold Since 1885

Carolina Bucci is the fourth generation of a Florentine family that has worked in gold since 1885, when her great-grandfather opened a workshop to repair pocket watches. This edit moves from the bracelets through necklaces to the smaller rings and earrings that finish the range.

BTB Los Angeles Bags: The Pieces Worth the Price

BTB Los Angeles Bags: The Pieces Worth the Price

BTB Los Angeles is a travel-minded bag label that began with straw totes and a shared love of accessories. I like how it makes a sundress or a very plain outfit look decided, and this edit is my packing list.

BRU Eyewear Sunglasses: A Guide to Great Frames

BRU Eyewear Sunglasses: A Guide to Great Frames

BRU Eyewear is a sunglasses label from Los Angeles, started in 2022 by husband and wife Paige Brubaker and David Adams. Its smaller frames borrow from vintage eyewear and Long Beach buildings, and I think they are lovely.

Blue and Gold

Blue knits, denim and dresses styled with warm gold jewelry. It is an easy everyday palette for anyone who wants a simple outfit to look finished.

Bloumme Sandals: Two Recycled Thong Sandals, Pilar and Arc 40

Bloumme Sandals: Two Recycled Thong Sandals, Pilar and Arc 40

Bloumme sandals come down to two recycled thong sandals, the flat Pilar and the Arc 40. I explain why a narrow summer edit built around one clear shape works.

Best Handbags 2025: A Buying Guide

Best Handbags 2025: A Buying Guide

Best handbags 2025 come down to a few checks you can do from the product page, and everything else is preference. I sort the picks by everyday carry and by what actually decides a good bag.

The Wrist, Kept Simple

Best Embellished Bags

Best Embellished Bags

Embellished bags are the answer when an outfit is technically correct and still missing a point of view. I like them because the decoration does the talking, but only when the underlying bag has a sensible shape. A crystal or beaded surface is fun; a bag that cannot hold a phone

The Wrist, Turned Up

Best Designer Shoulder Bags

Best Designer Shoulder Bags

The best designer shoulder bags in this edit start with Cult Gaia's Zoella, Lola and Cosette, then move on to leather and mini sizes. I wrote it around the bags I carry on repeat and why each shape earns its place.

Belt Edit: Chains, Suede, Leather and Embellished Styles

Belt Edit: Chains, Suede, Leather and Embellished Styles

The belt edit is about proportion, not permission to add hardware to every outfit. I look for the point a belt changes: the waist of a dress, the rise of a trouser, the open front of a jacket or the plainness of a knit. A chain is jewellery. Suede is texture. Leather is the relia

Bags Under 500 Dollars: Totes, Shoulder Bags and Clutches

Bags Under 500 Dollars: Totes, Shoulder Bags and Clutches

Bags under $500 are the category where restraint pays off. I want one that holds the objects I actually carry, sits comfortably on the body, and has a shape that will survive more than one kind of outfit. A small bag can be useful, but only if it is not pretending to be a tote. A

B-Low the Belt Belts and Bags: The Styles Worth Buying

B-Low the Belt Belts and Bags: The Styles Worth Buying

B-Low The Belt is the Los Angeles label that treats the buckle as the main event. I think a belt changes an outfit faster than a new dress, so this edit is mostly belts, with a few fringe bags for company.

Animal Print Goes Handheld

Animal Print Goes Handheld

Animal print has moved from statement to staple, and the bag is where it landed hardest. Leopard, python and croc embossing are now being treated as neutrals, worn with plain clothes rather than as the centre of an outfit. This edit is entirely bags, sorted so you can see how differently the same idea reads across silhouettes.

A Perfect Combo: Jeans and a White Tee

A Perfect Combo: Jeans and a White Tee

A women's edit of white tees and the blue jeans that go with them, from boxy and cropped to long sleeve, straight leg to wide leg. For anyone who wants a simple outfit that always works.

Bottega Veneta Medium Andiamo Outfit: How to Style the Bag

Bottega Veneta Medium Andiamo Outfit: How to Style the Bag

A Bottega Veneta medium Andiamo outfit starts with the bag's woven intrecciato leather, a weave the house has made in Vicenza since 1966. I go through the Andiamo in every size and as a clutch, then the house's other bags and the clothes to wear with them.

Sleepmaxxer Mask: Why a Silk Sleep Mask Makes Sense

Sleepmaxxer Mask: Why a Silk Sleep Mask Makes Sense

A sleepmaxxer mask that makes sense is the silk sleep mask, the one item that survived the sleepmaxxing trend. I go through Slip, who made silk a sleep category, then blackout, weighted and printed versions.

The Tory Burch Charlie Bag Is Quilted Quiet Confidence

The Tory Burch Charlie Bag Is Quilted Quiet Confidence

Tory Burch is best known for a medallion, so a bag that leans on stitching instead is a shift. The tory burch charlie bag is built on quilting and a chain-and-leather strap, with the branding pushed almost entirely into the hardware. It is the quietest line the house currently makes.

Ashna Mehta Jewelry: The Designer Behind Bag Bijoux

Ashna Mehta Jewelry: The Designer Behind Bag Bijoux

Ashna Mehta is a third-generation diamantaire from the Rosy Blue family, one of the largest diamond manufacturers in the world, and she founded her own jewellery brand in 2022.

Alaia Bag: Le Teckel, Le Coeur And Daily Shapes

Alaia Bag: Le Teckel, Le Coeur And Daily Shapes

Alaia's bag shapes keep reappearing in different materials, from mesh to raffia to smooth leather, which makes the house's point of view easy to spot across an outfit. The Le Teckel and Le Click shapes anchor the range, offering a base silhouette that gets reworked season after season. This edit looks at which of those shapes are actually easy to live with day to day, not just striking on a shelf.
