Emilio Pucci One Piece Swimsuit: Fiamme and Marmo Prints

An Emilio Pucci one piece swimsuit is a print first, in Fiamme, Marmo, Labirinto, Iride and Orchidee. I go through the prints so you can pick yours, bikini sets included.

Barely There Perfume: Light Skin Scents That Smell Fresh

Barely There perfume is a fresh skin scent that smells like you just stepped out of a fancy shower. I picked light, breezy fragrances over heavy florals, like Light Blue and Cheirosa 62.

lemlem Lunch Dresses: Striped Cotton, Gauze and Linen

lemlem lunch dresses are striped cotton, gauze and linen pieces, from the Gasira maxi to the Zina mini. I also cover the separates and how Liya Kebede built the label around Ethiopian handweaving.

Abroad Attire

Wide leg trousers, pleated midi skirts, soft blouses and a sleek ankle boot for dressing like you are wandering through a European city. Made for anyone who wants classic pieces they will really wear.

Elegantly Unbound

An edit of carefree halters, lace tops, long necklaces and strappy sandals for a wandering, unfussy spirit. Made for anyone who dresses loose and travels light.

Convertible Closet

Silk scarves, scarf tops, tunics and satin skirts that can be worn more than one way. For anyone who likes to get a lot of outfits out of a few pieces.

Old Navy x Altuzarra: The Wuthering Heights Wardrobe, Bookmark Tags and All

Old Navy x Altuzarra is a 44-piece fall capsule of coats, Fair Isle knits, tea dresses and trousers, with matching girls' pieces. I picked the 40 pieces I would build an October wardrobe around.

Packing for Somewhere Warm: A Designer Vacation Wardrobe

A good vacation wardrobe is light, easy to mix and a little bit special. Linen, cotton, silk and open weaves lead the packing list, with shoes and bags chosen to go anywhere. This edit is the full set of clothes that make a trip feel considered.

Why You Pack Two Swimsuits

A swimsuit worn in the morning can still be damp by afternoon. I pack a second suit, separate bikini pieces for flexible combinations, and a tote that can carry a wet one home.

Dinner Jewelry Is Not Day Jewelry

Candlelight shows outline and reflection, not detail, so small fine pieces disappear. Eight earrings, eight necklaces and eight cuffs chosen for low light.

Pack Light, Not Less

Packing light works as substitution rather than subtraction. Eight light knits, eight plain tops and eight pairs of cotton shorts from $95.

A Dress And A Belt Is A Second Outfit

The same dress belted reads as a different outfit, and a belt weighs nothing. Eight midi dresses, eight short dresses and eight belts from $200.

The Sun Hat Is The Only Sunscreen That Does Not Wear Off

Sunscreen needs reapplying every two hours and a brim does not. Eight sun hats, eight pairs of sunglasses and eight cover-ups from $105.

Dinner On Holiday Has Its Own Wardrobe

Dinner on holiday is warmer than home and less formal than a city restaurant. Eight dresses, four heels, four clutches and the plated jewelry that survives salt water.

A Pucci Outfit Is A Commitment To Pattern

Building a pucci outfit means deciding how much print you can carry, which is a real question with this house. Silk tops, skirts, trousers, kaftans, a scarf and the Emilio bag. It is a wardrobe where every piece wants to be the loudest thing in the room.

The Caribbean Winter-Escape Wardrobe

Out of Office

The Slip Dress Never Actually Left, It Just Changed Fabric

A slip dress started as literal underwear before nineties minimalists pulled it into eveningwear, and the bias-cut silhouette has been quietly present ever since. What changes between eras is the fabric, from cool satin to cotton and linen versions built for daytime. This roundup covers eight takes on the slip dress, from FARM Rio's printed cotton to Theory's structured satin.

The Long Lunch Outfit

It starts at one in full sun and ends at five. Eight midi dresses, eight flat shoes that pack flat, and the small bags that stay off a dusty floor.

The Case For One Very Large Bag

One large tote replaces the work bag, the beach bag and the day bag. Eight leather totes, eight woven ones and the small bag that lives inside them.

Destination Wedding Guest, Solved

Heat, a suitcase, uneven ground and strong light. Eight long dresses, eight sandals with a base wide enough for grass, and eight clutches.

Golden Hour Has A Dress Code

Late sun is weighted to the red end, which is why gold reads and silver goes grey. Eight long dresses, eight plated gold pieces from $85, and heels with a base wide enough for a garden.

Larroude Sandals Are The Raffia Answer To Summer

Larroude sandals come from a house that started in 2019 with an unusual premise, which was building shoes on demand rather than forecasting a season. The raffia work is where that shows most clearly. These are the current platform and sport styles.

Vacation Sandals, Mules and Bags

Flat sandals, mules, woven bags and one good pair of heels, the short list I actually pack for a week somewhere warm. Every pair here is chosen to handle old stone streets and still look right at dinner.

Poolside Dresses, Skirts, and Tops

What to pack for Poolside Chic: fewer pieces, chosen so they work together rather than separately. Fabrics that recover from creasing matter more than weight when the case is small.
