Pattern mixing used to feel like a fashion risk reserved for the boldest runways. But I’ve learned that with a little patience and a few ground rules, you can combine stripes, florals, and plaids in ways that look effortlessly put-together, not chaotic. Here’s how I approach it, straight from my closet to yours. Start with […]

I’ve spent a fair amount of time staring at my closet before a black-tie gala or a wedding reception, wondering if my sequined top was too much. After years of trial and error, I’ve figured out that the secret to a great formal look isn’t one perfect dress. It’s a small collection of essentials that […]

After years of closet chaos, I finally figured out that less really is more. Not the boring kind of less, but the kind that saves you from staring at a rack full of clothes with nothing to wear. These are the pieces I keep coming back to, season after season, because they just work. First […]
