Occasion Dresses
My current occasion dresses picks — polished, but make it effortless.
A floaty pink maxi for the last warm weddings on the calendar. It moves beautifully and photographs even better — add strappy heels and go.
Frankie Maxi Dress in Pink
The shibori print and silky drape make this look like far more than the price tag. The dress you'll pull out for every fall occasion that says dress up.
Liana Dress in Shibori
A grey mini with just enough structure to feel grown-up. Bare legs and heels now, tights and boots when it cools — it works both ways.
Noeme Mini Dress in Grey
Soft pistachio and an easy cut that flatters without trying. Save it for a rehearsal dinner or a big birthday and let it do the heavy lifting.
Anika Mini Dress in Pistachio
Cashmere & Cozy Knits
My current cashmere & cozy knits picks — polished, but make it effortless.
Real 100% cashmere for well under what that usually costs — this is the layer you'll live in from September on. Throw it over jeans, a slip dress, your Sunday sweats.
By Anthropologie Juliet 100% Cashmere Cardigan
A proper cashmere mock-neck that reads quiet and expensive but won't itch. Tuck it into wide-leg trousers now, layer it under a coat when it drops cold.
Pilcro Alani 100% Cashmere Mock-Neck Sweater
The everyday cashmere crew you'll reach for on repeat. Goes with your barrel jeans, your trousers, your whole fall rotation, and it's the softest $138 you'll spend.
By Anthropologie Goldie 100% Cashmere Sweater
A top that punches above its price.
Nicoly Top in Mocha
The top you'll reach for without thinking.
Noire Top in White
A top you'll be glad you saved.
Darina Top in Sky Blue
The linen top that does half the styling for you.
Anaia Linen Top in Black
The top you'll reach for without thinking.
Geneia Cami Top in Pale Yellow
Denim & Trousers
My current denim & trousers picks — polished, but make it effortless.
Barrel-leg denim is the shape of the season, and this high-rise carpenter pair nails it. Utility pockets, a curved leg, and a rise that actually stays put.
Pilcro Kayden High-Rise Carpenter Barrel Jeans
Long, lean, wide-leg denim that pools just right over a boot. High rise, clean wash — the pair you'll want on repeat once it cools down.
