Oversized buttoned shirt
“When it comes to my style, it’s important for me to be comfortable. I gravitate toward more timeless and classic silhouettes over on-trend pieces. I’ve been wearing a lot of oversized button-up shirts lately. The Frankie Shop and the Toteme are a must.”
Favorite Jeans
“I pair my shirts with pants or jeans. As a busy mother of three, I live in jeans and t-shirts. My favorite jeans are Levi’s; I love the 501 style. For pants I love Dissh (it’s classic and affordable) as well as Joseph, Wardrobe NYC and Marni. I tend to buy high quality basics that I can wear again season after season.
everyday bag
“My current go-to bag is this crossbody style from Cuyana. It’s simple and classic, and I love that it’s made from 100% Global Recycle Standard certified landfill plastic.”
Signature fragrance
“I love Sana Jardin Paris Vanilla Nomad. It’s a beautiful scent that feels feminine and grounded. It’s earthy yet sweet and sweet at the same time.
