Between the year-over-year déjà vu and the impossibility of sleeping in, Mother’s Day will never fully live up to its expectations. The brunch will be nice but chaotic–and the kids won’t color, but scribble, their cards. Between the logistics and the lead-up, it will all be over in a flash. So, while Mother’s Day is always nice, the gifts make it memorable. This year, I’m thinking about the classic gifts that will last through and beyond next year’s special day. Lucky Spring Pendant, Plum Blossom My jewelry box won’t feel complete until I’ve unboxed my first Van Cleef & Arpels piece. Th ..read more

Whether you’re packing up for a residency on the Amalfi Coast or a weekend on the Jersey Shore, we’re declaring it a Pucci Girl Summer. The essence of Pucci Girl Summer is less about inundating your Amex statement with purchases from the brand’s newest collection—though shop away, if you’re able—and more about channeling the brand’s poolside maximalism, retro silhouettes, and prints, prints, prints. From silk scarves that will take up little precious real estate in your carry-on bag to vibrant maxi dresses in signature paisley prints, these pieces will pair perfectly with your spritz of choi ..read more

In a sea of peacocks at fashion industry events, journalist and Document Journal critic-at-large Katharine Zarella channels the raven. The digital documentarian has lived in New York most of her adult life and adheres to the local trope of dressing almost exclusively in black (with occasional guest appearances by a Comme des Garçons scarlet or a Schiaparelli pink). “When I was four or five years old, my mom told me that all-black was very chic, and that has lived with me my entire life,” she says. For Zarella, adopting a pseudo uniform of head-to-toe black was more emotional than it was logi ..read more

Mother Nature has tricked us one too many times, teasing us with beautiful 70-degree days just to fall back down to cloudy 50s by the weekend. But we’re happy to announce that the sun seems to be here to stay (fingers crossed). The seasonal sartorial swap is, unfortunately, no friend to our work attire. Heavy knits and Uniqlo Heattech are going into hibernation as spring makes a case for flirty prints and shorter hemlines. Unsure how to navigate this shuffle? A reliable dress is the easiest route. Based on your 9-to-5, we’ve pulled the best dresses for your consideration. The Corporate-Core ..read more

“I text some of my dealers like, ‘Hey, what do you got right now?’” laughs Sarah Burns. Always, she’s on the hunt for jewelry. “They'll send me a photo and I'll circle 15 things and buy in bulk. There are dealers that sell by the gram. There are dealers that sell by the markings or the weirdness or rarity. We buy at a variety of levels.” Burns describes her sourcing process for her Lower East Side flagship store Old Jewelry as a matter of obsession; there’s an urgency there, a need to devour the latest magical piece. She has one source in Philly who runs his business old school—he’s often re ..read more

While the windchill is still no joke some days this month, it’s almost sunny enough to wear a wide-brim hat and complement a bare neck with a locket by designer Marie Lichtenberg. When temperatures cause winter and summer aesthetics to collide, accessories can bridge the gap and be more eye-catching—and functional—than ever. If we can’t be naked, let’s at least cover ourselves in raffia. If you’re still relegated to knitwear, these details tie everything together seasonally. Horsebit Ballet Flats Fleming Metallic Bag Evil Eye Locket Borsh Pavé Earrings Visconti Raffia Buckle Loafers Low Key ..read more

In 2019, I had the pleasure of discovering Comme Si, a sock brand that highlighted how underutilized the real estate around my ankles had become. Socks were functional, not luxurious, and definitely not intended to be shown off. Comme Si changed that for me. Hosiery—socks, tights, and stockings— a powerful tool in the style wardrobe. “I launched Comme Si because I wanted people to approach socks as a luxury accessory and a more considered part of your wardrobe,” says founder Jenni Lee. “It’s a small item, but it can really be the glue to pull an outfit together.” View this post on Instagr ..read more

Hair stylist Shingo Shibata has a very distinct beauty “uniform”: a shaved head and no eyebrows. In his closet, there’s no semblance of that regimented routine. How does he organize this amalgamation of tangerine puffer jackets, Yohji Yamamoto outerwear, and platform boots? “I don’t,” he says. Within his Tokyo apartment, a confluence of color beckons from a silver hanging rack. Perfectly warped denim contrasts the traditionally blanched walls and wood beams. Footwear ranging from Balenciaga kitten heels to distressed cowboy boots click with potential energy. Heavily gelled comb overs, space ..read more

A few unexpected modern bridal details offer a nuptials-worthy reprieve from her classic capsule wardrobe. On her wedding day, she wants to stand out.

From veils to statement slips and more, this is the list for the modern bride. Dresses Lina Linen Midi Dress Carmen Silk Slip Dress O ..read more
