I hope you had a great week! Mine was busy (in a fun way). Here’s what I was up to:On Tuesday I published a little shopping list on Your Mom of stuff for you, and cute stuff (including some of my favorite kids brands on sale) for your kids. Thursday was long post day, about nostalgia and longing and embracing the trends of your youth in middle age. I’m not sure what I was trying to say was expressed as clearly as I intended - or that it made sense, but it was fun to style and fun to write.

Molly!!!!! The dream - she started her career in the buying office at Barney’s in the 90s, then went to Céline under Phoebe Philo, and now runs ByGeorge, a true fashion institution in Austin, and where I got a taste for the retail world. Molly and I talked about finding your style influences in the pre-internet era, discovering new brands, identifying the things that make you the most you, AND! I forced her to talk about this, but transitioning your hair to natural silver. Hers is GORGEOUS.

I wrote a few weeks ago about struggling to get dressed in the summer, and what I talked about there was a piece of it - I like clothes with structure, I don’t identify as boho, I like navy and menswear, and those things are WARM. But the more I think about it, it’s a little more than that.

Summer, baby! Here we go!Since I added opening a store to my plate, I’ve had…no time for things like nails. My nails and toe nails are are bare, but I still like to have my feet scrubbed and scraped sometimes! It’s been a very long time, and I started using this retinol hand cream on my feet to get rid of the scratchies on my heels and calluses in desperation (normal hand cream doesn’t do it) and it’s actually working. I liked the original Theraplush cream, but the scent wasn’t my favorite.

Earlier today, my good friend and I were texting about what’s going on in LA and how scary things are right now, and we agreed that of all the nightmares we’ve experienced in the last few years, this feels different and worse because it’s so cruel. My wonderful, silly, fabulous dad is from Venezuela, and I took it for granted how I never worried about his safety growing up.

Victoria Lampley Berens is….no pun intended…a gem. A true jewelry lover, she has mastered the art of The Stack - to the point where she founded a jewelry consultancy (The Stax) around her love of jewels. She has a flawless and singular sense of style but most of all is the kindest, warmest, best best best friend you could ever wish for.

If I had to pack for a week in ten minutes, the first thing I would grab is a button down. I’m not sure I could make my style my style without them - it is the most versatile, comfortable, and useful item in my wardrobe. HOWEVER! I realize styling them isn’t as intuitive for everyone as it feels for me - I feel most like myself in one, and I really feel like I can just sort of wHiP SomEtHinG UP when I wear one, you know?

I’m writing this while I watch Love Island, and the biggest thing I get hung up on while watching this show is…WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GIRLS’ SWIMSUITS?! When did it become standard to wear a thong? What! This makes me very happy to not be in my 20s now - it wasn’t a thing then!Anyway, before my Fancy Mom left for Japan, we had a long conversation about swimwear. Swimsuits, man. We all need them, but nobody really wants to shop for one.

Hi friends! Here we are, at the end of a busy week. My kids were home sick for most of it, and I was traveling Monday & Tues, so it was a weird week, but a good one. I’m having a lot of fun! If you came out on Thursday night to my Madewell party - THANK YOU!!! I love you! I had a blast - I just honestly truly love doing stuff like that and hosting things and helping people shop and doing little one on one styling moments. What a dream and a joy and a gift - I really am just endlessly grateful.
