Dear Friends,Carolyn Bessette Kennedy didn’t just dress well – she created a visual legacy. Her wardrobe was precise, polished, and deeply personal: slip dresses, crisp white shirts, tailored trousers, and long coats. She wore Manolo Blahnik heels without flash, carried bags without logos, and elevated everyday staples from Calvin Klein, Prada, Miu Miu, and Yohji Yamamoto into her own kind of uniform. Today, as fashion revisits the 1990s with peak obsession, CBK’s influence is at an all-time high.

Dear friends,Some things we can’t deny this May: The laced camisole is chic again. Capri pants feel cool in that crisp, 90’s kind of way. Linen continues to be my go-to for looking polished without trying too hard – and yes, I’ve got five effortless ways to wear it. In between, I’ve fallen for sculptural earrings spotted on Instagram, and rediscovered the quiet glamour of a silk headscarf (à la Carolyn Bessette).

Dear friends,Linen has been a staple in my summer wardrobe for at least the past ten years – and for good reason. It’s the one fabric I reach for again and again when the temperatures rise: light, breathable, and always just the right amount of polished. I’ve worn it everywhere – to the office, the playground, the beach, dressed it up for dinners out, and thrown it on for city strolls. It’s the kind of effortless that never goes out of style.
