Lately, I’ve been craving a little more main character energy. The kind that comes from slipping into a tailored dress for no reason or spritzing perfume before a solo coffee run. I’ve been thinking a lot about Carolyn Bessette Kennedy’s quiet glamour, Jane Birkin’s insouciant charm, Jackie O's signature accessories, and the iconic socialites of past decades whose lives felt like editorials long before that was a thing. This spring, I’m embracing that spirit with a few luxury pieces that make everyday moments feel cinematic.
These aren’t flashy purchases—they’re refined, indulgent, and incredibly wearable. The kind of things that whisper “old-money elegance” but still feel modern and personal. Whether it’s a perfectly slouchy bag or a pair of oversized sunnies that instantly changes your posture, the pieces ahead are my love letter to stylish women who lived with a touch of mystique—and the wardrobe staples that help channel their energy in 2025.
I have a feeling this would be in this type of woman’s repertoire.
What a top.
