9 things I want to buy this week (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s been 3 weeks (!) since my last Things I Want To Buy This Week post. Sorry about this! My friend texted me yesterday saying she wants to know what’s in my basket and in my mind, so here we are again! The fact that my IRL friends enjoy this column makes me think that you enjoy it too, and, well, consider me your friend who tells you what’s worth it and talks you out of what’s not worth it. I always keep in mind to simplify what it takes to get ready and be fully (and magnetically) present in
How to wear red this season! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Four months ago, deep into Spring, I published a letter about red sandals:“In one sentence: wear whatever you like, add a red sandal, and watch the whole outfit wake up. Instant energy. Playful. That pop of colour draws the eye, balances the look, lifts the mood.

I always make it a priority to use my nice things every day because every day is all we’ve got. Always give yourself the best, you know? I’ll make it into a series so that we can keep each other accountable, okay?✦01St Agni | Technical Cotton Cocoon Coat<a class="i
The anatomy of a great knit (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What I want you to avoid is settling for “just fine”, i.e. the jumper from the high street designed to fit the average person who just wants to stay warm. It lands flat. It says nothing about you.The best is usually the opposite of what’s average. The best is highly personal. And when it comes to knitwear, the best is intentional. A great knit will last you years, not weeks.Here’s what I’ve learned from hours browsing online and visiting physical shops weekly: most pieces out there are aggressiv
