Everything Good: What I Wore, Bought, Tried, and Ate This Month

I probably have 10 leather jackets in my coat closet as we speak (let's just say I'm overdue for a spring-cleaning), but this newer add from Mango has quickly become the only one I'm living in right now. It's cut from lightweight leather and finished with utility pockets that, without any hardware, make it akin to a piece from Khaite.

Seventies-inspired runners are the most in-demand sneaker trend of spring, hands down. I just got this sleek suede pair in, and if I didn't know it, I'd never guess they were sub-$100.

A classic tennis bracelet is a piece I've long sought out to add to my forever wardrobe. This piece from Aurate is made from lab-grown white sapphires, so while it looks and feels like the heirloom-quality bracelets I've always coveted, it doesn't require the heirloom-level investment.

Speaking of jewelry staples, I've slowly been swapping my super-oversize earrings for daintier styles that I can wear stacked up my ear, and this bezel design is a recent favorite. People assume they're fine jewelry, and honestly, I let them.

I've cycled through a few different work totes before landing on this style from chic Scandi label Liffner. It's roomier than it looks and never gets too heavy no matter how much junk I stuff in it. Even though the bucket shape is pretty minimal, the suede finish and skinny belt detail are always earning me compliments wherever I go.

There's a reason every stylish person I know owns a Déhanche belt. The Louison style, a classic black leather style finished with contrast stitching, is the one I reach for the most. Simply put, it's the addition that makes everything I wear it with look so much better.

Not to brag, but the number one comment I get isn't on what I'm wearing; it's on my skin. I get a lot of people asking me what products I use to get such a glow, and while I can't credit a single product for my entire routine, I always point out that it's probably the Vintner's Daughter Active Botanical Serum working its magic. The face oil has been a cult beauty buy since its inception, and I can attest that the 22 nutrient-rich botanicals its packed with have done wonders for clearing my skin of breakouts and giving it that elusive lit-from-within look.

I'll admit that I bought this because of all the hype I heard about it on TikTok. (My algorithm knows me a little too well.) Let's just say that everything you've heard about this viral moisturizer is extremely true. I bought it on a trip to Tokyo last summer but didn't start reaching for it until my skin started drying out in the dead of winter. Thank goodness I had it on hand because the lightweight texture is incredibly hydrating and gives off a dewy, satin-like finish that stays that way for not just hours but I swear days, too.

I normally have fairly clear skin save for the occasional hormonal or stress-induced breakout, but since I started splashing this toner on my face as the first step in my skincare, it's remained breakout-free. Unlike harsher toners, this one is meant to repair your skin barrier. It's been a month so far, and I think it's safe to say it's been working because I can't remember the last time I had as long of a stretch without even a single blemish rearing its head.

From lifeless and blah to a smooth blowout in under 10 minutes—I'm obsessed with the heated round brush from celebrity hairstylist Jen Atkin's line Mane. It's become the only hair tool I use anymore because of how fast and easy to maneuver it is while minimizing damage. You do have to start from fully dried hair, which makes it a little bit different from some of the blow-dry brushes I've used in the past, but I've come to appreciate that because I can give myself a blowout from messy bedhead in the morning without having to re-wet it first.

I'd heard rumblings about this haircare brand among stylist and editor friends for a minute, but it wasn't until I made it part of my own routine that I fully understood what all the buzz was about. Let me just say the hype is very real. I've been using a trio of the Foundation Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner and the Willow Glen Pre-Wash Hair & Scalp Oil for almost two months now, and every day has felt like waking up with salon-quality hair. I actually didn't think that was possible! Ever since I started coloring my hair, it's been dry beyond the redemption of any styling products, and I've found that it's done almost a 180 with this new routine. My natural waves have never been bouncier and more bodied, and when I do give myself a blowout, it's impossibly smooth and stays like that for days.

I like to apply this before a workout so the heat and sweat activate the oil even more.

Another mainstay in my hair routine is this styling serum that takes my natural curls to a level of bounce and definition I never thought was possible. I scrunch it into my hair when it's 80% dry post-shower and use it on day-two and -three hair to revive it from frizz.

I've realized that if you have fair skin and live in a cold climate, you're either a self-tan type of person or you're not. I've always been on the "not" side for fear of getting it wrong and dealing with a bad fake tan. I'm so glad I didn't write off all self-tanners, because Saltyface is the only one I've found that's virtually foolproof. It's a spray that goes on clear and develops over the course of 12 to 18 hours, and I've found that a few spritzes is really all you need for a truly natural glow.

I keep a tin of these at my desk at all times. Made from a blend of functional mushrooms, one square of the chocolate is like popping a prescription ADHD pill—it really makes you feel focused and locked in. I've come to rely on it as a must-have for days when there's I have a heavy amount of writing on deck.

Lemme may be getting heat for its claims on some of its other supplements like its GLP-1 alt, but the Chill gummies definitely deliver on their promises. The blend of Ashwagandha and passionflower is a secret weapon for calming down and quieting my mind and anxiety. I've been focusing on lowering my stress and cortisol levels, and taking these during periods of high stress or when I feel my mind racing has been such a game changer.

The chicest way to start my day: a caffè lungo in the silver mug and saucer set from Lazy Jamie Home.

Do yourself a favor and get a fancy set of bath towels. Trust me, you won't regret it. I fell in love with the high-pile towels during a stay at The Ranch Hudson Valley last summer only to discover the label was Matouk. I have a green theme going in my bathroom (see the wallpaper below) and promptly placed an order for the green-trimmed scallop set.

As a renter, there are only so many ways I can update my New York studio apartment, and peel-and-stick wallpaper has become one of them. How charming is this toile design featuring iconic NYC landmarks like the Guggenheim and Brooklyn Bridge?

The Edition is easily my favorite hotel brand and one of the many reasons for that is the signature fragrance, an intoxicating blend of black tea, Sicilian bergamot, and cedarwood. Luckily for me, the scent is available a reed diffuser, and it's one buy that's transformed my apartment.

In keeping with the theme of green accents throughout my space is this area rug from Revival. I like how the rich color brings a sense of depth to my space and the checkerboard pattern isn't overpowering. When I was decorating my space, I realized there was a huge gap in the market for well-priced and actually cool rugs—they seem to either come as ultra-luxury options or cheap ones. Instead, the styles from Revival range from minimalist to mid-century modern, and they run around $500 for a 7x10 size.

By now, everyone and their mother has a bottle of Graza next to their stovetop, and I'm proudly one of them. The olive oil is high-quality and the squeeze-bottle packaging is genius and user-friendly.

Does your water bottle make you happy? Because mine does. Bink has the best color options like this sunny-yellow hue I opted for. Plus, the lid is interchangeable with a straw making it easy to use at home and take on the go. Suffice it to say, I've retired every other water bottle.
