the guardian - Greta Thunberg’s mom on what it was like to watch her daughter withering away in silence before coming one of the biggest (and youngest) climate activists the world has ever seen. When I think of climate change, I see Greta’s face. Her voice, and her work so far, have been powerful for all generations but especially for mine and the ones before me. We can no longer stand by while our planet suffers beyond repair.
the everygirl - Ten grocery store hacks I use every week. OK, 8, 9, and 10 are some of mine too! I especially love the one about buying something you’ve never tried cooking with before. I wouldn’t go in blind on this one though. Instead, first find a new recipe you want to try with some different ingredients. You don’t need any unopened bottles of ____ sitting in your pantry for the next two years!
Johns Hopkins - A live map tracking cases of the coronavirus. I mentioned this on Instagram yesterday and want to say it here too. I don’t want to be an alarmist but I also want to address this virus and not ignore it. We’re all seeing so much information about it on a daily basis and I think it’s good to have access to sites like this one to be able to check-in on what’s happening.
Vogue - Major inspo at this stunning Newport mansion wedding. Last summer we visited Rosecliff Mansion with the Tyler Boe team and I was in awe (click here for a pic I snapped in the ballroom). American elegance at its finest.
The Zoe Report - Amazon reviewers call these 42 fashion pieces their favorites in their wardrobe. I never bought into super trends like the Amazon jacket or dress but I have purchased one thing on this list! This bra.

Ever since I committed to wearing more sustainable fashion this year I keep coming back to everlane. The brand is committed to sustainability and transparency AND they offer classic yet on-trend styles that are affordable. I’m a big fan.

drink this - Soup! I was never a big fan of soup until recently. I’m not sure what happened but not I really enjoy making it, and eating eat. I like Half Baked Harvest’s soup recipes because most of them are really hearty and feel like a full meal. Here is a great one from last March for Persian lamb and chickpea stew with rice. Also this 30-minute miso ramen looks delicious!
wear - I can’t remember if I mentioned these leggings already so at the risk of sounding redundant, here they are. INCREDIBLE. Full disclosure: I almost never wore leggings before I recently received these. I blame the eight years I spent in Catholic school when I was a teenager. After wearing them every.single.day. I basically wanted to burn every pair come graduation day. Now, 15 years later I’m ready to introduce them into my wardrobe again. But only THIS pair:)
beauty - Town & Country just announced their 2020 luxury beauty awards which includes over 30 beauty products from serums to hair dryers. Are any of your products on this list? I was surprised to not see more natural and organic companies featured. Maybe they should do a separate round-up for those? One product I’ve been wanting to try is this concentrated brightening essence. I love Tata Harper and when I’ve always found her line to be effective (and it smells amazing!).
mascara - I’ve tried four natural mascara’s in the last two months and kept striking out. Some were drying, some were clumpy, and most of them just didn’t look good. Last weekend I was meeting my best friend in NYC and realized I had forgotten to put on mascara. I called her and asked her if she could pick some up for me while I drove in. When I arrived at lunch she surprised me with this one. She told me it was the best one she’s ever used, and she was right. It’s a far cry from CVS for $15.99 but using a natural one is important to me and it works, well. Clean, non-toxic, hydrating, and dark sexy lashes, you’re welcome!
watch - Very Ralph. I finally watched the HBO documentary made about Ralph Lauren. Everyone kept telling me to watch it but I kept putting it off. There is a little part of me that will always be sad that my time there is over. I loved working for Ralph Lauren so much. I guess you can say I really drank the kool aid and watching it brought back so many memories. Ralph’s story was such an inspiration to me. It all started with a tie, but even before that it started with a boy and his dreams. For Ralph Lauren, fashion wasn’t just about designing a collection, it was about telling a story, and he wanted to help people live their best lives through his clothing.
