The Glam Letter

There is no better way to kick off the holiday season than with jewelry. Last night I spent the evening at Kendra Scott for a holiday styling event Live The Glamour hosted, helping customers find the pieces that will carry them through every party, dinner, and gift exchange on the calendar. And yes, everything was 15% off for the night. Layered gold necklaces on display If there is one thing the night confirmed, it is that layering is still the move. We played with delicate g

I have a rule about airplanes. I board barefaced, and I land looking like myself. Somewhere over the Atlantic, in about five minutes, with everything I need fitting in a little bag, I do my quick 5-minute makeup routine. We all know airplane air is brutally dry, airplane lighting is awful, and, in reality, nobody wants to do a twelve-step routine at 30,000 feet. Step 1: The Pads Lenox and Sixteenth Prep Pads. I wrote about these before because a week of testing genuinely chan

Luxury fashion has long had an industry secret: unsold clothing, shoes, and accessories could be destroyed simply to protect a brand’s exclusivity. That is changing. Under the European Union’s new Ecodesign rules, major fashion brands are now prohibited from destroying unsold apparel and accessories through burning, shredding, or cutting. Brands must also disclose more information about their unsold inventory and where it ultimately goes. Limited exceptions include safety con

If you thought Western style belonged strictly to the desert, Jenny’s Barn is here to change your mind. Perfectly tucked into Southampton, the boutique founded by Jenny Lauren, niece of Ralph Lauren, offers a fresh Hamptons interpretation of Americana. Think vintage Pendleton, cowhide prints, turquoise jewelry, Western-inspired silhouettes, and plenty of coastal ease. And as Westernwear continues its takeover of fall fashion, the timing couldn’t be better. One of the freshest

It's the season, and Vanilla Spice is having a beauty moment.

Fifteen years after Danielle Bernstein turned a street-style blog into a fashion empire, she is doing something few founders ever get to do. She is buying it back with more control. The WeWoreWhat founder announced a brand-wide relaunch. WeWoreWhat Premium is the focus and expanded autumn 2026 collection of eleven pieces in genuine suede, leather, and ponyhair, every one priced under $800. I am personally happy to see genuine fabrics there are so many brands selling at high p

Some places you visit. Others you return to, summer after summer, until they start to feel like a second home. For my family, that place is Sorrento. We've been coming here almost every summer since around 2014, and this year's trip, our second stop on a few weeks in Italy, reminded me exactly why we keep coming back. Our journey started up north: we took the train from Brescia to Rome, then settled in for the drive south about three hours of winding roads and coastline views

I've been testing Lenox and Sixteenth's Prep Pads for a week or so, and I'll be honest, I didn't expect a pad to change my mind about anything. But here we are. Most treatment pads are designed to take something off your skin. These do the opposite. They're designed to prepare it. The Prep Pads are a two-sided, barrier-first skin conditioning tool from founder and celebrity aesthetician Amy Peterson. Her brand philosophy is "less, but better," born in the treatment room, mad

Fashion is at a crossroads, and the industry's biggest stories are raising one major question: where is fashion going next? From designer collaborations to AI on the runway, iconic brands are rethinking what it means to stay relevant. First, John Galliano brought designer fashion to Zara with his Re{form} project, blurring the lines between luxury and fast fashion. But accessibility isn't the only conversation surrounding the designer; his controversial past also raises quest
