I took a look around my closet the other day and realized I do not have a single piece of color.

Okay, maybe that’s a dramatization but I honestly don’t have a lot and lately I’ve been craving nothing but pops of chartreuse, bold red and fun statement bags and shoes. Dries Van Noten has really been pulling at my heart strings this season. I love the embellished bags! I’ve also been eyeing a few skirts by Des Phemmes.

Needless to say the winter feels as though it’s finally thawing. And yes, I’m wildly aware that I live in sunny California so I hope you picked up on the metaphor there. For a while, style has felt quite muted. Not bad, just colorless.  But lately I’ve felt something shift. The energy is different. Lighter. A little more curious.

I’m ready to start injecting color back into my life again. The kind of color that comes from saying yes to new experiences, letting myself feel excited about what’s next, and remembering that life is meant to be vivid.

So consider this the season where the palette starts to change again. A little brighter, a little bolder, and a lot more alive. Here are a few pieces that I’m currently eyeing.

A few weeks ago, I headed to New York for the Tribeca Film Festival, and it turned into a weekend steeped in cinema, art, and culture.

Between screenings of Rosemead, Boy George and Culture Club, and The Last Guest of the Holloway Motel, I squeezed in as many galleries and exhibits as possible that I cannot stop thinking about.

We kicked things off at the Whitney to see Amy Sherald’s show, which was just as powerful and mesmerizing as you’d expect.

At Pace Gallery, I was completely drawn into Alicia Kwade’s exhibit. Her work felt like stepping into another dimension.

We made our way to Lisson Gallery to see pieces by Carmen Herrera and Hugh Hayden. Carmen’s work stopped me in my tracks—clean, bold, timeless. A standout favorite.

I’m off to Hawaii today for a little birthday getaway, and I couldn’t be more excited.

There’s something about Hawaii that makes vacation dressing feel like play. The colors feel brighter, the prints bolder, and the accessories a little more fun. Whether it’s a breezy floral dress, a sculptural pair of sunglasses, or a splash of gold jewelry, I always find myself stepping a bit outside of my comfort zone when I’m here—and loving it.

Below, I’ve rounded up a few things I’m packing (and a few I’m dreaming about). If you’re starting to plan your own summer escapes, I hope this edit gives you a little inspiration on what to wear where—and maybe even adds a warm-weather treat or two to your cart.
