The Ballet Flat I Wear on Repeat- FOr real!
I’ve gone through dozens of ballet flats trying to find ones that don’t destroy my feet after a full day of walking. These are the ones I keep repurchasing. I own them in three colors because they work with everything from jeans to dresses, and I’ve walked miles through NYC, Paris, and beyond without a single blister. If you’re only going to invest in one pair of flats, make it these.

The Cashmere Sweater I’ve Owned for Years
I bought this cashmere sweater three years ago and it’s still in perfect condition—no pilling, no stretched-out sleeves, no regrets. It’s the piece I reach for most often because it works over everything: layered under blazers for meetings, paired with jeans for weekend errands, or packed for every trip because it’s lightweight but genuinely warm. And that goes a long way.

Travel Pants That Actually Look Polished
Finding pants that are comfortable enough for a long flight but polished enough to wear off the plane has always been my holy grail. And I can honestly, say, these are it. I’ve worn them on 12-hour flights, through full days of sightseeing, and to dinner reservations—and somehow they never wrinkle, never lose their shape, and always look intentional. And they are super soft.

The Trench Coat I’ve Worn for Five Years
This trench coat has been to more cities than most people visit in a lifetime. I bought it three years ago and it’s still my first choice every time I need a jacket—for spring weather, fall layering, or unpredictable travel climates. It haas a zip out lining, which is hard to find. The classic cut never looks dated, the neutral color works with everything, and the quality construction means it still looks new despite constant wear.

MY MOST TRAVELED WITH TOTE BAG
I’m particular about bags—they need to hold everything, look polished, not destroy my shoulder, and work for both daily life and travel. This one checks every box. I’ve used it as a carry-on personal item on flights, my everyday work bag, and my go-to for weekend errands. It’s structured enough to stand up on its own but flexible enough to squish under an airplane seat.
