The Edit | Ralph Lauren Home for the Holidays
There’s something about Ralph Lauren Home that feels inherently festive—rich textures, heritage patterns, and that unmistakable mix of comfort and refinement. This season’s pieces are perfect if you’re looking to treat your home to a touch of holiday warmth, but what I love most is how seamlessly they translate beyond December. Think tartan throws that feel just as charming on a snowy January morning, equestrian-inspired accents that sit beautifully in a hunt country heritage home, and deep woods and leathers that anchor a room all year long.

As much as I love the cozy charm of winter—crackling fires, chunky knits, and endless mugs of tea (and I do drink copious amounts)—the cold air and indoor heat can wreak havoc on skin.

It’s no secret that I have a long-standing love affair with Fairfax & Favor. Their pieces are the foundation of my wardrobe—refined yet practical, effortlessly elegant, and made to last.

The Edit | Equestrian Elegance: My Favorite Brooks Brothers Picks for Fall 2025
This season, Brooks Brothers’ Fall 2025 collection effortlessly bridges classic refinement with subtle equestrian flair—exactly the kind of style that feels at home in Virginia’s hunt country. I’m drawn to their tailored wool blazers and structured riding coats, pieces that evoke timeless sophistication yet remain undeniably practical for crisp mornings at the barn or leisurely weekends in town. Paired with their perfectly cut trousers or a soft cashmere turtleneck, each look feels polished without losing that sense of ease that defines true country elegance.
Summertime Soirée Favorites
Hosting a summertime soiree is one of my greatest joys, whether it's a lively outdoor BBQ with friends or an intimate dinner with family on the deck. The right touches can transform any gathering into a memorable event, and I believe that thoughtfully chosen stemware, napkins, and hosting accessories play a pivotal role in setting the stage for a wonderful meal. Elegant wine glasses and sturdy tumblers enhance the experience of savoring chilled rosé or a refreshing cocktail. Beautifully patterned napkins add a touch of sophistication, while stylish serving trays and utensils ensure both functionality and flair. Each element, from the soft glow of lanterns to the inviting comfort of outdoor cushions, contributes to an ambiance that welcomes guests and creates an atmosphere of effortless summer charm.
