   Raise your hand if you binged Nobody Wants This and found yourself pausing to figure out what everyone is wearing (my hand is raised).

   
   

   Negar Ali Kline, the costume designer behind the show, takes us inside the fitting room for season three: how she built each character’s evolution through clothes, why she keeps athleisure in the background (because it’s so very LA), and the “mic drop” moment she wanted for Morgan’s Watch What Happens Live look. She also shares her path from editorial at Teen Vogue, Vanity Fair, and GQ to costume design, and how she stays inspired by LA style. And whether you’ve binged the show or not, Negar shares the foundational pieces she thinks every woman needs, how she uses uniform dressing to take the guesswork out of getting dressed, and where she shops in LA.

   In this episode, we get into:

   • How costume design reveals a character’s inner world, and where style and psychology intersect
   • Building Bina’s wardrobe, inspired by the women in Negar’s own family, and contrasting the Roklovs with Joanne’s family through color
   • How each character evolves this season, from Esther dating on the apps to Joanne’s cozy and preppy looks
   • The Valentino gown moment and why Negar wanted it to feel soft, romantic, and a little bit fairy tale
   • Why “effortless” date night dressing takes so much effort, and the great going-out top dilemma
   • Why athleisure lives in the background of the show and Negar’s take on LA style
   • Her path from styling shoots with Heidi Bivens to editorial, music videos, and costume design
   • Building a closet around your personality, starting with foundational pieces
   • Uniform dressing, layering, and why she never feels finished without a jacket
   • Her go-to brands for jeans, knitwear, trousers, and shoes
   • Her favorite LA boutiques, including Switch, Mameg, and lunch at Neiman Marcus
   • Her best closet investments
   • What to wear for the holidays and why tonal dressing takes the guesswork out

   Ever stood in front of a full closet and felt like you had nothing to wear? Same. And I’m sure everyone listening has had that moment!

   
   

   This week I’m joined by Kira Mackenzie, CMO of MPH Beauty, who sold her entire wardrobe and started over from scratch. After two kids and a career shift, Kira realized her closet no longer reflected who she was, so she tried on every single piece and let go of anything that didn’t feel like her, (spoiler: it ended up being her entire closet!). We compare notes on our own closet clean-outs, from the first step to the hardest pieces to let go of. Kira also shares how she worked with her stylist, Zoe Stewart, to rebuild her wardrobe piece by piece, and how she shops now. Plus, she breaks down the archetype exercise that changed not just how she gets dressed, but how she shows up in the world.

   In this episode, we get into:

   • How to know it’s time for a full closet clean-out
   • Where to start, and why you have to try every single piece on
   • Why booking your resale appointment for the next day is a game-changer
   • How to let go of sentimental and “someday” pieces
   • Whether you need a stylist to do this (spoiler: you don’t)
   • Building It Girl and Get Girl archetypes to define your style
   • How Kira uses AI to find new brands and track down sold-out pieces
   • The tops, trousers, and shoes she brought back into her closet
   • Why getting dressed is about how you choose to show up

   Fall is officially here (even in LA), and this month's solo episode is all about getting dressed for it. I'm answering your questions on everything from figuring out your proportions to finding the right skirt for your body, plus how I stay warm without feeling like a marshmallow.

   
   

   We start with proportions: the simple at-home test I use to understand my torso, why getting your measurements taken will change your life, and why I think we should reframe proportions as balance. From there, we get into my undying love for the skirt, inspired by Mrs. Prada's all-skirt collection at Milan Fashion Week, and how to find the one that works for you. I also share my smartest layering tricks for fall and winter, my go-to loafers and boots, why I've been ignoring trends and paying attention to styling instead, and the outfit formulas I lean on for a fall or winter cocktail party.

   • How to find the right skirt for your body and personal style
   • How I've been finding so many great skirts at Zara
   • How to stay warm without bulk, and why fabric matters more than layering more
   • Why Uniqlo Heattech has saved me every winter
   • My go-to fall shoes: G.H. Bass, Scarosso, Dear Frances, and the Staud Wally boot
   • Why I'm focusing on styling over trends this season

   Fresh off the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in Los Angeles, I'm sitting on my closet floor (still in full glam!) to unpack everything that went down. From Kylie Jenner's $50 million Fantasy Bra and the return of the OG Angels to the incredible performances, surprise celebrity sightings, and the moments that made me emotional, we're getting into it all.

   
   

   I'm also diving into the Adam Selman effect, why I think he's one of the most interesting creative directors in fashion right now, and how Victoria's Secret is balancing nostalgia with a new generation of Angels. Plus, my thoughts on the PINK runway, the growing obsession with vintage Victoria's Secret dresses, and whether this whole spectacle actually makes us want to shop the brand again.

   Is your wardrobe a want, a need, or an investment? Haley Sacks, aka Mrs. Dow Jones, makes the case that the clothes are never the investment. The investment is you in the clothes.

   
   

   Haley shares how to love fashion and still be smart with money. She explains how she applies the 50/30/20 budget to clothes, how freelancers can budget without a steady paycheck, and why a first corporate wardrobe counts as a real need. She walks through the trend cycle from the runway to fast-fashion dupes and gives her three tips for shopping with intention. She also gets candid about the Chanel bag and Birkin she bought expecting them to hold their value, and what actually happens at resale. Plus, Haley breaks down cost per wear vs. girl math, why buy now, pay later is a trap, and why women should never hand off control of their finances.

   
   

   In this episode, we get into:

   
   

   • The 50/30/20 budget and where clothes actually fall
   • How to budget for fashion as a freelancer, including setting aside money for taxes
   • When a work wardrobe is a need, and why it's an investment in "future you"
   • The fashion trend cycle, from runway to influencers to fast-fashion dupes
   • Haley's tips for smarter shopping: audit your closet, know your goals, price check, shop secondhand, and return what you won't wear
   • The three-day rule before buying anything
   • Why Birkins and luxury handbags aren't investments
   • Work wardrobe essentials
   • Cost per wear vs. girl math, and why the "bad with money" stereotype hurts women
   • Why buy now, pay later and splitting purchases are traps
   • Haley's best closet investment - the Dries Van Noten dress she's worn to 12 weddings

   If you've ever wanted to channel your inner maximalist but didn't know where to start, this episode is for you.

   
   

   Style creator Julia Berolzheimer joins us to break down polished maximalism, her signature mix of color on color and print on print, and how to wear it so it feels refined, not over the top. We get into her formula for mixing prints: start with one statement piece, pay attention to texture, and find a single thread of a shared shade to tie it all together (plus why a stripe pairs with almost any print). We talk about why she invests in statements and saves on staples, how to test a bold piece at a lower price before you splurge, and the closet clean-out habit that helped her define her style. We also get into why the funky bag is always the outfit maker, how she vets Etsy sellers for one-of-a-kind finds, and how to build a work wardrobe that's fun but still office appropriate.

   
   

   Shop Julia's closet here: https://shopmy.us/shop/juliaberolzheimer?tab=latest

   
   

   In this episode, we get into:

   
   

   • What "polished maximalism" actually means, and how Julia layers color, print, and embellishment, then pulls back just enough
   • How her style evolved from college-era Topshop and Gal Meets Glam Collection to a funkier, less "sweet" point of view in her 30s
   • Spotting patterns when you clean out your closet so you stop re-buying things you never wear
   • How Julia mood boards for trips, seasons, and even her home, and why a mood board should be inspiration, not recreation
   • Why interiors are some of her best sources of outfit inspiration
   • Mixing prints without rules: starting with one piece, paying attention to texture, and why stripes pair with almost anything
   • Jewelry as the connector that pulls a maximalist outfit together
   • Why she ignores the "no more than three colors" rule
   • Her one real rule: invest in statements, save on staples
   • Finding your "outfit maker" pieces, and testing a statement at a lower price point before you splurge
   • How Julia shops Etsy, from keyword searches to vetting sellers
   • Her daily shopping rounds, the brands she loves for color and print right now, and why personality dressing is back for fall
   • Receipts: the most expensive thing Julia has ever bought
   • How she hunts for vintage jewelry at auction
   • And how to building a work wardrobe that's fun but still office-appropriate

   I'm back with another September AMA episode, and this one is packed. We get into how to actually land a Fashion Week invite as a creative, what to wear to your first job in corporate fashion, and at-home hand-wash strategy I've been using to avoid the dry cleaner.

   In this episode, we get into:

   • How to actually get invited to Fashion Week as a creative — the timeline, the pitch, and the exact language to use (and avoid)
   • What to wear to your first job in corporate fashion, from statement blazers to the one colorful cardigan I swears by
   • My at-home laundry strategy for avoiding the dry cleaner and how I'm learning to hand-wash cashmere

   Linoy Friedman, AKA What People Are Wearing breaks down the trends she spotted at New York Fashion Week. We get into the pop of red moment taking over street style (and how to actually find your shade), the sweater-tied-around-the-waist trick that's secretly a styling hack and not a trend at all, the return of statement necklaces and brooches as finishing touches, and the 3D texture -- fringe, feathers, pom-poms -- showing up on everything this season. We talk about why over-logoing an outfit is the fastest way to lose it, why "wear the trend, don't let the trend wear you" is the only rule either of us follows anymore, and her theory on which trends are actually worth buying into versus styling with what's already in your closet. We also get into her favorite shows of the week, the jeans and tees she and Liv actually reach for on repeat, and what she'd wear to a 30th birthday dinner if she wanted to feel elevated without trying too hard.

   
   

   Get your notes app ready, because this is going to be an episode you want to take note and shop!

   
   

   In this episode, we get into:

   
   

   
   

   
   

   • How Linoy built What People Are Wearing into one of the most trusted street style accounts, and what she's actually looking for when she's clocking outfits in real time
   • The biggest trends she spotted on the ground this Fashion Week, from a full-red moment to color blocking to 3D texture (fringe, feathers, pom-poms) showing up everywhere
   • The sweater-around-the-waist trick that's secretly a styling hack, not a trend, and why she thinks the best trends are the ones already sitting in your closet
   • The vintage-earring-on-a-vest moment that went viral on her account, and why she thinks brooches and statement necklaces are having a real comeback
   • Her rule for wearing red without it looking try-hard, and why the right shoe is the easiest way to bring color into a wardrobe
   • Her take on why over-logoing an outfit "loses the story," and the one styling sin she thinks should be illegal (branded caps)
   • Her favorite shows of the week, including Magda Butrym's rose-covered runway and Rachel Scott's Proenza Schouler show, and why she can't stop thinking about either
   • The jeans, tees, and jewelry she and Liv actually rebuy on repeat, from Levi's 501s to vintage YSL to her grandmother's 14 karats
   • What she'd wear to a 30th birthday dinner in New York if she wanted to feel fun, elevated, and not too young

   Welcome to the first episode of Undressed, a new short-form series where I’m giving you my unfiltered take on what I’m seeing, loving, thinking about, and taking away from the fashion world in real time.

   
   

   For my first debrief, we’re talking New York Fashion Week — my 18th one! I’m getting into the shows I loved, the pieces already on my shopping list, why fashion feels especially exciting right now, and what this season made me realize about my own personal style. Plus, I’m sharing how I actually look at a runway show beyond the still images: the references, music, venue, show notes, and all the context that can completely change how you experience a collection.

    If you've ever been told there's no clear path for the career you want, this episode is proof you can build the path yourself.

    
    

    Kyle Smith joins us as the NFL's first-ever fashion editor, a role that didn't exist until he created it. We get into how a scrappy Instagram account he ran during COVID, just posting tunnel fits for fun, became his literal proof of concept and landed him back at the league in a job title no one had held before. We talk about taking Joe Burrow to Paris for his first-ever trip outside the country and putting him in a backless Peter Do suit for Vogue World, a moment that generated $22 million in paid media value, why Hermès has quietly become an unofficial partner of the NFL tunnel, and his theory on why athletes, not influencers, are becoming fashion's most trusted tastemakers. We also get into his "what rooms do you want to be in" framework for getting dressed with intention, and his advice for anyone trying to build a career in a lane that doesn't exist yet.

    
    

    In this episode, we get into:

    
    

    
    

    
    

    • How Kyle became the NFL's first-ever fashion editor, and how a proof-of-concept Instagram account he ran during COVID turned into a job that didn't exist before he pitched for it
    • His path from working under celebrity stylist Karla Welch, to styling NFL Network hosts, to building the league's entire fashion strategy from the ground up
    • The story behind Joe Burrow's viral backless Peter Do suit at Vogue World Paris, and how the moment generated $22 million in paid media value
    • Why Hermès has become an unofficial partner of the NFL tunnel, from Saquon Barkley's shadow Birkin to custom Bengals-orange bags for Joe Burrow

    • The "what rooms do you want to be in" framework he uses with players (and the rest of us) to make getting dressed intentional instead of reactive

    This is the last episode of our August hiatus, and we wanted to close it out with one of the most inspiring conversations from the past year. Heading into a new season felt like the right time to revisit Julie Wainwright's story — about reinvention, building something from scratch, and trusting yourself when the path isn't obvious. We're back with brand new episodes next week!

    
    

    From shuttering a business to billion-dollar success, Julie Wainwright is a serial entrepreneur who's seen it all. After serving as CEO of Pets.com and experiencing its collapse during the dot-com crash, Julie reinvented herself and went on to build The RealReal, the luxury resale platform that revolutionized the industry. In this episode, Julie opens up about how she turned a setback into her biggest company yet, the innovations that set The RealReal apart, and the powerful lessons she's learned as a woman navigating the business world.

    We're off for our August hiatus, but we couldn't go quiet without re-sharing one of our favorite conversations from the past year. As we head into a new season — both literally and personally — this conversation about finding your style through life's shifts felt like the right one to revisit.

    
    

    What happens when your body, your life, or your routine changes, and suddenly nothing in your closet feels like you anymore? In this week's episode, Liv sits down with stylist and author Allison Bornstein to talk about finding your style again through life's shifts: pregnancy, postpartum, new jobs, breakups, or just new eras.

    
    

    They chat about making peace with your closet, letting go of the clothes that "ask too much" of you, and learning how to dress for the person you are right now vs the person your clothes could hold you to be. Allison shares her signature Three-Word Method, tips for rebuilding confidence when your body changes, and why the goal isn't a perfect wardrobe, but a kinder relationship with the one you already have.

    We're off for our August hiatus, but we couldn't go quiet without re-sharing one of our favorite conversations from the past year. After last week's closet cleanout episode, this one felt like the perfect follow-up — because once you've edited your wardrobe down, the next question is how to actually take care of what's left.

    
    

    Have you ever wondered where all the red carpet gowns go when the night is over? Meet Julie Ann Clauss, the founder and head archivist of The Wardrobe, a fashion archive based in Los Angeles and home to the wardrobes of Chloe Sevigny and some of our favorites celebs. After getting her masters at FIT in Fashion History, Julie Ann was poached by Tom Ford to create his archive, and then went on to create the archives of Jason Wu, Carolina Herrera, Proenza Schouler, Ralph Lauren, and many more. In today's episode, Julie Ann walks us through the art of archiving, her best preservation tips, and what she thinks will be most collectable from 2025.

    We're off for our August hiatus, but we couldn't go quiet without re-sharing one of our favorite conversations from the past year. If you've been reaching for the same sunscreen and calling it a day, this episode will change how you think about sun protection — and your summer wardrobe.

    
    

    I’m joined by one of my oldest friends, Emma Gerber, who just so happens to be building one of the most exciting brands in the suncare space. Claudent is designing stylish, elevated UPF 50+ clothing that not only protects your skin but makes you want to wear sun-safe looks every day. We talk about the science behind UPF fabric, why most “sun-protective” clothes wash out after a few cycles, and how her brand is redefining fashion-meets-function.

    If you have ever stood in a closet full of clothes and thought "I have nothing to wear," this episode is for you. It's our last solo episode before we head off for summer break, and I'm unpacking what I'm calling my biggest style growth spurt in years. It didn't come from one purchase or one outfit, it came from a full mental shift in how I think about getting dressed every day, treating my personal style with the same care I give my physical and mental wellness. I get into the wardrobe reset that came out of it, the "wardrobe rage" phenomenon Maggie Sellers coined on her podcast Hot Smart Rich (Did you know on average women lose 119 days of their careers just getting dressed?!), and the quarterly system I now swear by to keep my closet and my mornings actually working for me. Plus, a full Q&A covering monthly clothing budgets, what to do with a former "it" item you've fallen out of love with, and what to wear to the beach if shorts just aren't your thing.

    
    

    Consider this your cheat code to stop losing 10 minutes every morning to a pile of clothes on the floor.

    • My quarterly closet ritual
    • Why a spotless closet is "personal style hygiene"

    • Law Roach's advice on giving yourself permission to miss

    If you think you have to move to New York or LA to make it in fashion, this episode says otherwise.

    
    

    Jack Savoie joins us from Denver to talk about building a fashion career — and a viral following — without uprooting your life. We get into how a fake Manolo Blahnik callout on TikTok caught Bethenny Frankel's attention and took him from 20K to 67K followers overnight, why he still works full-time as a buyer at A.Line while creating content on the side, and how he broke the news that Sabrina Carpenter was wearing Dior at Coachella before Vogue's own exclusive dropped. We also talk about his path from Nordstrom shoe sales to designer buying, the "Shoes of the Past" series that turned fashion nostalgia into a cultural moment, and his advice for anyone trying to break into the industry without an internship or a big city zip code.

    
    

    In this episode, we get into:

    
    

    • How Jack built a career in fashion while staying based in Denver, and why he doesn't think you need to live in New York or LA to make it in the industry
    • The story behind his viral Manolo Blahnik video — how he spotted a fake shoe in a Bethenny Frankel TikTok and grew from 20K to 67K followers in under 24 hours
    • His path from selling shoes at Nordstrom to becoming a buyer at boutique retailer A.Line
    • How "Shoes of the Past," his series on discontinued cult shoes like the YSL Eiffel Tower cage boot and the Isabel Marant Beckett wedge, became his biggest content wave
    • What it's actually like balancing a full-time buying job with a content career, and how he manages burnout
    • How he broke the news that Sabrina Carpenter wore Dior at Coachella before Vogue's own exclusive was published
    • His biggest recent splurge — a surprise Birkin 30 in Rouge H from his longtime Hermès sales associate — and why he waits months before wearing new purchases
    • The brands and designers he thinks are doing the best work right now, including Chanel, Dior, and Kallmeyer
    • His current red carpet favorites, from Teyana Taylor and Margot Robbie to Sombr's fashion-forward run this year
    • His advice for anyone trying to break into fashion without a traditional industry job or big-city move

    Okay, I have to say it: retail is broken, and I don't think I'm the only one who feels that way.

    
    

    I've had such a big bone to pick with retail lately, and every time I bring it up — here on the podcast, on my socials — you guys have so much to say too. So today I'm finally getting into it: the post-COVID luxury gatekeeping that's got us all waiting in line for something that's supposed to feel special, the final sale chaos that's basically taken over everything, and the whole Brandy Melville dressing room saga that broke the internet a few weeks ago. After I posted a rant about all of this on Instagram, I woke up to literally hundreds of DMs from you guys with your own horror stories and dream stories, and there was such a clear through line in what everyone said that I knew I had to bring it here properly. But I didn't want to just complain for 30 minutes, so the back half of this episode is my full LA shopping guide — every vintage store, denim spot, concept store, and standalone brand that's actually doing it right, plus exactly how I'd plan a full day of shopping in West Hollywood, Venice, or Malibu.

    In this episode, we get into:

    
    

    • Why Liv thinks retail peaked too soon, from luxury's post-COVID gatekeeping (appointments, lines) to the final-sale "epidemic" hitting resale sites like The RealReal
    • The Brandy Melville dressing room controversy, and what it says about the shopping experience for an entire generation
    • The flood of DMs Liv got after her retail rant went viral, and the surprising through-line in what listeners said they miss most about shopping
    • Liv's case for why LA is having a real shopping renaissance, and why she calls it the denim capital of the world
    • Her definitive vintage guide, including Scout, RLT, Reformation Vintage, and The RealReal
    • Where to find the best vintage denim in LA, from With Love, Lenny to The Dig in Venice
    • Her favorite multi-brand and concept stores, including Mohawk General Store and the newly opened Earl IRL (owned by former editor Laurel Pantin)
    • Standout standalone brand stores, from a surprise favorite at Rachel Comey to an appointment-only visit to Jacques Marie Mage
    • How to plan a full day of shopping in West Hollywood, Abbot Kinney, or Malibu Country Mart, including where to eat
    • Liv's advice for finding a genuine, personal shopping experience wherever you live

    If your everyday outfits feel like an afterthought, this episode is going to change that.

    
    

    Gabs Gofis (aka Gift of Gabs on Substack) joins us to talk about the category most of us ignore: the in-between outfit. We get into how she built a signature, easy LA style after years of feeling confused by trends, why she's stopped sizing for her true size and started sizing for fit, and the exact brands she reaches for on repeat — Donni, Still Here New York, RLT, and more. We also talk eyewear as the most underrated investment in your closet, how she finds one-of-a-kind vintage on Etsy and The RealReal (and the AI hack she swears by for sizing), and why her "Gaps in the Closet" practice changed the way she shops for good.

    
    

    Plus, we get into slob chic, the difference between LA dressing and New York dressing, the bag she actually wears every day versus the one she dreams of, and her advice for anyone who feels like they're either too dressed up or not dressed up at all.

    
    

    Shop all items mentioned in the episode: https://shopmy.us/collections/5987092

    
    

    In this episode, we get into:

    • Why Gabs believes the "in-between" outfit — not your dressed-up looks — is actually the most important category in your closet
    • How moving from the East Coast to LA completely shifted her personal style, and why LA dressing is rooted in ease over polish
    • Her go-to in-between brands on repeat
    • Why she invests in eyewear over almost anything else right now — including her vintage Chanel pair from The RealReal and her Phoebe Philo "Cookie" sunglasses
    • Her best vintage shopping hacks + how she searches Etsy by fabric and the AI trick she uses to check sizing before buying
    • Her "Gaps in the Closet" method 
    • How she dresses up a sweatpant moment without trying too hard
    • The bag she actually wears every day versus the investment piece she's not ready to carry daily yet
    • Her go-to shoe rotation for elevating a casual outfit
    • Her favorite LA shopping spots for vintage and resale
    • How she would style a wedding guest dress under $500

    Content creator and marathon runner Brett Chody joins us for what we're calling the sporty girl's guide to getting dressed — a practical conversation about building a wardrobe around an active life without sacrificing style.

    
    

    We get into all of it: how being an athlete shapes the way you see your body and get dressed, the bags she's investing in (and why she gravitates toward color over classics), her honest take on wearables and why she finally took off her Oura Ring, and the exact brands and pieces she reaches for every single day.

    
    

    We also talk about Bites Run Club — how a spontaneous Instagram story turned into 150 girls showing up to run Central Park, and why in-person community might be one of the most underrated things you can build right now. Plus the runner uglies, men's deodorant as a life hack, designing her own Nike shoe, and the wardrobe advice she gives every woman who moves a lot and actually wants to get dressed.

    In this episode, we get into:

    
    

    
    

    • How being a marathon runner has completely shaped the way Brett gets dressed — and why athletes often have the most instinctive sense of personal style
    • The sporty girl uniform that actually works: the exact jeans, tops, and shoes Brett reaches for when she wants to look put together without trying too hard
    • Why she sizes up in almost everything she buys — and why she tells her followers to stop looking at the tag
    • The bag conversation: why she invests in color over classics, the pistachio suede Chanel she ran a race for, and what her Bottega, Prada Cleo, and Andiamo all say about her style
    • Her honest Oura Ring confession — why she wore it every day for a year, what finally made her take it off, and whether she'd ever go back
    • The Apple Watch debate: why she thinks it's "tears" as a fashion accessory and what she actually wears on her wrist instead
    • Her go-to workout gear broken down by activity — what she runs in versus what she wears to Pilates, and why those are two very different wardrobes
    • Designing her own Nike Vomero+ colorway and why it felt like a full-circle moment from her Nike ID days in high school
    • How Bites Run Club started with one Instagram story and 150 girls showing up to Central Park — and why she thinks in-person community is what people are craving most right now
    • The post-grad loneliness no one talks about — and how finding a hobby with a built-in community can change everything
    • The deodorant hot take that stopped us in our tracks (hint: it's from the men's aisle)
    • Her dessert bowl wardrobe breakdown: the piece she's had since high school that's still in heavy rotation, the brand she keeps buying in multiples, and what recently got retired

    Handbags have always been emotional purchases. Somewhere along the way, they became financial ones too, and if you've ever tried to justify a Birkin to someone who doesn't get it, Rachel Koffsky is the woman who makes that argument for you.

    
    

    Rachel is the Head of Handbags at Christie's, one of the world's most prestigious auction houses, and has spent 12 years at the intersection of fashion, collecting, and the resale market. She joins me to break down what it actually means to treat a handbag like an asset, and which bags are worth your money right now.

    
    

    We get into the history of handbags at auction, what the market is telling us about where we are culturally, and why classic pieces continue to outperform almost everything else. Whether you're sitting on a collection or thinking about your first serious purchase, this episode will change how you think about what's hanging in your closet.

    
    

    Shop all items mentioned in the episode: https://shopmy.us/collections/5624992

    
    

    In this episode, we get into:

    
    

    • How Christie's first offered a handbag for sale in 1978 — with pieces from Coco Chanel's personal collection
    • The era of the It Bag and why the late 90s and early 2000s changed collecting forever
    • Why Birkins and Kellys set record prices during the 2008 recession — and what that proved about handbags as investments
    • How the pandemic accelerated the shift to digital and created an entirely new generation of handbag collectors
    • Christie's 96% sell-through rate in handbags and what it signals about the current market
    • The five factors Christie's uses to evaluate and price every bag: brand, material, model, condition, and rarity
    • Which bags are actually appreciating right now — and which are too trend-dependent to hold value
    • Why the Kelly Pochette is having its moment and what's driving demand for smaller, evening-ready styles
    • The world record Christie's set for a Kelly Doll bag — and why it sold for $350,000
    • How to research a bag purchase the way a collector would
    • The difference between buying at Christie's versus a resale platform — and when each makes sense
    • Why Karl-era Chanel is having a major moment at auction right now
    • The sticker debate: does leaving them on actually increase value?
    • Why Rachel believes handbags should be worn, loved, and used — not kept in a box

    Sneakers used to be one of two things: performance or fashion. Somewhere in the last decade, that line collapsed — and the shoes most of us are reaching for now sit firmly in the middle.

    
    

    I'm joined by Adam and Ryan Goldston, founders of APL and the first members of an athletic company ever inducted into the CFDA, for a conversation on how they ushered in the era of the fashion sneaker. From getting banned by the NBA for their first shoe to landing in Selfridges, Net-a-Porter, and Saks before anyone else was selling performance product in those rooms, Adam and Ryan share how a clear point of view — and a refusal to use logos — built one of the most distinctive sneaker brands in the world.

    
    

    We get into world-building beyond product, why they believe taste is their real superpower and the consumer shift toward quieter, design-led pieces.

    
    

    Shop APL https://www.athleticpropulsionlabs.com/

    
    

    In this episode, we get into:

    • What actually set the stage for the era of the fashion sneaker
    • Why being inducted into the CFDA in 2016 was a turning point for the entire sneaker industry
    • The decision to launch in Selfridges, Net-a-Porter, and Saks before anyone else was selling performance in luxury rooms
    • Why APL refuses to use big, emblazoned logos — and how that built a stronger brand
    • The rise of the personal brand and why consumers don't want to be walking advertisements anymore
    • What "simple, yet severe" actually means as a design philosophy
    • Inside the APL flagship at The Grove and why it feels more like a gallery than a store
    • Why building a brand world still requires a physical experience in an increasingly digital age
    • Ralph Lauren as the singular blueprint for world-building — and the moment they found out Ralph himself is an APL fan
    • Why Adam and Ryan consider taste their real superpower (and how to cultivate it)
    • The relationship between taste, bravery, and confidence
    • The Tokyo trip and the souffle pancakes that inspired the ZipLine midsole
    • Why texture — both tactile and visual — is the most important element of a perfect sneaker
    • The rise of the luxury basic and why consumers are investing in staples right now
    • How the F1 partnership in 2016 shaped APL's global luxury performance positioning

24. How to Find the Perfect Pair of Jeans for Your Body Type (From a Vintage Denim Expert)

    Denim should be the easiest thing in our closet — we wear it almost every single day — but somehow it's the category that humbles us the most. We've all had that experience of walking into a department store, trying on ten pairs of jeans, and leaving with none.

    
    

    I'm joined by Lindsay Davidson Paley, founder of Lenny, the LA vintage denim store that has become a destination for anyone looking for their perfect pair. After spending an afternoon in her store and walking out with jeans I actually love, I wanted to sit down with her to demystify everything about denim — from why fit feels impossible right now, to what to actually look for when you're vintage shopping, to the conversation you should be having with your tailor.

    
    

    In this episode, we get into:

    • Why finding jeans that fit feels harder than ever (and the fit model problem nobody talks about)
    • Vanity sizing and why you're a 24 in one brand and a 26 in another
    • The single most important thing to know before you shop for jeans (hint: your measurements)
    • Why Lindsay's a firm believer in dressing for your body — and the one rule jeans don't get to break
    • The Levi's 501 lore: why everyone wants them, why they don't work on everyone, and how to actually wear them
    • The viral "size up three in the new 501s" hack — and whether it actually works
    • The three non-negotiables Lindsay looks for when sourcing vintage denim (original hem, wash, distressing)
    • Why the original hem is sacred and what to tell your tailor so you never lose it
    • The case against skinny jeans (and why America is the only country that agrees)
    • Why a dark wash is the most universally flattering and elevating
    • The crotch test — Lindsay's #1 tell for whether a pair of jeans is actually right for you
    • How to know when a pair is workable for tailoring vs. when to put them back
    • Whether $700 jeans are worth it and what you're actually paying for
    • The best modern denim brands worth investing in (Agolde, Citizens, The Row's Yale Alaw, Khaite, Reformation)
    • The best pregnancy jean (and the Levi's Low Loose nobody can stop wearing)
    • Why denim is officially a neutral — and what it says about fashion that Chanel, Celine, and Gucci are all sending jeans down the runway
    • Plus, on Let's Get You Dressed: what to actually wear to a spring baby shower when you're not a floral dress girl

    Every summer, there's that one defining piece -- the Havaianas, the jelly sandals, the Miu Miu cowboy hat. But this year? It's quiet.

    Shownotes

    Ralph Lauren isn't just a brand — it's one of the only American fashion houses that has shaped culture for nearly 60 years. And right now, it's having one of its biggest cultural moments yet, resonating across every generation. 

    
    

    Today we’re joined by longtime WWD fashion editor and friend of the house, Bridget Foley, who’s had a front row seat to the brand’s evolution. She’s also the author of Lauren’s latest book, Ralph Lauren Catwalk, which covers over 100 runway shows and the brand’s most iconic moments. 

    
    

    In this episode, we get into:

    • What actually defines a brand with longevity (and why so few designers achieve it)
    • Ralph's "meet cute" moment with fashion and why he calls himself a storyteller, not a designer
    • The authenticity that makes Ralph different from every other luxury house
    • Why Ralph was doing "lifestyle" decades before the term existed
    • The hand-me-downs, vintage uniforms, and Bronx childhood that shaped his entire aesthetic
    • Ralph's belief in longevity and preservation, sustainability before it had a name
    • Inside the Ralph Lauren archive (and why Bridget calls it a "fashion lover's wonderland")
    • Why Gen Z fell in love with Ralph Lauren and what their parents' closets have to do with it
    • The codes that have permeated time: the tuxedo jacket over jeans, the polo shirt, the patchwork
    • Ralph Lauren's optimism and what it's actually rooted in
    • What Ralph has done to stay relevant with the next generation

    If there’s one thing that’s transformed my personal style the most, it’s this: editing my closet. I’m a firm believer that a tidy closet = a clear mind, and every spring, I treat it like a full reset.

    
    

    After doing one of the biggest clean-outs of my life (we’re talking half my closet gone), I realized that great style isn’t about having more, it’s about having the right pieces, and knowing how to let go of the rest. 

    
    

    In this solo episode, I’m walking you through my exact, step-by-step guide to a spring closet reset—how to approach it with intention, make it actually enjoyable, and come out the other side with a wardrobe that finally feels like you.

    
    

    We get into:

    • How to define your personal style right now
    • The exact system I use to edit my closet (keep, tailor, rehome)
    • My “hero rack” trick that changes how you get dressed every day
    • What to do with pieces you feel emotionally attached to
    • How to actually sell your clothes (and make money back)
    • Why you shouldn’t rush to buy anything new after a clean-out

    Thank you to Depop for making this episode possible. Happy selling, happy shopping, and happy spring cleaning

    The Met Gala is the Super Bowl of red carpets, the most photographed, dissected, and mythologized night in fashion. But most of what we think we know about it isn't quite right.

    
    

    I'm joined by Amy Odell, journalist and author of Anna: The Biography, for a conversation that pulls back the curtain on what really happens behind fashion's biggest night. From how Anna Wintour actually approves looks, to who makes it onto the invite list, to why tech money is suddenly funding the whole thing, Amy decodes it all.

    
    

    In this episode, we get into:

    • The biggest misconceptions about the Met Gala (and what really happens behind the scenes)
    • How Anna Wintour actually approves looks — and what she doesn't see
    • Who gets invited, who gets crossed off the list, and how the seating really works
    • Why Met Gala tickets jumped to $100K this year and what tables actually cost
    • The Bezos era: how tech money is reshaping fashion's biggest night
    • Why brands like LVMH and Kering aren't buying tables the way they used to
    • The Devil Wears Prada Vogue cover and what it tells us about Vogue's future
    • The real story of how Lauren Weisberger went from Anna's assistant to writing the book
    • Why the Costume Institute has to raise its own funds (and Anna's role in changing that)
    • Met Gala vs. Oscars: how fashion superseded Hollywood on the red carpet
    • Behind-the-scenes rules: the no-phones policy, green rooms, and rider requests
    • The Zendaya x Anna Sui matching look moment and how it slipped through
    • What to expect from "Costume Art" and the "Fashion Is Art" dress code
    • How to actually watch the Met: Amy's go-to live stream and second-screen setup

    Some of the most-asked questions I get are about the stuff we wear every single day, the work pants, the basics, the summer sandals, the first-date outfit. And honestly, these are the hardest things to get right, because they're the pieces that have to actually work in your real life.

    
    

    I'm answering all of your questions, from the affordable work pants I've worn literally to Paris and back, to the sleepover outfit that isn't lingerie, to why I'm personally not betting on 90s minimalism being the trend of the year.

    
    

    We also get into the reality of summer sandal shopping when you actually have to walk, the affordable basics that rival luxury, how to experiment with trends without blowing your budget, and my best advice for anyone trying to break into fashion right now.

    
    

    In this episode, we get into:

    • The $148 work pants I've worn from Paris Fashion Week to an LA birthday in the same day
    • Where to actually find great tops that aren't tees or button-downs
    • What to wear to a new fling's place that isn't lingerie but still feels good
    • Why I don't believe in sneakers with sundresses — and what to wear instead
    • The most comfortable summer sandals (and the ones that will ruin your vacation)
    • The affordable basics that rival luxury (Uniqlo, Old Navy, Quince, COS)
    • The $25 jeans that have been $25 since the 90s — and are actually good
    • How to experiment with trends on Depop without overspending
    • Why I think fashion is fun again and 90s minimalism isn't the trend of the year
    • The first-date outfit formula that always works
    • My honest advice for breaking into fashion (especially after a layoff)
