Another New York request! I need to get a dress / outfit for a big work event next week and I’m waiting until I get to NYC to shop for it. Looking for something that’s casual but put together. Where should I shop? My go-tos are usually Toast, Cos, & Other Stories. Would love new recs!

in house studio: incredibly beautiful basics that are polished, but unfussy. they describe them as “effortless and enduring wardrobe foundations,” so perfect for an important work event, but deeply wearable in your real life.

you can book an apt to see the collection in their studio that feels just as special as the pieces themselves (granted i’m biased it was done by @Talia who i work with!)

Pachute: I am a Cos diehard, but the curation at Pachute (a small women-owned boutique on a side street on the UWS of all places, a newer outpost on Madison Avenue and one in Southampton) has a pretty great selection of indie brands. Clothing, footwear, accessories, gifts.
