495: An outfit that winks

Last night, I went from a fine jewelry-watch event for Marli hosted by my friend Brynn Wallner Uptown, where some tongue-in-cheek was made about being the ladies of Madison Avenue, to Public Records in Gowanus for an old-school media mixer hosted by Delia Cai and featuring a matrix of my generation’s most upwardly mobile in-house editors and name-brand Substackers, plus new journalism grads with whom to network “vertically.” The temps hung just under 89º.
For a split-brain occasion of codes and cohorts, I wore a Nu Swim t-shirt (my recently discovered category end-all-be-all—more on this soon), a Commission skirt that plays the Prada trick of pressed fold lines and adds the piece de resistance: a fabric version of the paper tag stapled on by dry cleaners. It says “C S26.” With these, my evergreen The Row Dahlia bag and new regulars, Scarosso silver Pauli heels.
A posh gentleman at the watch function told me he likes my skirt, appreciating the creases, which he clocked as intentional: “it winks.”

What’s new
Some sexy summer shoe updates: There are the Ibis slingback and the fold over upper bloom sandal from Jude, both with a square peep-toe for showing off pedicures that had the Magasin News Crew in stitches. Jamie Haller just released two new versions of the penny loafer—a mule and an unlined penny loafer, each heat-wicking—and there’s the Olympe ballet flat by Repetto, a ballerina version of the Zizi Oxford shoe that’s built to mold to the foot.
Two new brands are on our radar—both small batch, massive impact. First we have Doze, a new loungewear brand inspired by the Australian landscape. Online now are two sets of silk-cotton blend pajama-like button-downs and pants, plus two pairs of shorts. Then there’s Svarian, a new handbag brand by Anika Pandey whose Italian artisan-crafted bags arrive sub $500 (!) for any gal on the go seeking totes with long shoulder drops, and fold-over clutches that double as handbags with a detachable strap.
Shanghai-based label Ruohoan is now at Net-A-Porter, yet another independent brand added to the e-tailer’s growing matrix. Fifteen pieces are available, all sub-$1k; our favs are the Savai cotton-gauze dress and the Aeris pleated silk-crepe midi.
There’s also: Leset’s tencel-blend-filled July collection; the cluster pendants and lapis drop earrings from Sophie Buhai’s R27 collection, now available for pre-order; Charlotte Chesnais’s very first bridal collection, with some seriously sculptural engagement rings; the new jelly bags by ERL, available on the Cali-based brand’s website; a collection of one-of-one skirts by Britt Liberg at Carmen Amsterdam; and the Merit x The Ritz-Carlton collaboration, including beauty carts at Ritz-Carlton lounges, turndown amenities, and even in-room product bundles for guests, along with the Getaway set, a 4-product bundle of top-rated minis.
Men’s releases
There’s a new Our Legacy Work Shop Sport collection for Summer 26, and this one is dedicated to ripstop. The collection consists mainly of water-resistant track jackets and matching shorts, as well as a few accessories, like a five-panel running cap and a parachute bag. The sport blouson is also really interesting, built for layering on post-workout.
What’s on sale
La Garçonne is having a spring sale, and it rewards a good dig. The average discount is between 30%–50% off, like this Margaret Howell merino wool cardigan—but there is the occasional gem, like this Issey Miyake technical cotton jacket 70% off, from the $1,700 range to just over $500. Something to note: The bigger the discount, the more likely there’s only one left in stock, and that it’s final sale.
The Agmes archive sale is here, and you can access it with the password ‘spring2026.’ Fare includes a lot of experiments and samples of all different materials, from the onyx lariat pendant to the XL Esther brooch in silver (shaped like the heads from Esther Island, genius).
At the B Sides sale, 60–65% off is the name of the game for the majority of items, across basics and jeans alike. A lot of seasonal colors and patterns pop up across both categories, like the Helen tie-dyed sweatshirt for $58 down from $195, and the Lange Lasso trousers in Japanese Glen plaid twill, half off at $272.
Happy birthday, Gil Rodriguez! Just like last year, the brand is celebrating with a sale—but for 2026, said sale is in the form of 20% off sitewide. Everything from the tube convertible midi to the corazon bodysuit (the red one, too), and the capri leggings—all 20% off with YAYA26 at checkout.
There’s also: A 50% off curated sale selection at MKDT Studio; 60% off at Intimissimi from lacy balconettes to microfiber bandeaus; a big summer sale at Vaquera, especially favoring accessories like the lace Chantal hat; a rare Officina del Poggio sale with 30% off pieces like the croc-embossed obi wrap belt; 20% off at J.Hannah jewelry, including certain limited-edition pieces from the JH Editions collection; and early access to the Kamperett private sale, including jade organza pieces like the Anemoia blouse.
Home sales
The Gardenheir home sale is a chief destination for supplies and all you’d need to look fab while using it. There are brass lamps for indoor gardens, gardening smocks, and even botanical bodycare, like the Wonder Valley hinoki body oil.
