WARDROBE STAPLE: Right now it is the Caroline jean in cropped white denim. I also can’t live without the Isabelle cashmere wrap in camel.

SUMMER MUST HAVE: The Rachel cotton tank in white. It is gently ribbed, has a nice slim fit and is longer than most tanks. The Avery striped lightweight cashmere boatneck in navy/white is perfect for cooler summer days.

CURRENTLY READING: Van Gogh The Life. It was a gift from my friend Jelena and signed by the authors, Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith. I’m also reading another incredible book, The Victory Lab by Sasha Issenberg, which explores the inner workings of political campaigns.

SUMMER TRAVEL DESTINATION: Sunset Beach, Shelter Island. The hotel is dog friendly so I will bring my Maltese, Joey.
