It’s Official: I’ve Perfected the Art of the Spring Wish List

Friends! What a week we had at Marie Claire. In case you missed it, we launched our Motherhood Issue, starring the model, mogul, and mother-to-three Ashley Graham. In the issue, not only will you find stories that tackle the ever changing culture around motherhood (The Big Business of Breastfeeding, Why Maternity Clothes Just Don't Deliver) but you also meet ten women who are reshaping the conversations we have about motherhood: the Power Moms class of 2026. To celebrate, I co-hosted our annual Power Moms dinner with Reshma Sujani, the CEO of Moms First, a nonprofit fighting for the structural changes women need and deserve, at the Ambassadors Clubhouse. The night was filled with laughter, good tears, camaraderie, some of the best North Indian food New York has to offer, and maybe one too many glasses of wine. But you guys know how I get down. We love a celebration of powerful women!

So this week’s newsletter, written through slightly bleary eyes, is simple: everything I want to buy this spring and summer! Because listen, I’m getting married, going to work, hopefully doing a bit of traveling, and really looking forward to sunny days ahead. Let’s get into it.

BRIGHT WHITE

I’m not going to lie, I’ve got bachelorette parties on the brain: mine, Corporate Natalie’s, Acquired Style’s…but really mostly mine. My friends are handling all the planning, which leaves me plenty of time to consider what I’ll wear.

The Burberry x Hunza G collaboration got me. The white is ideal for bridal, but isn’t too trendy that I won't wear it summer after summer. Perfect for an afternoon at a beach club!

MIAMI METHOD DRESSING

We’re heading down to Miami, which I always take as an opportunity to really amp up the heat outfit-wise. I love dressing for the city I’m visiting—it’s like red carpet method dressing, but for fashion girls.

SPRING BACK TO WORK

When I’m not thinking about wedding or bachelorette stuff, I’m pre-planning what I want to wear to the office. It’s a tricky time to get dressed as we all know: hot as hell outside, cold AF inside. So during this time, I find myself relying on lighter fabrics and not-quite-long/ not-quite-short silhouettes—Bermuda shorts, knee-length skirts, linen button downs—to see me through.

ESSENTIAL ACCESSORIES

This is also a time when I love to amp up what stylists often call extras—jewelry, hats, layering pieces, other accessories—the exclamation points on one’s look.
