This was great and you should do this regularly. I’m so glad to see women who work in all sorts of industries doing fashion things and adapting their fashion needs to their various business and life needs. It feels like this is a reality for millions of us women but for so long fashion was by and for fashion people and ladies who lunch, or, later, written about mostly by people who didn’t work outside the home. There’s a place for all of us, but this move into long form and other types of content by women with full time careers outside of fashion is such a welcome breath of fresh air. I just love your approach to fashion and packing for trips. I can see why you’re a department leader. I feel so inspired by your taste and your delivery!
Danielle, thank you so much. This means a lot and I am so grateful for your support. You put it perfectly: fashion should reflect the realities of women who are juggling work, travel, ambition, and personal style all at once. For so long, those conversations felt either too aspirational or too detached from real life. I'm trying to bridge that gap (even for just myself), so hearing this really affirms why it's worth showing up and sharing. So glad it resonated. Your support encourages me to keep doing more like this. Appreciate you being there!
You know what's more incredible than your packing formula? Your ability to speak super sharp without a single filler word. None. Nada. I WANT TO SPEAK LIKE YOU.
Usha!! This truly means the world. It’s a lifelong quest. trying to find clarity in how I speak, so hearing this reflected back is a huge gift. I’m so touched and more inspired to keep showing up with intention. Let’s both keep finding our sharp.
I loved this video! I have a holiday in July and think I will be able to use your method. Agree with the other comments that your speaking style is so elegant - I often turn off videos where the speaker uses filler words. Thank you for sharing your creativity and ideas with us
Thanks so much, Anna! So glad the video resonated and yay for a July holiday! Hope the method comes in handy. Do let me know please. 🙏🏽 And your note about my speaking style truly made my day. Appreciate you watching and sharing such kind words!
Excellent video! Thank you so much! You are a superb packer. I very much related to your technique as I never pack outfits, only mix 'n match pieces and I wear them according to mood. Your descriptions and strategy are so thoughtful and succinct. Oh, and you've got me thinking about that trench.
Packing twins! Mood-based packing is the only way I stay sane (and stylish) on the road. Thrilled we’re on the same page. And if that trench is calling your name, I fully support answering (it truly is exceptional). Thanks for such a kind, thoughtful note!
I did! The dot dress. I tried it on in LA and finally bought it in NYC. Thank you so much for encouraging me to do the live. And OMG can we do one together?? Let’s do it.
Finally had time to sit down and savor this!! I loveddddd this so much. You’re so thoughtful and articulate and have such an amazing collection. I love all your pieces and it really emphasizes how I need to stop buying the same thing…
I need to know where that shoulder padded long sleeve top is from please?! It’s amazing!!

Asta, you went Tibi shopping 😃
