Chic elevated tees, my go-to leggings, cozy blankets and more!
Happy weekend!! Wishing a joyful Passover and a Happy Easter to all who celebrate. As always, I’ve rounded up a few favorite things from the week and hope they spark a little inspiration for you as well!

AN ELEVATED TEE
You all know I love a uniform: ballet flats, jeans, and either a cozy sweater or a simple tee. But sometimes, a basic cotton t-shirt just doesn’t feel pulled together enough. That’s where my favorite thin knits come in: I swear by Theory’s Regal Wool sweaters.
You have seen me wear them time and time again.
I own multiple colors in both the short-sleeve and long-sleeve styles. (I’m actually wearing the navy short-sleeve today as I type this.)
These sweaters are incredibly soft, lightweight, and surprisingly wrinkle-resistant—perfect for travel or everyday wear. Theory describes their Regal Wool as a fine-gauge merino from Australia, spun and knit in Italy. Despite being 100% wool, they are not scratchy—they just feel like a really soft tee.
Sizing Note: These run fitted. I size up from my usual XL to an XXL for a slightly looser, more comfortable fit — still tailored through the arms, but loose on my waist.
Similar Option: The Ben styles from La Ligne have a similar feel and cut. I own a grey Ben Cardigan in XL— it’s soft and lightweight too but made from a silk/wool/cashmere blend.
COZY AT HOME
I love to curl up on the sofa (with Fitz) and watch a new TV show any night that I have dinner at home.
If you have not watched The Pitt on HBO yet, you are missing out; it is hands down one of my favorite shows lately. I need to figure out what my next show is going to be…!
I am usually in my favorite pjs and then I also like to get cozy with a blanket.
Chappy Wrap just sent me one of their Lightweight Blankets, and wow, it is winning me over (Fitz loves it too!) I love how it is super soft and cozy, but also not too heavy. Bonus points that it is also machine washable!

Another option: My other go-to blanket is from Lands Down Under; these have a bit of a fancier look than Chappy Wrap and I appreciate the solid colored options but on the other hand, I have to get these dry cleaned…
PERFECT LEGGINGS
I start basically every day in leggings - be it for walking Fitz, a workout or simply running errands. Then later in the morning, I get ‘dressed’ for the day in more of a real outfit.
These are my go-to leggings for most mornings; I think I own 5+ pairs that I cycle through. I have tried ALL the fancier versions, but I always come back to these (and the $32 price point doesn’t hurt).
I would say these leggings are soft and comfortable but they don’t suck you in or have any shapewear type effect.
Sizing note: I take my true size XL. If you are plus-size, here is a link to the plus-size version.
If you want leggings that will hold you in a bit more, I would suggest these leggings from Spanx. As you would expect from Spanx, these really SUCK you in and smooth everything out!
Sizing note: I think these run a touch small, so I size up one size to a 1X in these.

I have used previous Neiman’s gift card events like this to buy bigger items, like a new pair of Manolos!
My new favorite leather summer sandal from Manolo is included in the event. (I find these run big; maybe size down a half size.)
INSTAGRAM RECAP
Elevated desk notebooks from Simplified — a weekly notepad and elevated legal notepads
An amazingly comfortable bra from Eby (I wear my true size, XL)
A casual work-from-home outfit of Agolde Jeans (I wear my bigger jean size) and a tan cashmere cardigan (I sized up to a XXL)
I wore my new blue Donni Sweatshirt a few times throughout the week. (This runs oversized, I took my true size (XL) and its still oversized/big on me.)
I highlighted my two favorite swimsuits:
this sculpting style from Stylest (20% with code SPRINGBREAK through Sunday) — I wear my true size XL
this style from Eres - I wear size FR48
I wear these silicone nipple covers with this suit because it is un-lined.
For the last year, this Westman mascara has been my go-to favorite but now this Sarah Creal mascara is giving it a run for its money. Both get my seal of approval!
Thank you for the Passover wishes, Nan!
