Spring is officially here, which means it’s time for a wardrobe reset. I’m breaking down the 10 pieces you actually need for spring whether you’re shopping your closet or investing in a few key pieces.

I’ve always found spring to be the hardest season to get dressed for. It’s that in-between moment where your winter pieces feel too heavy, but it’s not quite summer either, so figuring out what actually works can be hard. From the perfect work pant to the return of the barn jacket, pencil skirts, and cropped denim, these are the staples, trends, and styling shifts that will make getting dressed this season so much easier. We’re also talking about how to transition your wardrobe from winter to spring, why fabric matters more than you think, and how to bring more personality into your everyday outfits.

This episode is your guide to refreshing your closet without overconsuming, focusing on pieces you’ll actually wear and style on repeat.

Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy is everywhere again but the conversation around her style often misses what actually made it so compelling in the first place.

I sit down with writer and repeat guest Larissa Mills to talk about the frenzy surrounding CBK right now, from the new Love Story series on FX and Hulu to the endless stream of content promising you can dress like her if you just buy the right boots, coat, or sunglasses. Together, we unpack what people are getting wrong about Carolyn’s style, and why it was never really just about the clothes.

In this conversation, we get into:

• The Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy style revival happening right now
• What people are getting wrong when they try to copy CBK’s look
• What it was actually like to live in New York during the Carolyn era
• Whether Carolyn was seen as a style icon in real time — or became one later
• Why her style felt powerful because of her aura, confidence, and restraint
• How social media and overconsumption have changed the way we approach personal style
• The difference between being inspired by someone’s wardrobe and replicating it
• Why repetition, discernment, and editing are the real keys to great personal style
• How to take inspiration from Carolyn’s wardrobe without losing your own point of view
• The brands, silhouettes, and styling tools we’d use to channel the spirit of CBK in a more personal way
