there’s something magical about summer evenings — golden hour light, open-air dinners, and the perfect excuse to dress up. when choosing the right bag for an early evening dinner, I always go for elegance with a touch of personality. my top pick? the chanel 2015–2016 mini rectangular classic velvet bag. it’s timeless, compact, and adds a rich texture to any look.
to complement the look, the khaite x oliver peoples 1989C aviator sunglasses are a must. with their sleek, retro-inspired shape, they transition beautifully from day to dusk while keeping the outfit polished.

before heading out, I prep my skin with la mer’s the treatment lotion — it leaves my skin refreshed, luminous, and makeup-ready in seconds.
for jewelry, less is more. I love the subtle drama of the gala earrings — sculptural, elegant, and the perfect finishing touch for a romantic dinner or a stylish night out with friends.
a well-chosen evening bag isn’t just an accessory — it sets the tone for the night.
