this summer, I’m leaning into understated elegance with a look that’s equal parts sharp and relaxed. it all starts with the uniqlo slim-fit oxford shirt — crisp, tailored, and endlessly versatile. whether tucked or left undone, it gives that borrowed-from-the-boys feel while remaining effortlessly polished.
to cinch the silhouette, the celine medium triomphe belt in taurillon leather adds structure with a quiet touch of luxury. on my feet? alaïa’s cube 75 suede wedge thong sandals — the unexpected height and sculptural heel strike the perfect balance between minimalism and architectural edge.

but what truly elevates this look is the jewelry. I’m embracing the “ringscape” trend — the art of stacking mixed metals, diamonds, and textures across fingers. my current favorites include the bold dame ring, the timeless ring starter 10 diamond, and a delicate solitaire diamond ring in 18k gold. for my little finger, a vintage-style ring - jose ring - that never leaves my finger. together, they tell a story of modern femininity — bold yet refined.
to complete the ensemble, the celine phantom bag is the ultimate comeback piece. recently revived (and rightfully so), this cult favorite blends form and function with its slouchy silhouette and luxurious leather. it’s quiet luxury at its best, and reminds us it’s a reminder that timeless always wins.
this look? a masterclass in relaxed sophistication.
