I love when I discover something I can’t stop reaching for—and that is exactly what May felt like. This month was all about finding those pieces and products that slipped effortlessly into my life and quickly earned permanent status. The kind of finds that take me through summer…and beyond.
And this roundup isn’t just fashion. I found some new skin care and makeup I’m genuinely excited about, picked up a few travel-ready favorites as I get ready for summer adventures, and yes… I may have cooked up a storm thanks to some new pots and pans I’m completely loving.
These are the things that made my May a little easier, prettier, and a lot more fun—and I couldn’t wait to share them with you.

You know I love a piece that earns repeat status—and Brochu Walker always delivers. Their knits have become staples in my wardrobe because they feel elevated without trying too hard. I’m especially drawn to the texture and this beautiful soft neutral tone. Chic, timeless, and endlessly versatile—it goes with everything.
Reformation Stella Satin Coat, $328

Now this is the kind of piece from Reformation that makes me stop scrolling. Clean, elegant, and quietly dramatic, it feels incredibly chic while still being surprisingly wearable. I love when a piece makes a statement without shouting—and this one does exactly that.
Chan Luu Techno Taffeta Pant, $275

There are certain pieces that instantly feel special—and these pants from Chan Luu are one of them. Minimal, elegant, and just dramatic enough, it has that rare ability to feel timeless and modern all at once. And can we talk about the taffeta for a second? It gives a piece beautiful shape and presence while still feeling incredibly sophisticated.
