The Pockets Project

What to wear when invited to the iconic Central Park Women’s Committee Hat Luncheon? 👒 The Bonbon in Peony Pink felt like the perfect spring vibe, and I added extra length to the bottom to give it a more elevated look. While I could fit everything in my pockets (aka didn’t really need to bring a purse), this embroidered clutch used to belong to my Southern grandmother so it seemed fitting for the occasion. It also nicely connected the gold shoes with the black ostrich feather headpiece by ✨
Should I make some Bonbon dresses in this longer length?

BYOF in the Brie dress 💖

Throwback to our collab with for the Brie’s launch in 2023. Rocking it with sneakers and baseball cap! ❤️
📷:

Three more days to preorder your Brie dress! 🌸 This style is perfect for summer picnics, bike rides, birthday parties, and all of your warm weather jaunts.

It’s here!! The Brie originally came in Poppy Red and Black when it launched, and it’s been a beloved style. If you missed either color the first time around, both of these colors are now available for preorder, along with the new Lilac Pink!

If you have your heart on a specific color, now is your time to snag it as we only have enough fabric to make 18 in Lilac Pink, 27 in Poppy Red, and 15 in Black. Preorders will run through this Saturday, April 11 (or until they sell out!). 

All dresses will ship by April 20, so you can enjoy them throughout the rest of spring and all summer long ☀️

New color, who dis? 🌸 Super excited to share a sneak peek of the new spring color, Lilac Pink, launching do pre-order TOMORROW at 8pm ET. It’s been over a year since we’ve launched anything new because I’ve been having a lot of fun at my real job. But I’ve been keeping a secret: I made a sample Brie dress in Lilac Pink back in 2023 and have been wearing it ever since. It was supposed to stay a sample, but after the umpteenth compliment, I realized it’s too good not to share. Enjoy this compilation of photos showing me wearing the sample abroad in Italy, Panama, and Poland, and at home from dinner parties to horse races to my mother’s 75th birthday bash 🩷

Weather forecast in NYC next week is a high of 77F! Who’s ready for short sleeve weather? 🙋🏻‍♀️

Huge thank you to for such a thoughtful interview about my quest for deep pockets. From the women of the Rational Dress Society in the late 1800s who advocated for practical garments to designers like Claire McCardell in the 1940s/50s who embraced pockets, we all know that comfortable, functional, and fashionable clothing is where it’s at.

It’s a full circle moment to be featured in the BDH as that’s where I started my first business that prioritized functional fashion: Dear Kate, a line of high-tech period underwear (perhaps a little ahead of its time). Brown had a culture that was wildly supportive of independent thinking, which I feel like we carry with us as alums forever and always.

Happy Spring! Throwing it back to Stockholm with .lasio 🌸 She’s in the navy Hazelnut dress—proving that you can wander through Rosendals Garden without a purse, because “holding things” is so last season. 🇸🇪 Pockets: 1. Purses: 0.
