YOUR DIGITAL STYLIST AND NEW BFF
FROM MALIBU 2 PARIS, WE'VE GOT YOU COVERED
Picture tender green shoots underfoot, a cotton–linen dress catching the first warm breeze, and a wicker basket filling with market blooms—that’s the energy DÔEN’s Spring 2025 edit delivers. Curated by Sky, these five field-ready pieces glide from coastal wanders to farmers market mornings without missing a beat.
After months wrapped in heavy knits, we're craving fabrics that breathe. Linen’s airy weave keeps you cool; cotton’s softness makes every piece picnic-friendly. DÔEN’s neutral “Salt” palette slips effortlessly beside raffia accessories, vintage denim, or a just-picked bouquet—no outfit overthinking required.
This is the set of the season. The thin strappy bralette-inspired top paired with a long and oh so flattering skirt is the prettiest outfit to be in. Crafted in a breathable ramie-linen blend, it’s sheer enough for salt-air days yet polished for brunch. Pair it with sandals from The Row (or their Amazon dupes) or, in true DÔEN style, just go barefoot and feel the grass or sand in your toes.
Soft organic-cotton voile, scalloped lace trim, and pintuck clusters give Frederica its romantic swing. The slightly cropped silhouette tucks perfectly into high-rise denim, which is what I'm reaching for as an everyday look. Or you can take my boho chic route and style it as I did with a drapey long cream skirt and knee-high black boots. Bonus points if they are rain boots and you can run through the mud in the English countryside. But like I said: bonus points.
Cut in airy organic-cotton voile, Sofia marries a collar-bone-skimming scoop neckline (finished with a sweet tie) to short puff sleeves and a fitted bodice that releases into an ankle-grazing, bias-cut skirt. The result feels vintage-ladylike yet low-maintenance. It's versatile and can be worn to brunch or errands in the city; regularly $248, it lands squarely in the “it's good quality” zone without tipping into guilty purchasing.
Whisper-thin organic-cotton voile, a smocked bodice, flutter sleeves, and an ankle-grazing skirt that floats like a sea breeze. A functional tie at the waist customizes the fit from barefoot beach walks to gallery openings. Very wellness-loving, moon juice buying, off-duty Victoria's Secret angel approved.
DÔEN’s spring edit is more than pretty—it’s a ready-made capsule for warm-weather wandering. Each linen-cotton piece softens with every wear, carrying you from first lilacs to high-summer golden hour—no dry-cleaning drama required.
Pro tip: grab your picks while the Mother's Day sale pricing still sings; sizes are disappearing faster than the last bouquet at the flower stall.
I’m going to start off by saying that if you told me last year that polka dots would be back in trend, I probably would have giggled. But ever since Belle the Label (@bellethelabel) released the Globo Jacket, I have been fascinated ever since. So why do they matter now?
Polka dots have graced my Pinterest feed, spotted on skirts, dresses, and tops, paired with bold colours. Brands like Susamusa London, Belle the Label, Reformation, and Sezane have no doubt proven polka dots to be a versatile, stylish, and timeless design. Designers like Jaquemus and Acne Studios have embraced the pattern in their Spring/Summer 2025 collections, showcasing it in new ways that blend vintage appeal with modern flair:
So, how can you welcome this into your wardrobe?
Let’s take a look at my Pinterest feed:
When looking for graduation dresses, I never imagined they'd be perfect for such a special occasion. I’m loving how the pattern brings a playful and sophisticated touch to formal wear.
I’ve found some stunning dresses that balance elegance with fun, like a white polka dot midi dress that would be perfect for a warm ceremony. The fact that polka dots can make a statement while still feeling classic and celebratory makes them a fantastic choice for marking such an important milestone.
When wearing a bold polka dot piece, pair it with a solid colour like blue or red to avoid overwhelming your outfit. This creates a perfect balance while letting the polka dots become the statement.
For a sophisticated take, wear an entire polka dot outfit in one colour, like black or navy blue. This makes the outfit look sleek and modern while still giving off that classic retro vibe.
This gorgeous and versatile pattern is yet to grace the Italian beaches, French cafés, and everything in between, and I am so excited to see how it unfolds this season. Ready to bring this into your wardrobe?
We’re putting away our Uggs and Aritiza puffer coats and trading them in for tank tops and our beloved sandals that have been tucked away in the back of our closets. Warm weather is officially on its way and I’m here to give you a bit of inspiration so by the time our weather apps say 65 degrees and sunny, you’ll be fully prepared. No need to be rummaging around in your draws for those cut off shorts we swear were there last April or paying overnight shipping for our spring wardrobe to come in time.
I’ve compiled a mix of outfit inspiration to get you through the most difficult time in fashion–the winter to spring transition. As a New England girl, this time of year is especially tricky when it comes to wardrobe choices. One day I’m blessed with sunshine on my face and excitedly throwing on a Realisation Par mini dress paired with a cardigan and the next I’m in the kitchen running late to school because I said good riddance to my Uggs and puffer coat a bit too soon and now it's freezing outside again. Wherever you’re reading this article, it’s always best to have a wardrobe fully prepared for the new season ahead!
A crucial and staple outfit, but this spring let’s mix it up. I love a white tank, and this lace one seen on the model below is perfect. To replicate this look, try Free People’s Forevermore Tank.
Lila Moss rocks the casual springtime look. Her low-rise boyfriend jeans paired with the sweater thrown over her shoulders make this the perfect winter-to-spring transition outfit. It’s the go-to outfit for class or enjoying a sunny afternoon with friends.
I’m obsessed with mini dresses and throwing something a little looser over the shoulders. From a trench coat to a casual blazer, it gives such a sleek and effortless look. This is the perfect out-to-dinner look. Because it’s not warm enough yet to ditch the layers, this out embraces it. But you can just as easily ditch it at the coat rack.
Biker Shorts seemed to be all the rage a few years ago, and honestly…I hated them. They were cute for the gym or a Whole Foods run, but in general, I couldn’t find a way to style them that I really loved. But of course, Devon Lee Carlson has a way. Pairing these black biker shorts with a cute t-shirt is perfect for those warm spring days that are on our way! If you're a fan of the babydoll tops, that could work here, but I’m a fan of how Devon went for a more loose and casual top. I would wear this outfit just chilling with my friends, or even laying in the backyard getting a pre-tan since it shows a good amount of skin to help you get sun kissed. I also think using the same solid colors makes this look more classy and presentable, compared to last year when it was bright colorful biker shorts mixed with a button down (no offense to Hailey Bieber)!
Hi angels! These are my highly recommended skin care products, which I have personally used and tested. I thought I’d give you my ultimate favourites, which I've discovered through the years. And with skincare, less is more.
Embrace your beauty,
XOXO JG
Best light cleanser for very sensitive/acne-prone skin.
This exfoliating cleanser is my absolute holy grail; I would recommend this product for all skin types, leaving you with a thoroughly cleansed face. A plus about this product is that it doesn’t strip your skin. I personally have combination/dry skin, and this has been my rebuy for years.
Best oil cleanser for makeup lovers and all skin types.
Leaves skin feeling smoother and suppler, and overall evens out skin issues.
Best serum for Dark Spots/Uneven Skin Tone.
*A note from Sky: "Judith even influenced me to buy this serum."
This product has genuinely gotten rid of pimples within a night or two. I strongly recommend this product.
100% black Jamaican castor oil has so many benefits. My routine with this product is to brush on lashes 4 times a week for lash strength and more volume, and it has genuinely helped my lashes become more voluminous and thick in the past few months. I highly recommend an organic castor oil that has a maximum of 3 ingredients. I personally don’t buy into the whole lash serum product trend and believe in natural remedies. Not only your lashe,s but if you have severely dry skin moments, you can put some on that dry patch, you’ll instantly notice a difference in a few nights.
Best for all skin types and pairs well if you use a vitamin C/ brightening serum. This product is formulated perfectly, leaving you with a smooth finish with no white cast.
It's officially spring! It's my favorite season, and rightly so, from the flowers to the colors to the perfect temperatures to make the perfect outfits. It's the best time of year to pair silk with Carhartt and stir up some cute looks. This year's change is in the air, and my mood board is looking a little different. However, I'm loving this year's spring trends, like The Row's jelly shoes or boho's revival of suede. It's a cowboy meets elementary art class meets Rodeo Drive vegan spring. Shop some trends and get some inspo.
The air in New York buzzed with anticipation as Calvin Klein staged its long-awaited return to the runway, unveiling the Fall 2025 collection to a crowd of fashion insiders, celebrities, and industry power players. After a six-year hiatus from the traditional show format, the American fashion house proved that its presence in the high-fashion landscape remains as formidable as ever.
Under the creative direction of Veronica Leoni, Calvin Klein's latest offering revisited its minimalist heritage while pushing the boundaries of modern tailoring and sensual sophistication. The venue, 205 West 39th Street, was thick with nostalgia and excitement as Calvin Klein himself, now 82, greeted longtime friends like Kate Moss and Christy Turlington, marking a momentous homecoming for the brand.
Leoni, a 41-year-old Italian designer with experience at Jil Sander, Phoebe Philo’s Céline, and The Row, took a refined, instinctive approach to the collection, avoiding an overt reliance on archival pieces. Instead, she explored a cinematic and real-world 24/7 wardrobe, blending sharp tailoring with effortless, everyday essentials.
The show opened with a sleek and simple all-black long-sleeve dress paired with black flats and thin-framed glasses, a direct nod to Calvin Klein’s iconic 1990s aesthetic.
The sensuality that has long defined the brand was present but subtly reimagined. The final looks—voluminous draped dresses and black fitted suits and coats—offered a softer yet structured approach to elegance. The CK One bottle-shaped evening bags added a clever, nostalgic touch, proving Leoni’s knack for cult objects.
One of the most compelling aspects of Leoni’s debut was her exploration of proportion and silhouette. She reintroduced skinny tailoring, an unexpected but refreshing counterpoint to the oversized shapes that have dominated recent seasons. "The skinny silhouette—it was very interesting for me, and quite refreshing compared to what I was coming from," Leoni said, hinting at a sharp, cropped knee-length look that may define the next era of Calvin Klein.
What previous creative directors of Calvin Klein have struggled with—finding the balance between minimalism and sensuality—Leoni approached with thoughtful precision. While the collection didn’t lean heavily into overt sex appeal, it raised the pulse in a way that felt fresh and modern.
Calvin Klein himself weighed in after the show, telling a fellow reporter, "For a start, it’s pretty extraordinary." With this strong debut, Veronica Leoni not only honored the brand’s legacy but also hinted at a compelling new direction—one that respects Klein’s original vision while pushing it forward into a new era of effortless, intelligent dressing.
Dark circles. Stinging eyes from exhaustion. Feeling so nasty, it rivals your worst hangovers. Whether you’ve only been overseas once or are a frequent flyer, plane travel is an effort that often leaves us depleted. As a TIGG investigator and writer, I have since discovered that there IS a way to bypass this gross feeling and land refreshed, ready to start your holiday in style. Take note, girls, this is a good one.
Yes, that Mac and Three Cheese is unreal, but I vote to avoid this, especially when flying in the evening. Rich food on planes can cause stomach upset, difficulty sleeping, and, worst of all, unhappy skin (now we know why plane breakouts hit so differently). Stick to healthy, simple foods and snacks, such as apples with peanut butter, muesli bars, or yoghurt.
Whilst watching movie after movie fills in time, it can derail your body’s sleep plans up in the air. The brain’s exposure to blue light disrupts the circadian rhythm and prevents the hormone melatonin from being released to initiate sleep. Blue light glasses are super effective at maintaining healthy sleep patterns and are a great long-term investment.
Also, make sure you switch to non-digital entertainment (like reading or listening to music) at least an hour before you plan to take your beauty sleep whilst en route.
Before you plan on sleeping, have a clean face. Remove the makeup with makeup wipes to feel fresh and ready to sleep. Irritation from sleeping in makeup can cause acne and general face puffiness, all barriers to that fresh-faced arrival.
Air on planes is sooo dry, so don’t forget to replenish your skin. I personally love using my favorite toner and moisturizer combined with a facial oil, followed by under-eye gels, to prevent puffiness.
Keeping skin in mind, we cannot neglect the lips! Investing in a really good lip balm or mask with proper ingredients is my saving grace. For flights, I can’t go past the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask.
The worst thing when flying is feeling uncomfortable. When traveling with a larger carry-on, I love to bring a spare pair of socks (I’m obsessed with Alo’s) and pants to change into. This removes the feeling that the days are melting into one another!
I cannot stress enough how much a bathroom freshen-up can change the game. Bring along the following essentials for a fresh flight:
The power of even a little bit of makeup before landing is so real. TIGG recommends a glowy base with a touch of natural contour and blush alongside some concealer. Brow gel is also life-saving to appear polished, with products such as Glossier’s Boybrow staying through all turbulence.
So now you’re all set, girls, for an enjoyable flight that will set you up in style when you land!
Until next time, lovelies xx

Currently obsessed with anything and everything fur, especially a chic fur coat/vest for layering (writing this in a cafe with a fur vest on to be so on theme lol). I personally thrift most of my unique pieces in general, and all my fur I’ve bought second hand, whether it's faux or real. Fur brings a unique layering piece into your winter wardrobe bringing out a new texture to your basic warm garments. Ditch the puffer and try some fur!
I’ve been absolutely obsessed with chunky statement piece jewelry to really uplift your outfit. Since you're covered up in warm undergarments, the outfit could be pretty underwhelming, even with some layering. Adding your signature statement piece necklace and or a few rings and some earrings will help. I get some of my jewelry locally made or from small businesses on Etsy; they have the most unique pieces. But a big brand will work perfectly!
Who says you can’t look cute going out whilst still being warm? I recommend layering a basic bralette or to fancy it up go lacey, layered with a sheer/mesh like long sleeve shirt is the perfect going out fit. I recommend bra shopping from Skims, Free People, La Vie En Rose, and Victoria's Secret. As for the sheer top, Intimissimi is an amazing brand for you European girl bloggers, and The Gap, Dynamite, and Aritzia for Canadian/US shoppers.
Isabel Marant Beckett. These wedges have risen from 2012 again, and I’m in love! They come in endless designs, and you can even find different brands with the similar iconic Marant look. These wedges are absolutely perfect; you can dress them up and down while keeping them warm.
To spice up the texture of your outfit, go for some tights with a micro skirt/shorts. Perfect again for dressing up or down (ex., Uggs or Heels).
With all these chic pieces and advice I've shared, it doesn't mean you have to spend a fortune on anything. Second hand is your best option, you can find the most unique pieces there. And not just in person; my favorite thrift apps are Grailed, Depop, Poshmark, and eBay. For the European angels out there, Vinted is golden! Speaking of thrifting, I'm off to the thrift right now to find some fur pieces! I hope you enjoyed your winter wardrobe advice, angels.

Crafted in Australia with organic oils, Aiya is a hair oil brand founded by Claire (@claire___claire__ on Instagram) with an aim to promote hair growth and rejuvenation. Having admired Claire's incredible style for some time, I was honoured to have the opportunity to interview her and her story behind her brand and the inspiration driving the journey.
Connecting from across the globe, I spoke with Claire about her path to the creation of Aiya, and her experiences as a young business owner.
Hi! I’m Claire, a small business owner and content creator in my early 20s, based on the lovely east coast of Australia, where I grew up. I recently transitioned from studying nursing full-time and working a part-time job at a fashion label to running my own business and growing my social media presence, especially on TikTok. While I enjoyed parts of nursing, I realized during my studies that I wasn’t fulfilling my creative potential. I had been drawn to nursing for years, partly because it felt like the "safe" financial choice, but when I finished studying, deep down, I knew I craved something different. The idea for Aiya actually came from my own needs. I couldn’t find hair products I loved, so I decided to make my own! My partner also owns his own business, and I just saw how good
that lifestyle is- it really motivated me to create that for myself. Starting Aiya has been incredibly rewarding, bringing me closer to the lifestyle I’ve always wanted—one that aligns with my values and gives me the freedom to create and do things at my own pace!
To be honest, the most special thing about Aiya is that it’s entirely me. Every single aspect of the brand- design, social media, and the website—has been created by me. Although it’s still early days, and there are definitely areas in the business to improve, I’m happy to take my time and make sure I’m putting my time and money into the right places. I wanted to make sure I was truly happy with how everything looked and felt rather than rushing the process. Having an all natural product and simplicity were my goals, and I’m so proud of how it turned out—especially the packaging, I love it so much! I feel very connected to the brand, especially in the fact that it’s not mass-produced or
impersonal; it’s small-batch, thoughtfully made, mixed, and bottled all by me, and rooted in a genuine desire to make something nice for others to have. Honestly, everytime someone makes a purchase I want to cry!
The hardest part of starting my business was realizing who my true supporters were among my friends and family. When you step into something a bit different or outside the norm (like starting a business or sharing yourself online), it becomes clear who’s genuinely in your corner. It was a bit of a shock to see that some people I thought would support me didn’t. That said, this experience has been a blessing in disguise. I’ve formed so many new connections with wonderful, supportive people who are genuinely happy for me and want to see me succeed. It’s shown me where to focus my energy and who truly deserves it. Some people are so beautifully kind and encouraging, and I’m endlessly grateful for them- they know who they are!
To trust myself and my vision!! It’s easy to feel pressured by others’ opinions or trends, but
staying true to what feels authentic has made Aiya special.
I’ve also learned the importance of patience. Building something meaningful takes time, and rushing rarely leads to something you’re 100% happy with. I’ve realized how powerful community and connection are. The love and support from people who truly believe in me and my brand have been such a gift. It’s a reminder to surround yourself with people who uplift you and let go of those who don’t. This has been the most liberating thing! I’ve honestly never felt more at peace.
I’d tell them to focus on building a brand that’s wholeheartedly YOU. My personal goal is to keep Aiya small and manageable, a brand I can cherish forever without letting it become something overwhelming. I want to create products I genuinely love, and if that resonates with others, that’s amazing!
So, my advice would be to find something you’re passionate about, trust your own vision, and don’t worry about what anyone else thinks. I didn’t tell anyone about my brand (except my partner) until the product was finished. It might sound a bit extreme (and some people definitely didn't like that I did that), but it allowed me to create something I was proud of, free from outside opinions.
At the end of the day, this is your life, and you deserve to live it the way you want. I find it so much easier to put everything I have into a brand that I’m truly passionate about. Trusting myself throughout the entire process has been incredibly empowering, and I think others would benefit from doing the same. My advice is to go for it! Don’t rush and trust yourself xx
