You know how sometimes you go into your closet and you hate everything you see? That’s how I feel right now except about my taste. I feel kind of sick of my own taste sometimes and sick of the universe of things and brands and stores I operate under, so I’m going to occasionally be reaching out to friends and friends of friends whose taste I love and sharing THEIR snacks here. This week, we’re kicking off with Jordan Foster, who is beautiful, and funny, and has great style, and you probably follow her on Instagram (we’re IG friends, but TBH I hope to solidify that with an IRL hug next time I’m in NYC…LOL), but she’s a stylist AND the Style Director at Favorite Daughter (the massively successful brand that her sisters Sarah & Erin co-founded as well), and it’s Jordan’s knack for styling that brings the pieces to life.
She also has two kids about the same age as mine, so that makes me feel same/same with her even more. Anyway, here are the things she loves right now!
FAVORITE DAUGHTER PANTS
These gauze pants are taking me from the pool to lunch and even to dinner. They are super lightweight but this fabric is substantial enough to make them feel like real pants. I pair mine with the matching oversized button up. Favorite Daughter
FAVORITE DAUGHTER SHIRT DRESS
This crisp cotton shirt dress has become my go to for NYC hot weather. I wear it as a shirt open over a long skirt or jeans but also as a dress. Big plus is it has pockets. Favorite Daughter
DR DIAMOND’S METACINE
As the years go on for me I’m focusing so much more on taking care of my skin and these two products have truly made a noticeable difference. My skin is more even, smooth and has a glassy finish to it! An investment but worth it. Dr Diamond’s Metacine
SARAH CREAL SUNSCREEN
I’m always hunting for a sunscreen that truly protects my skin but also has a tint or glow to it so that it can replace any daytime makeup and this summer I found it with this new sunscreen from Sarah Creal. It has the most gorgeous glowy finish and I don’t miss my concealer when I wear it! Also great packaging and even fits in my mini bags. Sarah Creal
LOEWE BAG
I love a woven bag for summer but it’s hard to find one that is comfortable to wear, holds a lot of stuff, and has a closure so things aren’t falling out non stop. This Loewe woven bucket bag ticks all those boxes. Loewe
EMME PARSONS SANDALS
I’ve been a devoted Emme Parsons fan for years and I love her Susan sandal but it’s not great for a spray tan honestly so I’ve converted to the Susan slide which doesn’t wrap around the ankle but has the same chic, minimalist silhouette. Emme Parsons
TOPOLOGY BOTTLE BAG & PHONE CASE
I came across this brand a couple months ago and now I’m obsessed with anything that incorporates climbing rope. You can mix and match all the straps with all the different bag shapes and they also make the only wearable phone case I’ve ever seen that’s not completely dorky. Everything sells out pretty much immediately so act fast. (Tip, add chalk bag to the phone case for the perfect concert combination.) Topology Bottle Bag & Phone Case & Chalk Bag
JOHANN WOLFF SUNGLASSES
I’ve been wearing Johann Wolff colored lens sunglasses for awhile but recently discovered this new shape. I have them in orange and they make every outfit immediately feel summery and less boring. (Use code JF20 for 20% off) Johann Wolff
ARITZIA SOCKS
One of the questions I get asked most often is “I know this is dumb but what are your socks”...First, that’s not a dumb question it’s a very important one! Socks have become a stress point for anyone over the age of 13 thanks to TikTok and I feel like these crew socks are the answer to our problems. There are dupes out there but I feel like the Aritiza version is still the best. Aritzia
NEW BALANCE 990 V3 ALL NAVY
New Balance 990 v3 are my favorite style of New Balance and this all navy version is so clean and wearable with pretty much all colors of denim and looks amazing with ivories and tans also. You can only buy this color resale and in mens sizing so it’s a very specific purchase but trust me it’s worth it! New Balance
J CREW SKIRT
I have such a hard time finding a sequin skirt that is wearable bc they’re often too see through or uncomfortable but this JCrew skirt has a mini length slip built into it and the whole skirt has a little stretch to it so it’s comfortable. I wear it with everything from a white tee to a denim shirt to a blazer. Great news, it’s currently on sale. J.Crew
BY PARIAH RINGS
By Pariah is making jewelry that I’m not seeing anywhere else and that is hard to say. Their stackable rings and ring sets are my current favorites because they are just so unique yet still very wearable. By Pariah
J.CREW TOP
This J.Crew top is just summer in a piece of clothing. Lightweight and easy to wear with denim shorts for daytime and a silky skirt for nighttime. I have it in white and black and it will be the first thing I pack for summer vacation. Great news, it’s currently on sale. J.Crew
And there we are! Thanks Jordan!!
Your friend,
Laurel
Love your finds Laurel but love that you invited Jordan Foster too! Great list
