Eek such a fab of Justine’s so I loved seeing you spotlight her! Her approach to dressing herself is how I (want) to be as well with dressing the same regardless of the days’ agenda!

I'm with you on that one! Her approach to dressing comfortably in any setting was one of my take-aways, too. x

I loved this and love Justine (yay Taiwanese Americans!) her style is so effortlessly cool. Also serial repeater of the Marin sweater—one of my most worn buys of the year. Gotta get me some of those silky shorts!

What a fantastic read, Maria!

I stumbled upon Justine's IG and subscribed to her Substack last August. Her effortless style was so refreshing. I even bought my first button down in years after she shared a striped one from JCrew (men’s relaxed, broken-in oxford with a monogram!!!) Seeing how elegantly and accessibly she styled it made me think, "I can pull this off too."

I loved learning more about Justine’s background and approach to life. Thanks so much for interviewing her!!

Thanks so much, Natalia! Appreciate you reading! Love that story and agree with you about Justine's style. I often feel inspired by what she wears, too! Now, I might have to go searching for that JCrew button down you mentioned...
