Right now, we’re sleep training Henry, so my routine is totally up to him! I always include a 30-minute wind-down period before I actually get in bed: no phone, dimmer lights, no loud music or TV. Usually I’ll wash my face, fold any clothes, tidy up— it’s a quiet time that I crave and a great transition into sleeping. If I just jump straight into bed after doing something stimulating like eating dinner or watching a movie, it’ll take way too long for me to actually fall asleep, so the wind-down period is very needed!

How would you describe your personal style?
MINI |
Super feminine and a little quirky. I love embellishments like lace, embroidery and feathers, and I love to combine unexpected patterns and colors. Recently I’ve been into pastel socks with my less-than-practical collection of velvet shoes! I like to have fun with clothing. I hate feeling like my outfit is boring.

Where do you like to shop?
I’m a big online person! I like Moda Operandi and Net-A-Porter, and I’m very into direct-to-consumer brands like La Ligne. For Henry, I’m obsessed with Maisonette and The Tot. Very excited to try Rockets of Awesome for him, too! For in-person shopping, it doesn’t get better than my friend Claire’s store Fivestory on the Upper East Side.

She has the absolute best taste and the store is so pretty— you just want to move in! Has your style changed at all since becoming a mom?

If anything, I have more fun with clothing since I’m so excited to be able to wear all my old clothes again! I definitely am always just a little bit overdressed wherever I go.

What does your skincare and beauty routine look like?
MINI |
I’m obsessed with the brand Drunk Elephant and I’m also really into Dr. Jart+ moisturizing masks. I never leave the house without sunscreen. My favorite is by my dermatologist, Dr. Gross. I have super dry, sensitive skin, so once I find a product that works, I stick to it! For makeup, I’m super pale and I like to be even paler than I am, so I’m always on the lookout for pale makeup. Right now, I’m loving Koh Gen Do and Nars Chantilly Lace.

What does a typical day look like right now? What time do you get up?
MINI |
Henry is five months old, so no day is really typical right now. He’s just getting adjusted to a real schedule, and Teddy and I are trying to figure out how best to plan our work days so that we get to spend some family time every day. What we aim for is to wake up
