Things Worth Buying
a curated edit of clothes, beauty, home, and everything in between.
The Cardigan Worth Buying
A timeless cardigan is hard to find — which is exactly why the Alex Mill Nico Chunky Cardigan has become a forever favorite. With its soft chunky cotton knit, oversized buttons, and perfectly relaxed fit, it’s the kind of layer that works year-round and instantly elevates everything in your closet.
I'm a huge fan of cardigans and wear them year-round. When the weather can't make up its mind, a cardigan is the perfect layering piece for those in-between days when you want warmth without the commitment of a full jacket. I own two Alex Mill cardigans, and they've both become true closet staples.
I first came across the Nico cardigan at one of my favorite shops in Santa Barbara, Jake & Jones. It's the perfect find for that May gray, June gloom weather we experience in SB — made from a chunky cotton knit with dropped shoulders and oversized buttons, it has that effortless, thrown-together look that's somehow always chic. I've worn it over swimsuits, maxi dresses, or just tossed over the shoulders with a white tank, jeans, and flip flops.
The Nico is one of those pieces that's hard to find on sale — so when it happens, it's worth paying attention. Bloomingdale's currently has it marked down 25% for a limited time. Grab it while you can!
White Denim Worth Buying
Memorial Day weekend always feels like the unofficial start of white denim season. From timeless Levi’s 501s to modern barrel and wide-leg styles, these are the white jeans and shorts worth buying right now.
Memorial Day weekend has always felt like the unofficial start of white denim season.
Personally, I’m a believer in white jeans year-round, but there’s something about the Memorial holiday weekend when they feel like the perfect option to wear to a bbq gathering.
Crisp white denim has become a true wardrobe staple. The right pair works well and looks polished with a blazer, a striped sweater, a classic white tee, or oversized button-down.
Stylewise, I am personally drawn to straight-leg, wide-leg, and barrel styles but it is such an individual choice. It’s really up to you and what you feel most confident wearing.
Here's what I think is worth buying right now:
Straight Leg: Levi’s 501
There's a reason the 501 has been around forever. The fit is timeless and they work with everything from loafers to sandals to sneakers. Tonne Goodman, who spent over 20 years at Vogue as Fashion Director and now serves as their Sustainability Editor, has worn these as part of her personal uniform for years. I used to live on the same street as Tonne in the West Village and would spot her in them regularly — and she'd show up to appointments at our office in them too. If they are good enough for Tonne, they are good enough for me!

Favorite Barrel: Zara
My very first post for The Get was about Zara's barrel jeans, so naturally the white version had to make this list.I love this pair because the shape feels modern without looking overly exaggerated.

Favorite Wide-Leg: Agolde & Nili Lotan
The Agolde Ren and Nili Lotan Tribeca Jeans jeans are structured enough to look polished, but relaxed enough to wear casually during the day. I especially love wide-leg white denim paired with minimal sandals, a tank, and cashmere sweater.

Favorite White Denim Shorts: Levi’s & Agolde
Both styles have that slightly vintage, broken-in feel and are easy to wear all summer.
The Beach Chair Worth Buying
The Tommy Bahama beach chair has officially earned cult status for a reason. After years of resisting the island-core aesthetic, I finally bought one — and now completely understand the hype. From thoughtful storage and comfort features to its best-in-class portability, here’s why this beach chair is worth the investment — plus the fashion collaborations I wish the brand would do next.
It’s taken me years to finally say this, but I am now officially a proud owner of a Tommy Bahama beach chair and umbrella.
I resisted for a long time. Not because I doubted the functionality, but because I couldn’t quite get past the tropical “island-core” aesthetic. Still, after a recent beach weekend surrounded by Tommy Bahama chairs, I completely understand why these chairs have become a cult classic.
The chair really does check every box. It’s lightweight (under 8 pounds), comfortable, easy to carry, and thoughtfully designed with all the essentials: backpack straps, multiple storage pockets, an insulated cooler pouch, towel bar, drink holder, detachable pillow, and five reclining positions. There are even higher-seat versions, canopy styles, and deluxe options depending on your preference.
The chair is also the most consistently recommended beach chairs on the market. It has appeared on best-of lists from The New York Times Wirecutter,Travel + Leisure, and New York Magazine, with reviewers praising its durability, portability, comfort, and smart storage features.
That said, I still think there’s a huge missed opportunity in the design department. Tommy Bahama has experimented with collaborations before, including a recent partnership with John Robshaw, but not within the beach chair category itself from what I can tell.
Personally, I would love to see a limited-edition fashion or design collaboration. Imagine beach chairs in iconic prints from Marimekko, Missoni, Farm Rio, or Love Shack Fancy?
Until then, this chair still fully earns its place as a total get.
12 Nail Colors Worth The Get
From sheer pinks to iconic reds and deep vampy tones, these are the timeless nail colors worth saving for your next salon appointment.
Nail trends come and go, but certain shades never lose their appeal. Think of them as the beauty equivalent of a great black blazer or perfectly worn-in denim — timeless, effortless, and always chic.
Enjoying a good mani/pedi has been one of my favorite self-care indulgences since I was in high school and there are a handful of nail colors that continue to stand out season after season. The sheer pinks everyone requests by name, the crisp milky whites that somehow work year-round, the iconic reds that instantly make you feel polished, and the deep vampy shades that always return the minute temperatures drop.
These are the shades that transcend trends because the colors are simply perfect. They consistently look great year-round.
Below, the classic nail shades truly worth The Get.
Light Pink
Soft, sheer pink will never go out of style. Clean, understated, and universally flattering, these are the shades that make nails look polished without trying too hard.
Milky White
The modern neutral. Milky white nails feel fresh, minimal, and quietly luxurious — especially during summer months.
The Get Tip: Layer OPI Funny Bunny with Essie Ballet Slippers for the perfect soft, milky pink manicure.
Classic Red
Nothing feels more timeless than a great red nail. Whether you prefer a bright tomato red or a true classic crimson, these shades never miss.
Deep Red, Brown & Black
Moody nail shades always make a comeback. Rich oxbloods, deep browns, and nearly-black shades add instant sophistication and feel especially chic in the fall and winter.
Recalling all my favorite shades has me thinking about my favorite nail salon in the city…more on that in a future post! xx
The Get Beauty: Claudia Schiffer’s Wellness & Beauty Routine at 55
As I approach a milestone decade next year, I’ve become increasingly interested in the beauty routines of women over 50. Claudia Schiffer’s approach to skincare, wellness, and aging feels refreshingly grounded — centered around consistency, hydration, movement, and timeless beauty rituals.
As I approach a milestone decade next year, I’ve become increasingly interested in learning about the beauty routines of women over 50 — their habits, products, and wellness rituals.
Which brings me to Claudia Schiffer…
Now granted, Claudia is a supermodel, so genetics obviously play a role here. But I still cannot believe she is 55 years old and looks this incredible!!
What I found most interesting while researching her beauty routine over the years is how little it has actually changed. In interviews, she consistently speaks about the same core themes: consistency, natural aging, wellness, and more recently, non-invasive low-level laser therapy (LLLT) devices.
Her Philosophy: Consistency Over Excess
One of the biggest takeaways from Claudia’s beauty philosophy is that she seems deeply committed to maintenance over transformation. Her routine is not built around extremes or complicated 20-step regimens. Instead, it centers around healthy skin, hydration, movement, sleep, and staying consistent.
She has openly shared that she embraces aging naturally and focuses more on feeling healthy and energized than trying to look younger. What also stands out is how often she returns to the same products repeatedly — something I find interesting because it suggests genuine loyalty rather than trend-driven beauty.
The Skincare Products She Swears By
Claudia has consistently referenced Bamford’s nourishing, hydrating skincare products that support the skin barrier rather than aggressively treating it.
Some of the products and brands she uses include:
Bamford Cleansing Balm
A rich cleansing balm she reportedly uses as the first step in her skincare routine. Her overall skincare philosophy leans heavily into gentle cleansing and skin nourishment.
Bamford Refining Exfoliator
Claudia uses this exfoliator regularly as part of maintaining smooth, healthy skin without overdoing active treatments.
Bamford Moisturising Cream
She often mixes moisturizer with oils depending on how dry her skin feels — a more intuitive approach to skincare rather than rigid routines.
Face Masks & Facials
Claudia has also mentioned enjoying facials and face masks over the years, particularly treatments focused on massage, lymphatic drainage, and hydration.
The Wellness Habits That Seem To Matter Most
The more I read about Claudia’s routine, the more wellness appears to be the foundation of everything. Her approach feels less about perfection and more about supporting overall health:
Consistent movement
Sleep
Hydration
Low-stress rituals
Gentle skincare
Healthy eating
Recovery and restoration
She has described her exercise philosophy as “intelligent movement,” often gravitating toward lower-impact workouts like Pilates, ballet-inspired movement, stretching, walking, yoga, and tennis.
Ahead of major events, she has also shared that she focuses even more heavily on wellness habits including meditation, deep breathing, sound baths, acupressure mats, and recovery-focused routines.
Claudia’s Approach To Aging
She has spoken openly about not trying to look younger and instead wanting to feel healthy, confident, and comfortable in her own skin. In a culture that often treats aging as something to fight against, there’s something incredibly refreshing about seeing a woman in her fifties that continues embracing beauty and fashion in such a way that is truly authentic to her.
That perspective feels especially relevant right now, as more women begin shifting toward routines that prioritize longevity, skin health, and overall wellbeing.
Beauty Tech
Claudia has embraced modern beauty technology in recent years — particularly red light therapy.
The device she has publicly promoted is the BON CHARGE Demi Red Light Device, designed to support collagen production, reduce inflammation, and improve overall skin tone over time.
Other beauty tech devices frequently recommended within the wellness and longevity space include the LYMA Laser and the LumeBox, both of which focus on skin rejuvenation, recovery, and supporting healthier-looking skin through light therapy.
What I find interesting is that even the use of LLLT still feels aligned with her overall approach to beauty; focused on supporting skin health rather than dramatically altering appearance.
Of course, Claudia Schiffer has access to resources most of us do not. But I don’t think that’s entirely why her beauty philosophy resonates. What stands out most to me is the simplicity and consistency behind it all. Healthy skin. Good sleep. Movement. Hydration. Products and self-care rituals she genuinely enjoys. And a refusal to constantly reinvent herself in pursuit of looking younger.
Maybe that’s the real takeaway. Aging well doesn’t always come from doing more — sometimes it comes from doing the basics consistently, and doing them well.
