February Forecast – Julia Berolzheimer
February always feels like it should be a breather, but I can already tell this one is going to move fast. We’re barely into the month and my calendar is reading like a boarding pass — a lot of New York, a lot of meetings, and a lot of momentum.
Behind the scenes, things are shifting in a way that feels both exhilarating and overwhelming. Projects we’ve been building toward for years are starting to take real shape, and there’s an energy that comes with that: equal parts gratitude, pressure, and the feeling that you’re suddenly standing in the work you used to only talk about.
So, I’m leaning into a February that’s busy in the best way with a little travel, a little family time, a few things I can’t share just yet, and a lot I’m genuinely excited to bring you along for.
What We’re Doing
- New York, twice — back-to-back. I’m starting the month with two work trips to NYC (this week and next). We have meetings and a few things in motion that I’ll share as they become official.
- A winter break escape. The girls have a mid-month winter break, so we’re heading to Palm Beach for a long weekend. So many of you sent thoughtful recommendations, and we booked the Four Seasons — it was overwhelmingly the most-raved-about option.
- A Charleston night out, with a dress moment. We have a party at The Gibbes Museum this weekend, and I’ve been saving this dress to wear, which gives Chanel Spring runway vibes!
- Spring shopping, thoughtfully edited. There’s so much good spring arriving right now, and I did a deeper breakdown in this Substack post here.
- Thomas’s newest build with Chloe Digital. Thomas has been working on a new start-up called Coreli (you’re CORE link), an auto-generated brand page for your link in bio. You can join the waitlist here (launching soon).
- Exploring new investments. Thomas and I have been slowly investing in businesses over the years, and the past few weeks have been filled with meetings as we review a new round of opportunities. It’s exciting, and also a reminder of how much I enjoy other facets of business aside from what you see mostly here on the blog.
- My “book a month” goal. For February, I’m starting The Last Thing He Told Me.
- A health focus that feels overdue. I’m prioritizing my health right now, especially around chronic inflammation from Celiac and the arthritis in my knees (I’ve had since high school). I’m seeing Dr. Koniver here in Charleston to learn more about peptides — something I’ve been fascinated by and want to understand more deeply before making any decisions.
- My current non-negotiable: walking, weighted. I’ve been doing weighted vest walks on my treadmill at home. Life is full right now, and a 5am walk I can do without coordinating a class schedule is what’s working. I wear this vest in 10lbs and use this walking pad/treadmill.
What I’m Wearing (tidied + expanded)
- Tory Burch is having a moment for me. I recently wore this sheer chartreuse shirt and also ordered this turquoise skirt.
- Brooches are back (for me, at least). I bought this Chanel brooch from their latest drop and it’s inspired me to pull out older favorites again — like this feather one I found on Etsy last fall . I’m also loving this pink Prada one.
- A bubble skirt NYC look. This bubble skirt (I wore it with a black Chanel jacket) is such a fun silhouette.
A great travel tote. The Vee Collective tote has a place for everything and works perfectly as a weekender. - Still on the Ducie coat train. I called this out in Weekly Whims a few weeks back, and I’m still wearing it constantly.
- Chanel 25 update: I’m officially converted. A few weeks in and I’m a big fan of the Chanel 25. I ended up getting a second small size in yellow leather because it’s such a fantastic bag (wearing it here). There aren’t images online of the yellow leather, but it’s the same color as the suede here.
- A red belt that does the most. This one has been on repeat:
What I’m Buying (tidied + expanded)
- A rainbow stripe sweater that feels like an instant mood boost.
- Dress for Palm Beach
- A red refresh. I’m leaning into red right now to cut through winter dullness and carry into early spring:
- Butter yellow, continuing its run. It had a big moment last spring and it’s still going. I ordered these pants to wear with this tank and these heels for an easy evening look in Palm Beach.
- Ossou denim deep dive. After getting an invitation to their fashion week show (sadly I have to miss it), I went down a rabbit hole on their site and ordered three pairs. I’m going to do a Substack video styling them — here are the three:
- Polka-dot swim for spring. I keep hearing polka dots are going to be big, and I’m very into this Cult Gaia bikini:
- A chic set at a great price. This Le Bop set is such a good find:
What I’m Eyeing
- Tory Burch chartreuse blazer
- Valentino: jaw-on-the-floor level. Their couture collection in Paris last week was spectacular — I love Alessandro Michele’s maximalist take on Valentino. A few new arrivals worth bookmarking (or using as styling inspiration):
- Two pieces I can’t stop thinking about.
- Andrew Mukamal’s Margot Robbie styling. His styling for Margot’s Wuthering Heights press tour has been exceptional — every look feels considered and slightly surprising, balancing costume/time-period references with something modern and sharp:
Ulla Johnson Jacket, Amazon Sweater, Tee & Jeans, Nour Hammour Belt (similar here and here), Chanel Flats (on The RealReal, similar here), Altuzarra Bag, Dior Sunglasses
Amazon Sundays shifts into spring with a fresh mix of light, effortless pieces designed for the season ahead. Airy cotton dresses, soft knits, and relaxed tailoring set the tone, alongside easy denim, breezy sets, and polished everyday basics. Woven flats, and minimal sandals ground each look, while striped totes, delicate gold jewelry, and vintage-inspired sunglasses add a refined finish. The palette leans into soft pastels, warm neutrals, and subtle prints, bringing a sense of ease, femininity, and polished charm to everyday dressing.

Claire’s Life: The Tyrese vs. Tank Verzuz with Mona Scott Young, Lala Milan, Linda Luna, and More!
Yep, that’s me—you’re probably wondering how I ended up here. The short answer? Mona Scott-Young.
I pulled up to the Tank vs. Tyrese Verzuz and connected with Comedian Lala Milan and publicist Linda Luna, just planning to enjoy the show. Next thing I know, Mona, who manages Tyrese and was involved in the production of the show, spotted us in the crowd and graciously invited us on stage. Apparently they needed some seat fillers? Who knows. It was an unexpected yet fun surprise.
The Verzus itself had lots of highlights and fun moments, from Tyrese kicking off his set with Chingy for “Calling me Back,” to learning that Tank is the creative genius behind hits like Aaliyah’s song “Come Over,” and “Regret,” which Letoya Luckett came to perform. Tank even brought out Jamie Foxx! Tank and Tyrese went hit for hit, delivering a mix of nostalgia and crowd favorites that kept the audience engaged throughout.
Honestly, it was hard for me to pick a favorite. Who do you think won?
As for me, the Moral of the story: stay ready so you don’t have to get ready.
Toteme Shirt, Tove Skirt (old, similar here and here), Bottega Veneta Bag, Alaia Wedges, Retrouvai Necklace (similar style here)
As the days get longer, evenings take on a lighter, more open energy, and getting dressed follows that shift. Spring is when color naturally steps forward for dinners, events, and nights out, whether that’s a colorful skirt with a crisp white shirt, a silk top in coral or fuchsia, or a full look in one strong shade. One statement piece often sets the tone. A bright heel, a jacquard skirt, or a vibrant bag brings just the right amount of energy, while clean silhouettes keep everything feeling elevated. Color becomes the focal point—fresh, expressive, and perfectly suited for the season.
Water Glasses, Scalloped Plates and Placemats, Watering Can Napkins, Rattan Bunnies, Rattan Bowl, Easter Eggs
Easter sets the tone for a table layered with texture and hints of color. After pulling together this Easter edit I wanted to show how I used those pieces to create something warm, inviting, and a little whimsical. Many of the pieces are from Amazon, which made it easy to mix in beautiful, well-priced finds that still feel thoughtful and elevated.
I started with a floral tablecloth, then layered scalloped placemats with soft green and white ceramics. Woven elements like rattan bunnies and baskets bring in texture, while pastel eggs add that playful Easter touch. I kept florals simple in small vases across the table and finished with textured glassware and linen napkins to pull everything together.

After an absolutely brutal winter, there are signs of spring in the Northeast. I’m taking advantage of it by breaking out all of my favorite work dresses and perhaps adding a few more to my collection.
