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:

I’m totally in love with the color of this sheath midi dress from Boss. We’ve professed our love for the light blue suit around here for years, so this is right up my alley. I would pair this with a white blazer for a gorgeous summer-y look, but there is a coordinating jacket if you want to do a column of color.
The dress is $549 at Nordstrom and comes in sizes 0-18. It’s also available in “pumice.”

The Best Spring Trends of 2026 – From sporty accents to new shapes in workwear
Today is officially the first day of spring, which means it’s time to start thinking about the best spring trends. Right now, we’re taking inspiration not just from the spring/summer 2026 runways, but also the fashion month that just wrapped. On the streets of Paris last month, show-goers were starting to debut the best of new season, and just about everyone in the fashion industry was running to Chanel to nab pieces of Matthieu Blazy’s first collection (especially the shoes!) Which leaves us with just one question: How can we update our wardrobes to match this energy?
This spring, designers not only introduced new iterations of classics, but gave us new ideas for styling, like the T-shirt sandwiches we saw at Lii and Versace. They introduced new wardrobe builders, such as low-rise skirts at Chanel, and continued to lean into rising trends, like the balloon pants at Altuzarra and Ashlyn. There were also statements made of juxtapositions, whether you lean sporty like Prada or ultra lady-like (but with a sense of ease) like at The Row.
There are so many new ideas for how to get dressed this spring. Below, I outline the key trends to shop now.
Layers! On Layers! On Layers!
When it comes to layering this spring, more is more, and designers are inspiring us to get creative with color-blocking. Jil Sander makes the perfect T-shirt and sells it in a three-pack, which is the ideal starter kit for putting together a heavily layered look. We’re also charmed by the one-stop-shop option, i.e. Lii’s runway version that comes already partially layered—making it effortless to get the look. These funky layers look best for spring with a pair of jeans and ballet flats or trousers and sandals. The key is to balance the classics with flair.

Spring Into Workwear
Clockwise from top left: Boss, Bottega Veneta, Kallmeyer, Chanel
Getting dressed for the office this spring should feel fresh, and an in-between transitional jacket can help you get there. The new blazer shape is cropped with no collar; it will look just as chic commuting to work as it does at the office and out for happy hour after. You could also take a cue from Chanel and zhuzh up a jacket you already own with a pop-of-color flower pin. On the bottom, try a pencil skirt that comes with a belt (just make sure it’s low-rise), or invest in pinstripe pants in a softer trouser shape—they’ll look just as good with a white t-shirt and flats for the weekend.
Scarf Dressing
Silk scarves were once thought of as old-fashioned, but this season, designers made them into a cool-girl hero item. From the perfect going-out scarf top (you could also wear it on vacation!) to scarf-print pants and scarf bags, these key pieces all make a statement. Pair your silk top with a pair of black cigarette pants and pumps for a chic night out. To style your silk pants, mix in a scarf bag for pattern play but add a white t-shirt and sandals for a cool pared-back look.
Sporty With Spice
Clockwise from top left: Prada, Loewe, Prada, Celine, Loewe
Sporty silhouettes and fabrics were given a sophisticated remix on the runways. From elevated parkas in bright colors (great for layering, as seen at Loewe) to bright shorts and funky sneakers, these separates look best when incorporated into your everyday wardrobe. Swap your suede jacket for a technical one in a fun color or add colorful sneakers to your trouser-and-top uniform to add some joy to your office look.

Alsace Rocks Consumer Walk Around Tasting
Fresh from retaining two Michelin stars at Terre at Castlemartyr Resort, Executive Chef Lewis Barker is in Dublin for a one-night-only takeover at Library Street on Monday, 27th April, 2026. Barker is bringing the team from Terre to deliver a specially created four-course menu that introduces his culinary DNA to the city.
Before arriving in Cork in late 2025, he spent a decade in heavyweight kitchens from Europe to Australia and Singapore, becoming the youngest chef in Singapore to win a Michelin star at just 27. Now at Terre, he’s evolving that global experience into something that’s also deeply connected to and reflective of his immediate Cork and wider Irish landscape.
The evening at Library Street offers an intriguing look at what Lewis Barker is creating at Terre, and diners can expect a multi-sensory menu that reflects his technical precision and focus on flavour. It’s also an opportunity to catch a chef of this calibre in a room this relaxed and intimate, doing exactly what he does best.
The four-course menu is €150 per person (+ booking fee), with a wine pairing available for €79. Seats are extremely limited and the evening begins from 6.30pm.
Venue: Library Street Restaurant, 101 Setanta Place D02 W3Y7 Dublin 2
Time: 18:30 – 23:00

Nightlife in Ireland is in decline; there were 500 active nightclubs in the year 2000 and now there are less than 100*. Dancing, music and the arts are integral to Irish culture. Changing licensing laws, Covid, and economic forces have all collided to challenge a once vibrant sector.
Give Us the Night is a volunteer group that has set out to revitalise Irish nightlife. The group campaigns for change through revised licensing laws, later opening hours, and regulation reform. Co-founded by Sunil Sharpe and Ciara Power, the group was created in response to the proposed change in venue closing times in 2004 and continues to make crucial progress for dance spaces and the people that fill them.
Recently, the new Hoxton Hotel on Exchequer Street faced backlash, resulting in two protests, after it sought an injunction against its neighbouring restaurant and late-bar, Yamamori Izakaya. A squeeze on nightlife and cultural spaces has restricted those seeking a place of freedom and connection to a handful of buildings. Following the recent closure of The Complex, now more than ever, there is a need to protect our cultural spaces and nightclubs
Give Us The Night has suggested providing more multi-use spaces that merge art, culture and hospitality, while also facilitating dancing. Adapting already existing organisations could prove to be a vital way of keeping the dance fire burning.
A significant change is needed to maintain a culture that can not only survive but thrive. Give Us The Night is at the forefront of this change.

Fercullen 15 Crowned World’s Best Grain Whiskey at Global World Whiskies Awards
Congratulations to Powerscourt Distillery whose Fercullen 15 Year Old Irish Whiskey has been named World’s Best Grain at the Global Finals of the World Whiskies Awards, held in London on Wednesday, March 25th 2026. Fercullen 15 has now secured this global title for the second consecutive year, a feat rarely achieved at the World Whiskies Awards and a testament to its consistent quality and craftsmanship at the very highest level.
The World Whiskies Awards are among the most respected in the industry, judged through a rigorous blind tasting process by leading global experts. Being awarded the top global honour marks a significant achievement not only for Fercullen 15, but for Irish whiskey.
This recognition comes at a pivotal time for Powerscourt Distillery, following a period of restructuring in 2025 and its subsequent acquisition by Altiva Management Inc., securing new investment and a strong foundation for future growth. The business has continued to operate throughout this period, with the recent transaction ensuring stability, safeguarding jobs, and enabling renewed focus on innovation and premium whiskey production.
John Cashman, Head of Brand at Powerscourt Distillery, commented on the win:
“Fercullen 15 is a whiskey that truly showcases the elegance and complexity that grain whiskey can deliver at the highest level. The interplay between the bourbon maturation and the Madeira cask finish creates layers of dried fruit, gentle spice and a natural sweetness that defines its character. To see it recognised as the best in the world — and to achieve that honour for a second year in a row — is incredibly rewarding for everyone involved in its creation.”
Adam Morgan, Chairman of Powerscourt Distillery, added:
“This award is a powerful endorsement of both the quality of Fercullen whiskey and the resilience of the Powerscourt Distillery team. Following a challenging period for the business, this global recognition underscores the strength of the brand and the exciting future ahead. Winning this title for a second consecutive year is a rare distinction and reinforces our confidence in the long-term potential of the brand. With new investment and a clear strategic vision, we are committed to building on this momentum and establishing Powerscourt as a leading force in Irish whiskey worldwide.”
Fercullen 15 Year Old Irish Whiskey €52.00 is produced from a mash of corn and malt, initially matured in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels before a portion is finished in Madeira casks. This is a single grain whiskey, a with flavours of nutmeg, a hint of walnut and a surprisingly sweet citrus finish. Available from Celtic Whiskey Shop, Dawson St; O’Brien’s and Tesco.
