Then I became a soap person. But after being gifted this foaming shower gel, I’m back to being a shower gel person. The scent is divine. The texture is very fun. And Rituals is a B-corp. All things to love about this, except locating this product. So far I’ve only found it on FragranceNet.com (the manufacturer’s site is based in EU so, tariffs). I bought four bottles, ha! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a6ba1b0300c7e1feeca323c/b3d3800e-48a1-43f8-ad22-8ac16bcb2b76/Screenshot+2026-08-26+at+11.02.46%E2%80%AFAM.png Journal - Bananas à la RZoe (10.01.26) - Cuffed Jeans: Are they happening? I noticed cuffed jeans in Devil Wears Prada 2 when the movie came out in March. Anne Hathaway’s character, Andy wore them in a couple of scenes with black heeled boots. Meh, I thought. (I was much more interested in the outfits worn by Miranda’s new assistant, Amari.) Fast forward a few months, I noticed the Fashion Director of J.Crew (far left) wearing them in a styling video for the shrunken roll-neck sweater, looking quite chic in them. Then finally today, I saw Mother offering a pair in a perfect shade of denim. Does three make it a pattern, a trend or just a coincidence? It’s still too hot to think about wearing jeans in LA but I think cuffed jeans are happening. And I’m excited about them. Now I just need the perfect heeled boot…. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a6ba1b0300c7e1feeca323c/188722f8-fe08-45e9-b892-c2c9b98dba10/images.jpg Journal - Bananas à la RZoe (10.01.26) - Netflix BEEF Season 2 Wow, I’m three years behind streaming but, boy, am I glad I watched this! It was a bit of a slow go in the beginning but it really paid off. It’s dark for sure, but the ending is poetic. And there are some good zingers. For instance, Ashley is screaming at Josh and at the end of her rant, in exasperation, calls him a “Boomer.” Josh and Lindsay’s dog is named Burberry. Austin is dripping sweat on Josh and says “it just my high basal metabolic rate.” You will also never look at orange juice and Shirley Temples the same way again. https://www.alterstudiola.com/journal/my-fave-press-ons monthly 0.5 2026-09-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a6ba1b0300c7e1feeca323c/3facf144-9595-4c94-9aa6-a44988307153/IMG_0414.jpg Journal - My fave press-ons - Chillhouse Pearly Matrimony from the 2026 Bridal Collection https://www.alterstudiola.com/journal/birthday-outfits monthly 0.5 2026-09-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a6ba1b0300c7e1feeca323c/1789512017700-Z4WQJR1CT9OLIGCM2WUE/IMG_0387.jpg Journal - Birthday outfits https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a6ba1b0300c7e1feeca323c/1789512057773-YI2G2KP0XSHVMUX85GKA/IMG_0388.jpg Journal - Birthday outfits https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a6ba1b0300c7e1feeca323c/1789512019342-SPHUUXBRJR9O3L40DLBQ/IMG_0393.jpg Journal - Birthday outfits https://www.alterstudiola.com/journal/so-i-got-a-tooth-gem monthly 0.5 2026-09-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a6ba1b0300c7e1feeca323c/92cfa02d-e439-4204-9b9d-1d23c2d8ce65/IMG_0357.jpg Journal - So I got a tooth gem… - …for my 44th birthday! I’ve been wanting to get one for, seriously, decades. Ever since I saw it in a fashion magazine (maybe Lucky but more likely Cosmopolitan). Unfortunately it fell off in less than two weeks. But I had it redone at the salon for gratis and fingers crossed it’ll stay on for much longer. The one other person I know who had one had hers for a year….My dentist is probably going to have a mouthful to say to me during my next check-up. https://www.alterstudiola.com/journal/blog-post-title-four-lr658-tcthp-wf5mw-hgc5f-aw5sz-fep5p-jp5b9 monthly 0.5 2026-09-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a6ba1b0300c7e1feeca323c/bc7a0c13-ece6-4c23-afd1-917226cd1472/Screenshot+2026-09-01+at+3.37.43%E2%80%AFPM.png Journal - Bananas à la RZoe - Van Cleef & Arpels Santal Blanc Perfume I used to wear perfume every day before having children. My faves were Narciso Rodriguez (the one in the black bottle), Chanel Chance and Viktor & Rolf. I stopped wearing it because I heard it can confuse your newborn who needs to smell “you” in order to better breastfeed. While I stopped BF a long time ago, I hadn’t resumed wearing perfume until recently. My first and last stop on my perfume hunt was Bloomingdale's in Century City. I was between this and Gucci Flora and went with this one; it’s the one I was more excited to wear. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a6ba1b0300c7e1feeca323c/77e1a4f1-31cd-40b9-b6de-4e9298597279/Q224_OLO_Chicken_Avo_Ranch_3600x2400_kgwkqu.webp Journal - Bananas à la RZoe - Sweetgreen Chicken Avo Ranch Salad Okay I assume you have your go-to SG order. Mine is usually BBQ Chicken salad. But recently on a styling + social sesh, my friend and client ordered a bunch of SG salads and I decided to try this one. OMG, this salad shouldn’t work for me on many levels (I don’t like apples or BBQ sauce in my salad) but it just did. Leave it to the experts in the kitchen to know what they’re doing when they’re creating menu items. Now I can’t stop thinking about this salad. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a6ba1b0300c7e1feeca323c/5ecebc76-db83-4571-afc1-2464c437492a/Screenshot+2026-09-01+at+3.40.07%E2%80%AFPM.png Journal - Bananas à la RZoe - Nike Court Slam Mesh Tennis Dress My tennis journey began about a year ago. If I had known how cute the outfits are, I would have begun taking lessons much earlier. This mesh dress is my current favorite. It’s lightweight with built in shorts in a beautiful color. The only feature it’s missing is a pocket for tennis balls. Which means I usually tuck balls into my crew socks, making it look like I have a weird and concerning growth on my ankle. https://www.alterstudiola.com/journal/and-just-like-that-school-is-back-in-session monthly 0.5 2026-08-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a6ba1b0300c7e1feeca323c/549ff000-5abb-407d-9f02-08622f9337e4/IMG_0327.png Journal - And just like that, school is back in session. - Reformation knit dress + Melissa jellies My daughter has clear glitter jellies from Amazon and she wanted to twin that day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a6ba1b0300c7e1feeca323c/b480cd54-504a-4d07-a52b-ff14287e6d0b/IMG_0326.png Journal - And just like that, school is back in session. - Francoise matching set + my new fave flip flops Never mind that I need to slather my feet with Aquaphor before wearing these flip flops (they’re just a tad small). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a6ba1b0300c7e1feeca323c/8dae6dca-b783-4032-afb9-fa91d190aab9/IMG_0328.png Journal - And just like that, school is back in session. - Reformation halter top + COH jean shorts + Salomons Been trying to find ways to wear these Salomons with things other than long pants due to weather…I default to shorts of some sort. Also, shout out to my husband who said “Salomon tennis shoes have been in for many years.” Maybe he should be writing this blog?

A quiet, textured neutral shoe does a lot of work toning down a statement bottom — it's the same logic as pairing a bold top with something neutral underneath. Let one piece do the talking. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a6ba1b0300c7e1feeca323c/5f0409b9-0b97-41da-be5a-7ee693f18d31/IMG_0216.jpg Journal - Bananas à la RZoe - Kitschy fruit hair claw Specifically the strawberry one, which my daughter has already claimed for herself. This is the whole philosophy in miniature: a small, playful accessory adds more personality than an entire extra outfit change would, for zero extra time in the morning. Plus it just makes me smile. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a6ba1b0300c7e1feeca323c/34a955c5-1c1d-4302-8b6c-414522e6f7dc/Crash_Landing_on_You_-_Poster.webp Journal - Bananas à la RZoe - “Crash Landing on You”, rewatched Not fashion advice exactly, but I've been rewatching it (fourth time, eeks) and noticing I actually prefer the fictionalized North Korean village ladies’ wardrobe to the modern South Korean one — more layers, more texture, brighter color story. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a6ba1b0300c7e1feeca323c/6e19e044-1f6a-40f2-a498-72932c29faa1/Frank_Ocean_Biking_Cover.jpg Journal - Bananas à la RZoe - Frank Ocean ft Jay Z, Tyler the Creator, "Biking" No fashion tie-in required for this one. It’s a song I recently discovered listening to Apple Music’s Huntrix DJ takeover (my favorite feature of Apple Music). It’s my favorite song to listen to when I’m driving by myself. It makes me want to roll down the window and put my hand out and feel the breeze. Love this one. https://www.alterstudiola.com/journal/blog-post-title-four-lr658-tcthp-wf5mw-hgc5f-aw5sz monthly 0.5 2026-08-06 https://www.alterstudiola.com/journal/blog-post-title-four-lr658-tcthp-wf5mw-hgc5f monthly 0.5 2026-08-06 https://www.alterstudiola.com/home daily 1.0 2026-07-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a6ba1b0300c7e1feeca323c/7f17f8f9-273e-48c0-8954-7782575a9386/alter+studio+homepage+%281%29.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a6ba1b0300c7e1feeca323c/48be3f92-2294-46a7-b530-fcab721bc94f/unsplash-image-EMWgB-BTyh0.jpg https://www.alterstudiola.com/about-1 daily 0.75 2026-08-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a6ba1b0300c7e1feeca323c/7e68e374-e7fc-4fb0-b706-a5018f7e4590/IMG_9119.jpg https://www.alterstudiola.com/services daily 0.75 2026-08-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511387030-5LI1E5QMVTQ2RY9S00A4/20140228_Trade+151_0046+1.jpg Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511467879-K5J9BYNACHJVDV3BNSFU/Aro+Ha_0387+1.jpg Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511743693-J3A8OYH6X8C7RXNU5K0J/20140301_Trade+151_0124+1.jpg Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/60ce0be0-41c5-4cea-a0c3-03ee85dd0a41/imgg-demo-9d2jDe4u.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/ed28a079-eef6-47e9-bcbb-2e423a72dc8f/imgg-demo-3IRmPeSt.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/f64d269d-6648-4fff-8ded-3294bd99b0c4/imgg-demo-ZRjbSa11.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/a31f4540-4e00-42de-9c18-2ed98e98dfda/imgg-demo-pJOWolCw.png https://www.alterstudiola.com/howitworks daily 0.75 2026-08-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a6ba1b0300c7e1feeca323c/eb96085c-6189-4e84-8cce-b295f8cc2ba5/alter+studio+clothing+on+hangers.jpg https://www.alterstudiola.com/contact daily 0.75 2026-08-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a6ba1b0300c7e1feeca323c/1787948815320-NDZMOX8HU43QK4CYUGB5/unsplash-image-xXJ6utyoSw0.jpg https://www.alterstudiola.com/store daily 0.75 2026-07-30 https://www.alterstudiola.com/store/p/premium-service-ea237 monthly 0.5 2026-09-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68b20bccdd3221310e396070/0d3b66d0-b89c-4730-8045-b54d3f34a8d2/imgg-od3-1sspwj8e.png Store - Premium Service - imgg-od3-1sspwj8e.png https://www.alterstudiola.com/store/p/core-service-5lmmy monthly 0.5 2026-09-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68b20bccdd3221310e396070/51bb662c-d945-4f1c-8f09-0ee2b12e7718/imgg-od3-nm451p7v.png Store - Core Service - imgg-od3-nm451p7v.png https://www.alterstudiola.com/store/p/basic-service-2absf monthly 0.5 2026-09-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68b20bccdd3221310e396070/1756498892960-XQC19HT36ELH7RDVKQHZ/Services+IMG+01.jpg Store - Basic Service - Services IMG 01.jpg
