As unapologetic lovers of fashion, we jumped on the opportunity to throw a Love What You Wear party with our good friends over at LOFT. Just a hop, a skip, and a jump from the Who What Wear offices in Manhattan, we took over LOFT's flagship store on Fifth Avenue with feel-good beats and treats for one night only.

One of our favorite influencers, Sai De Silva, left her unbearably adorable kids at home for the night and came to hang out with us instead. The Scout the City blogger teamed up with Who What Wear editor Aemilia Madden to curate their favorite pieces from LOFT's new arrivals, giving the crowd tips and tricks for styling pieces that put a little pep in your step.

Step inside the Love What Your Wear event we threw with LOFT—you're definitely going to want to see what all our chic guests wore.

Florals + a motorcycle jacket + metallic slides = super-chill Cali-girl style. (Also, we found our next moto jacket here, and NBD—it also comes in pink.)

Natalie Cantell
Executive Director, Brand Studio

Natalie leads the style direction for the all content we create in partnership with our friends at various brands plus the legendary team of editors who work on those shoots and stories. She loves collaborating and storytelling, so it's a really fun role for her. It's also the first full-time job she's ever had⁠! She started out in her career as a very mediocre model who agreed to her first styling job to impress a photographer she had a crush on, which led her down a happy path of contributing to Vogue Australia and working as a stylist, fashion writer, and creative director for all sorts of brands and titles. She has a bachelor of communications, but most of her career opportunities came up thanks to some fleeting and accidental street style moments. She's been at Who What Wear for three and a half years and still loves to work as a freelance consultant with brands and designers to shoot their campaigns in NYC. She's originally from New Zealand, and Bondi Beach is her second home, but like just about every other 20-something, she fell in love with New York at some point. She lives in Williamsburg with her fiancé and their weird little dog, Ruby. If you ever need reccies for feel-good fashion, legit coffee spots, politics podcasts, or non-intimidating yoga studios, she's very much your girl.
