Cart Confidential Vol. 6 – Julia Berolzheimer
Welcome back to Cart Confidential, where I break down exactly what’s caught my eye—what I’ve added, saved, and brought home. With spring officially arriving next week, the pull toward lighter, effortless pieces feels natural. This week’s selection leans into that shift—versatile breezy dresses, and mood-lifting accessories. Plus, a patterned bikini with a charm all its own. For littles, theres a sweet tiered dress and comfy striped coverup for swim days. For the home, I’m sharing a beautiful pastel globe filled with butterflies that sits on display in our dining room. Whether you’re refreshing your wardrobe or saving ideas for later,

The rulebook says monochrome is clean, effortless, and understated, but lately, it’s been anything but. Think high-contrast pairings, sculptural shapes, and opulent details—the black-and-white palette took on a more maximalist spirit in the best fashion looks of the week. Because while life isn’t black and white, your outfit can be, as showcased by celebrities like Deepika Padukone, Kriti Sanon, Lalisa and more.

I still remember the thrill when I first saw the moon through a telescope. Even though it was just a toy telescope, I was blown away by the amount of detail I suddenly had before my eyes. And now imagine capturing all that detail over the course of four days. That’s as detailed as you can imagine – and more. This is exactly what Iraq-based photographer Darya Kawa Mirza did, and he kindly shared his incredibly detailed moon images with us. Besides being incredibly detailed, Darya says it’s also his clearest and sharpest moon image ever. As I mentioned, it
Read moreAnanya Panday’s vacation wardrobe was full of playful prints
The prints extended to her beach clothes. Panday’s sarong had swirls of blue. She balanced the hight-octane resort wear with laid-back tank tops, bandana tops, and bathing suits in primary colours. The highlights of Panday’s downtime, however, were her accessories and high-on-blush freckled skin. Think her monogram waist-chain from Chanel styled over her draped high-slit skirt, an opal stone ring or her crab-studs from Chanel’s 2024/25 cruise collection inspired by the coastal town of Marseille.

The right gear matters. I get a dozen emails a month that start with “I know you don’t like to talk about gear, but…” So let me stop you right there. I love talking about gear. As long as we’re talking about gear in terms of how it allows us to make the photographs we want to make, and doesn’t involve too much pixel-peeping, I can talk about it all day long, or until I get distracted by something interesting to photograph. So once in a very blue moon (it’s been a long time!) I open my camera bag and

Read moreRidiculously Good Air Fryer Broccoli
You can skip the bowl part if you’d like and do this all in the air fryer – you’d massage your broccoli with the oil and salt directly in the basket. Then pour the water into the air fryer, so it falls below the grates and stays there during the cooking process. Just another way to achieve a very similar result (and save a dish). Every air fryer is different both in capacity and in temps. You may want to do this in smaller batches depending on the size of the air fryer you’re using. I use this air fryer.
