Chloe’s Favorites: 1. Smythson notebook 2. White blouse 3. Treasure Island 4. Fleetwood Mac 5. MiH Ellsworth jeans)
Who she is: Chloe Lonsdale, Founder and Creative Director of MiH Jeans and mom of sons Finn and Ryder and baby daughter Arden
Why we love her: She’s laid-back, minimal (see her go-to outfit and the contents of her purse), has amazing taste, and is balancing three littles while masterminding some of the most flattering and comfortable jeans of. all. time. Gwyneth, Jessica Chastain, and January Jones are among the cool-girl celebs regularly seen sporting MiH, and Raya and I are rather obsessed as well. (We each recently acquired a pair of the MiH Skinny Marrakesh and are totally and completely smitten.)
Herewith a peek into Chloe’s world.
On heavy rotation: We listen to lots of music in the office throughout the day. Currently it’s a mix of classic Fleetwood Mac and newer bands like The Lumineers.
What she’s reading: Right now I’m reading Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson with my son.
Always in her handbag: Apart from the standard keys/phone/wallet trifecta, I always have a small Smythson notebook and a pencil for sketching and capturing ideas and inspiration on the go.
Her uniform: My go-to outfit is a white or blue shirt, slim leg jeans, and ankle boots — simple, fresh, and effortless.
Her go-to family meal: Roast chicken!
Her tip for balancing work and family: Don’t try to do too much, always be realistic about your plans, and make sure you have a cut off point before dinner when you can no longer discuss work!
