April 3, 2020
From feel-good features to incomparable interiors and showcases of strong women, Rip & Tan has always served as our outlet for sharing stories to educate and inspire.

A Letter From Our Editor: The Best Stories & Styles To Enjoy at Home
Things to Fill Your Time
How to Replace Your Morning Commute
I’m a skincare enthusiast so it’s hard to complain about waking up after 8 and immediately putting on a face mask. This article shares some other thoughts on how you can spend your newfound morning time and make the most of an undeniable silver lining.
The Best Books to Read Right Now
We’ve all finished Tiger King, but I, for one, have yet to finish a single book during my time at home. Our team is full of bookworms and I absolutely loved getting their takes on the best books to read right now. I feel smarter just from reading their reviews!
A Spring Brunch You’ll Want To Try This Weekend
Chef Thea Baumann, former Food Editor at Goop, has put together some amazing seasonal menus for us on Rip & Tan. This was our first feature with her last spring, and I haven’t stopped thinking about the menu since. Try it this weekend—you’ll see what I mean! She also shares some invaluable advice for home cooks and her desert island cookbook recommendations.
Inspiration for Your Home
An Artifact Curator’s Art-Filled LA Home
Shooting at this LA gallery owner’s home was one of my most special work days yet. I’m longing for any sense of control right now, so this to-a-T perfection that’s still full of art and soul (all of the art in the house is her grandfather’s work!) gives me a sense of calm, plus interiors inspiration for redoing my living room while I’m at home.
The Only 2 Things You Need to Clean Your Entire Home
It’s hard to avoid the feeling that we need to be cleaning every surface in our homes on a daily (or hourly) basis right now, not to mention, cleaning products are basically impossible to find. Thankfully, Jenni shared her favorite ways to use 2 household items you probably already have to clean almost everything.
A Wellness-Inspired Retreat in Malibu
This shoot was another one that I will never forget—Simone lives the most idyllic life imaginable at her incomparable wellness-inspired Malibu home. She also happens to be one of the warmest and most genuine people I’ve ever met. I got lost revisiting her space and re-reading her sage advice—I know you’ll love it, too!
Style Picks for Me
If you’re feeling like treating yourself to something cozy (or scented) while you’re reading at home, these are the JK pieces I can’t get enough of:
Cashmere T-Shirt in Taupe
If you thought you didn’t need a cashmere t-shirt, think again. It’s the softest, most amazing lightweight material ever, and I love the slightly oversized cut.
Cashmere Cocoon Cardigan in Oatmeal
This might be my favorite Jenni Kayne sweater ever. It’s an instant classic that’s incredibly soft and makes me feel put together even in sweats.
Shearling Moroccan Slippers
I bought these slippers two and a half years ago and have worn them every single day since. They’re also the most amazing gift!
Style Picks for My Home
Cedar Ceramic Candle
Cedar is my go-to JK candle: it has a wintery, cabin-like smell that makes me feel instantly at peace, and the ceramic glaze is such a pretty touch.
Large Alpaca Basketweave Throw in Light Grey
The Basketweave Throw is a classic, and I didn’t think it could get any better until the big size came out! You’ll never fight over the blanket again.
The Laundress x Jenni Kayne Lavender Musk Detergent
Anyone who knows me knows I use an inappropriate amount of this detergent. I wish I could wear it as a perfume!
