1. Rhone DreamGlow Tunic and Pant Set
#Kimfluenced Pick of the Week
Living the Dream in Rhone’s DreamGlow Tunic and Pant Set
Let’s talk about my current obsession: Rhone’s DreamGlow Tunic and Pant Set. It’s the cozy-chic outfit I didn’t know I needed, and now I practically live in it. (No judgment if I wear it three days in a row, right?)
Why I’m Dreaming in Style:
- So. Freaking. Soft. You know that feeling when you crawl into bed with freshly washed sheets? That’s this set—except you can wear it everywhere.
- Chic Enough for Outside: Coffee shop run? Casual brunch? A quick Target trip? The tunic’s length and flow are giving me “I look like I have my life together” vibes, even if I’m just chasing my to-do list.
- From Couch to Cute: Pair it with slippers and a messy bun for Netflix nights or belt the tunic and add boots for errands. One set, endless possibilities.
Pro Tip: The tunic looks AMAZING over leggings, too. Just saying.
Rhone nailed it with this one—like, where has this been my whole life? Whether you’re all about comfort or want to add a polished edge to your loungewear, the DreamGlow set is a must. (Yes, this is your sign to treat yourself.)
Get ready to glow all day, dream all night.

If you know me, you KNOW I’m obsessed with hydrangeas—they’re our logo, our vibe, and everything I love about New England: timeless, coastal, and classic. So when Dudley Stephens dropped their Hydrangea Fleece, it felt like a match made in cozy heaven.
