Sweaters, Shoes & Skincare—How Jenni Kayne Won Over Every Palisades Mom

Jenni Kayne raised the bar on care packages—other brands, please take note. If there’s one thing I could tell you, directly donating to Palisades Moms might be the best investment you can make—we are your target market, and we will be loyal to the brands that stood by us.

I’ve always been a Jenni Kayne fan. They’re the epitome of effortless California luxury—laid-back, timeless, elevated essentials that somehow make you look put-together, even when you’re just throwing something on for preschool drop-off. (Aspirational mom dressing at its finest.) Think neutral tones, impeccable quality, and understated elegance across both wardrobe staples and home pieces that are as functional as they are beautiful.

So when I received a Jenni Kayne care package, it wasn’t some generic, half-hearted donation—it was a well-thought-out, perfectly curated haul. Let’s go through it.

Much-needed date night in the city, wrapped in my favorite Jenni Kayne cabin sweater. Cozy meets coconut rice and chili prawns at Burma Love.

The Sweaters: The MVPs of the Care Package

If there’s one thing Jenni Kayne does best, it’s sweaters—and let me tell you, they delivered. They sent me three, and each one was perfect in its own way.

🤍 The Cotton Cabin Sweater in Ivory – Classic, timeless, and neutral.
This was my instant favorite. It feels like an investment piece in the best way—something I’ll wear for the next 10 years. You know those sweaters that somehow make even leggings look chic? That’s this one. It was the lightest of the bunch, which makes it perfect for spring and LA weather most of the year. They sent me a size M, which gives it a slightly slouchy fit and a deeper V-neck—I actually love that. Still polished, but effortless.

🤍 The Cashmere Boatneck Sweater in Oatmeal – The softest sweater I’ve ever owned.
I’m usually not into boatneck styles, but this one is so soft, I’ve really come around. The color is beautiful, too—super wearable.

🤎 The Linen Dylan Sweater in Sienna – Dress it up or down.
Lightweight and easy, with that lived-in feel right away.

🤎 The Mohair Boyfriend Sweater in Stone – Low-key sexy or perfectly cozy.
Okay—technically, this one wasn’t in the care package. I bought it through the Fire Victim Relief link because I was craving one of their cult-favorite cashmere Cocoon sweaters (which wasn’t included in the sale), and this had a similar oversized fit. It’s a little scratchy, but I’m hoping it softens up. I bought it in an XS based on the salesperson’s advice (it runs big, like the Cocoon). Worn alone, it’s subtly sexy for date night; layered over a tee, it’s casual perfection.

The Shoes: The Ultimate Mom Upgrade

👡 The Mule Loafers – Slip-on chic.
These were such a fun surprise. A big upgrade from my Amazon slides, and perfect for drop-off when I want to look pulled together without trying too hard. I probably wouldn’t have picked these out myself, but that’s what’s great about care packages—you get to try something new you might not have thought of otherwise.

Oak Essentials: Because Skincare Is Self-Care

As if three sweaters and shoes weren’t enough, Jenni Kayne also included the entire Oak Essentials skincare line. (At this point I was wondering if they were also planning to rebuild my house.)

I hadn’t tried Oak Essentials before, but it looks luxe. I’ll admit, I haven’t dug in yet since I’m currently testing out The Outset (really love their serum!). But receiving full-sized, clean skincare products at a time when my entire routine literally went up in flames (literally) was beyond appreciated.

Why This Meant So Much

A lot of brands send performative PR packages. Jenni Kayne sent thoughtful essentials that actually made a difference. These weren’t leftover inventory or generic “donation” pieces—these were intentional. Items we’d wear, use, and genuinely love.

After losing everything, receiving something beautiful, luxurious, and functional felt like a reminder of normalcy. And in a time when so much has felt chaotic, that meant everything.

A Brand Worth Supporting

If you’re looking for timeless, effortless pieces from a brand that actually gives a damn—Jenni Kayne is it.

This wasn’t a one-time marketing play. It was a brand stepping up for a community that already supports them. And for that, I’ll be a Jenni Kayne fan for life.
