Sweaters, Shoes & Skincare—How Jenni Kayne Won Over Every Palisades Mom (Copy)
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 are the epitome of effortless California luxury. Think laid-back, timeless, and elevated essentials that make you look put together, even when you’re just throwing something on to do preschool drop-off. (Aspirational mom dressing at its finest.) The brand is known for neutral colors, impeccable quality, and understated elegance, focusing on wardrobe staples and home pieces that are both functional and beautiful.
So when I received a Jenni Kayne care package, it was not some generic, half-hearted donation—it was an actual, well-thought-out, perfectly curated haul. Let’s go through it.
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 Cashmere Fisherman Sweater – A Hug in Sweater Form
This was my instant favorite. It’s soft, slouchy, and so luxurious, but not in a fussy way—more in a “this was an investment piece, and I will wear it for the next 10 years” kind of way. You know those sweaters that somehow make even leggings look chic? That’s this one. If you’re buying one Jenni Kayne sweater, this is the one.
🤍 The Everyday Sweater – The Name Says It All
Lightweight but cozy, structured but relaxed—this is the perfect throw-on-and-go sweater. It’s the kind of thing I would have kept in my car for chilly soccer mornings, except, you know… I don’t have a car anymore. (Too soon?)
🧥 The Cocoon Cardigan – If a Blanket Was a Sweater
You know when you need maximum coziness but still want to look put together? This is that cardigan. It’s oversized and effortless, and it instantly makes you feel like you have your life together—even when you absolutely do not.
The Shoes: The Ultimate Mom Upgrade
In addition to the sweaters, Jenni Kayne also sent a gorgeous pair of mules, because clearly, they understand their audience.
👡 The Mule Loafers – Slip-On Chic
I am normally a sneakers-and-slides mom, but these? These make me feel like I tried, even when I absolutely did not try. They’re buttery soft, slip on effortlessly, and magically make leggings look like a full outfit. If I wasn’t already obsessed with this brand, these mules would have sealed the deal.
Oak Essentials: Because Skincare is Self-Care
As if three sweaters and shoes weren’t enough, Jenni Kayne also sent the entire Oak Essentials skincare line. (At this point, I was wondering if they also planned to rebuild my house.)
I had never tried Oak Essentials before, but this stuff is luxe. Full-sized products, clean ingredients, and exactly what I needed since my previous skincare routine literally went up in flames. (Literally.)
Here’s what I got:
✨ The Cleansing Balm – Melts off everything (including stress? TBD).
💦 The Balancing Mist – Hydration in a bottle.
🌿 The Ritual Oil – Glowy skin in a way that says “I drink enough water” even when I don’t.
🧴 The Moisturizer – Thick, rich, and makes me feel like I have my life together.
💛 The Restorative Mask – Because I need all the “restorative” energy I can get right now.
Why This Meant So Much
A lot of brands send performative PR packages—Jenni Kayne sent thoughtful essentials that actually made a difference. These were not leftover inventory or random donations—these were pieces they knew we would actually wear, use, and love.
After losing everything, receiving something beautiful, luxurious, and useful felt like a reminder of normalcy. And in a time when so much has been chaotic and overwhelming, that means 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—this was a brand stepping up for a community that supports them. And for that, I’ll be a Jenni Kayne fan for life.
