Hi Marie Claire readers! I’m Grace Dougherty. I’m a writer, actress, stylist, and poet living in Los Angeles. On my Substack, Jelly Sandwich, I write about living in and leaving New York and longing for it while living my dream life in California—but also about personal style, culture, and the human condition. I’m so excited to be here to tell you all my secrets.
We are approaching a mega heatwave in LA, yet buying more for summer is unfathomable. It is my least favorite season. Everyone still in Europe needs to come home; school is starting soon! Fall dressing in Los Angeles consists mostly of lightweight sweaters, great denim, and sometimes athletic shorts.
