A poem that stabbed me, another round up of Depop & RealReal finds, COS new arrivals, my new favorite blush and Sephora sale wins and an Earth Day mantra
I also watched Adolescence
Wear: COS has some amazing new arrivals. Especially the denim capri/shorts and the pink pants. I ordered some stuff hehe. These cargo pants are perfection.
My Depop and RealReal finds are so good right now!! It hurts!! Here are bags I am watching.
Kozha Numbers black bag- I absolutely love Kozha Numbers, they are original and their most recent drop looks amazing.
Mansur Gavriel bucket bag in blue!! All about the blue. And a very good price!
Jill Sander mesh top handle bag- so cool and fun.
Clare V checkered bag, I have been eyeing this for a while so lovely to see it on Depop.
Furla rubber yellow mini bag. For cute!! and Summer perfect.
Another Kozha Numbers bag- this is so cool.
Vintage Fendi bag, a classsique.
Jill Sander white bag, a stunner
And yet another Kozha Numbers bag!! This shade of blue flawless.
An exquisite orange Dragon Diffusion bag.
And this sparkly Kara bag!
A few more goooodies!
These Port Tanger sunglasses ($185) are a steal. They usually go for $300+ and are made in Japan- quality.
Paloma Wool green halter (size M) for $165. These are the type of tops I love for Summer.
Toteme slingbacks size 8 for $295.
Cute little Paloma Wool tank sweater for $155, size small.
Prada vintage sweater vest, size medium- $210.
Wet Seal (!!) skirt for $33.
Another Jean Paul Gaultier skirt- love the colors, $165
Anddddd another Jean Paul Gaultier polka dot top- $230.
This vintage top is similar to this sold out Sleeper sweater I wore in this post but it’s only $30!
A cool Aya Muse dress, size small- $156.
And a perfect Frankie’s Bikinis sweater for Summer (size medium, $69).
There are so many good Lexxola sunglasses on The RealReal like these! For $180.
These Frankies Bikinis lounge pants look cozzzzzzzy.
You might loathe these shoes but I think they could be super cool.
I have been looking for a good dupe for these Co boots I have been obsessing over and found a few! COS has this pair which is kind of a fun color, there is only a size 10 left.
Reformation has the payton stretch boot which is pretty close but more of an ankle- the mesh and studded pairs are cool too.
Crying over AMYSHEHAB bags.
This Paloma Wool sweater intrigued me. Would also be cute with a swimsuit.
Ssense is doing 25% off right now with the code SHOP25. I saw that tariffs will be affecting them though so better get it while you can and pay attention where it’s made/coming from. Extreme frown face.
If you are currently living in NYC, I am very jealous because Lara Worthington, Ash Saunders, Alexa Runsdorf + more are doing a closet sale on April 19th. I am upset I will be missing this!
Jewels: I think I am going to pull the trigger on this Aurate chain necklace. I have a bunch of cute charms I have collected over the years and love the look of a bunch of them on a single chain like this. I saw it on Natasha Katz and it convinced me! The quality looks great.
There is also this one from Mejuri that is much pricier but love the chain on this as well. I wear my silver dome huggies and these little diamond pearl huggies every day.
Skin: In my last beauty/Sephora sale post, I mentioned these SIMIHAZE beauty lip & cheek pigment, well I got them in the mail. And I don’t say this lightly guys, they have TOPPED my favorite blush list. Here are my credentials below…
I have tried a lot!! But this stuff is wow, it gives you the best glow ever. Make sure to pick one of the shades that says iridescent. I got magnolia and lily. I love them both and have been wearing them daily! They also stack together and pack easily.
They are doing 20% off right now with the code SPRING20 at checkout!
And my Sephora sale items came and I am sad to say I loved everything. Most were restocks but both the lips products were new. The Bisou balm was better than I ever could of imagined, super french and the texture is something I have never experienced before?? You can really layer it and truly has that smudged, just been kissed look. Also loved the glossy stain.
Hair: I was handed a sample of these hairbands when I was shopping at a boutique in North Carolina and I love it. They are clear hairbands but I love the grip they have especially for working out. Some hairbands just make a better ponytail and these really do.
Home: Tinaye Makuyana is an artist that used paper sculptures to create the illusion of light. I love.
Joe Henry Baker is another artist who has caught my eye. Go see his work if you are in NYC!
I am actually perplexed at how beautiful these homeware pieces are by Khue.
Reading: I like this short and simple prayer that Rachel Nguyen posted. I am not religious or one to pray but this feels like a spiritual mantra to Mother Earth to me. Also Earth Day is almost upon us.
I donate to the Jane Goodall Institute every month, join me if you feel inspired.
Good Neighbors: Relearning How to Live Together via Atmos. Community & neighbors are everything.
In honor of Greta Gerwig directing a new adaption of Chronicles of Narnia for Netflix.
I’m still reading Jeffrey Eugenides book, Middlesex. His writing is genuinely wildly genius.
Watching: I watched Adolescence and ooooof. So many conversations to be had. I truly wish the US would ban social media and even iPhones for kids until at LEAST 16. I am so thankful I grew up in the times of flip phones and no social media. And men, well there’s a lot to unpack there.
I also just started the last season of The Handmaid's Tale on Hulu and wowwwww it’s hitting differently this year!! A little too close to home these days.
Listening: This poem stabbed me so.
Bon Iver’s new album is a beauty.
This song makes me cry.
Also very into Darlin by Jean Dawson.
Most of these are on my SP25 playlist.
Ingesting: I would love to try these pistachio butter chocolate dates.
Bitters for digestion, I have some autoimmune stuff happening and I have tried a lottttttt of different health supplements in my life and I am very impressed with Organic Olivia. Specifically her bitters for digestion and her gluco bitters- either look great.
I also want to try these Lymphatic Support Drops, I have heard great things.
Thanks for reading!
In case you missed it:
sephora sale from your ultimate beauty consumer and reddit researcher, me
Unfortunately for me (my bank account), I am an eager beauty consumer. I love it and find getting ready and trying new products makes my mornings more creative and fun! I have tried a lotttttttt- if you have seen my bathroom, it is an oasis of products. Come into my bathroom and let me paint you.
Some good sales, a great basics brand, skirts & shorts, Marni heels via The RealReal that someone needs, a U-neck sweater, skincare tea + more
I think Wednesday is my new posting day (famous last words) but I am aiming for Wednesday’s and an occasionally Friday. TBD. I am currently in North Carolina, this place is out of a movie, I mean really!!
