Banana Republic has a really good belt right now, a cardigan that is my favorite purchase in a while, a shirt I yearned for in 2023 found on the RealReal, great stools + more
brown tights > black tights + Pete Davidson in my inbox
Wearing: I have been hating all my jeans recently so I ordered these from Zara, the “extra long” got me- they should be arriving today or tomorrow. Stay tuned.
Yesterday I got two emails and one contained Pete Davidson for Reformation and the other was Adrien Brody for J.Crew.
Ok!! I do love this little leopard bag from Reformation.
I went into J.Crew and Banana Republic the other day and was pleasantly surprised. I tried on these two cashmere tops and loved both colors. I think it would look cool layered with a white long sleeve.
I also LOVED this belt from Banana Republic and they had a few winter accessories like these fun hat colors on sale. I also tried on these shearling mittens and adored.
I got this sweater from Sleeper and it’s one of my favorite purchases, I feel like I will get a lot of wear out of it. I think I got the last one on sale from Revolve, I’m sorry!! I think you can get a notification if it comes back in stock. I would also check The RealReal, they get a lot of Sleeper items in.
I am still stalking resale sites for the Manu Atelier prism bag. I saw it in white on The RealReal but want it in brown or this fun purple.
Brown tights (038 mocha)> black tights. Saw it here first and I agree!
Fun sheer sequin skirt on Depop.
I’ve been pondering on this vintage Banana Republic leather jacket for $85. Buttoned to the top!!
Thinking about Summer in these Hereu sandals (size 8.5 lucky you).
Still eyeing the St. Agni 90’s slim sunglasses.
Sometimes I come across something on The RealReal or Depop that I desperately yearned for at some point but was too expensive like this Siedres top that I posted about here in November of 2023. I originally saw it on Lucy Williams and I still love it, someone should get it! It’s a size large, $95.
I like this scarf I saw Kendall Jenner wearing, not sure what it is but this cashmere Banana Republic one is very nice- I like the white even though I’d most likely stain it within hours.
Glasses are EVERYWHERE. I have two prescription pairs (one free-ish with health insurance) so I am on a mission to go to all the cool glasses boutiques around Minneapolis to try on some new pairs. Hope to feature what I find in the next few Substacks.
Skin: Surprisingly my two favorite products right now are by Gucci.
It’s the lipstick in They Met in Argentina. Here is me trying it on, it gives such a full lip effect.
And then the powder blush I have mentioned a few times in true pink. I also have tried these Lumify eye drops twice and they slightly terrify me but I only use them on rare occasions and they make your eyes shiiiine.
I was influenced by this video. I want to try the Chanel cheek Balm in vibrant coral, and the glowy highlighter. And the Makeup by Mario soft sculpting shaping stick- I already love the transforming skin enhancer.
Katie Jane Hughes said this Fara Homidi lip liner in faun is her new favorite for pale skin- beating out Makeup Forever endless cacao- if you know you know this is big! It’s already sold out.
Home: Madonna’s Gold Rush Steak House on Valentine’s Day.
These lovely stools by Assieds Toii, just darling and colorful. The ideal getting ready stool.
Art: Another good vintage art Etsy shop- I love this frame below.
This piece by Papou Koliopoulos.
And this stunnnning divider that would warm my heart every morning to see by John McAllister.
Reading: I finished the book Stoner in one night. Then deep dived online, I thought it a interesting read for a book published in 1965. There’s lots to dig into. I am now reading Crying in H Mart- I know I am late on this! This book is already beauuuutiful, the way she describes food alone. I love it.
Na Kim designed the book cover of Crying in H Mart- she is so talented and an art director at the Paris Review, hence their amazing covers.
The new editor of French Vogue.
I got my library card and downloaded the Libby app, woohoo! Valentine’ Day reminder:
Watching: I am mindlessly rewatching the show Girls on HBO, it’s interesting to rewatch it in your 30’s. It almost feels more gen z which is why I think it is having a big moment with that generation online.

Kendrick Lamar’s flare jeans and his hey Drake smile.

I also rewatched Little Miss Sunshine, love that movie. It’s on Hulu right now.
Ingesting: I switched over to all loose leaf tea and I have been missing out!! The flavor is tenfold and you get so much more for your money. I love the brand Anthony’s.
That’s it for today. I’ll leave you with the fact that this car was in front of me the other day, what’re you trying to tell me higher powers?!?
Have a great week and thanks for reading.
ok but i do think it's criminal that zara calls them "extra long" and doesn't include the inseam length, report back!! (i was recently gaslit by vuori telling me that their "tall" inseam was 27 in)
I know this is an old post but I’m dying to know about the jeans you’re wearing in the picture with the cashmere short sleeves!
