Holiday party shopping (Mango + Massimo Dutti edition), good socks and tights, some sweaters I would really enjoy wearing, some things you can ingest + more
And a Dyson dupe that got me good
Hello, I am back again. Back in America and depressed about this country and haven’t really felt much like posting. Haven’t really done any shopping but I do have some holiday parties on the horizon so I am trying to get into the spirit, plus I need lots of wine + retail therapy. Sprinkling some gift ideas in here as well!
Wear: I have been getting so much inspo from Atiya Walcott’s videos, highly recommend a follow. Influenced to get these socks by her and also the red ones.
After adding the above socks to my cart, I browsed through Mango’s holiday assortment and added a few other pieces that I plan to wear over the holidays. I looove dressing up for the holidays!!! The one time a year I can wear a bow in my hair.
After I browsed Mango, I decided to take a peek at what Massimo Dutti had to offer- I could not go into this store in London without buying something, I had to STAY AWAY!! In the store they style outfits together so you end up bringing the whole outfit into the fitting room, they have some great stylists behind the scenes there.
Sharing more Massimo favorites here.
COS will be having 25% off for black Friday. Still loving these COS jeans I have repeatedly talked about. I also love this faux fur collar to add to my coats.
Everything I have been picking up has been black?? More inspo I picked through at COS, I love these little silver bows as barrettes pictured below. Also obsessed with this balloon skirt and satin jacket (the neck is great).
James Street Co is one of my absolute favorite brands, I will have their sweaters for life!! On my wishlist is the peri cardigan, chunky lowe pullover, the frank sweater coat and the sam double turtleneck. They’re sooo good and everything is 20% off right now!
I would pair the above sweater with these Eterne sweatpants that are on sale for $138- I have heard rave reviews from fellow couch rotters regarding these sweatpants and I think I would live in them year round. When I walk into my home, I am switching into sweatpants.
These Sezane tights are only $20 and I LOVE.
Did you know that Levi’s has a whole section of jeans that are made in Japan? Because I didn’t and these look amazing.
MORE TIGHTS. I love the two pairs of tights below, I think tights can add an interesting twist to any outfit. This also sent me down a Yuhan Wang frenzy and this little skirt and blazer are perfection for the holidays.
I can’t tell if the tights below are a nearly black grade 10 Wolford pair or if they are actually grey tights? The sheerer, the better for me!!
Skin: Gracie Abrams makeup artist swears by these $10 scrub and peel wipes before doing your makeup/skincare.
What have I actually bought in terms of sales so far? I ran out of my Make Beauty concealer (that I LOVE) and ended up buying their diffusion dew skin tint, the eyebrow gel and also another of my beloved lip oils in nude nova (believe it’s waitlisted now). They are doing 25% off!
I trust every skincare recommendation that Steph Shep gives because her skin is flawless, she posted this product on her story and I am INTRIGUED.
If you are looking for a wet eyeshadow look, Urban Decay space cowboy is the only thing you need. Also looks amazing adding a little to your lips for a wee bit of frost for the holidays.
Sweet sleep magnesium butter. Yes and yes.
Hair: Eeeeek so it’s not the Dyson air wrap I purchased but an incredible DUPE that is selling out everywhere but I managed to jump on a restock notification and am now the proud owner of this Bondi Boost airstyler and I am so excited!! You can take a deep dive on social media and see some results. I will report back.
Home: Gohar has the best sweet little home gifts.
I will be DIYing the below.
If you have a dog, it’s time for them to situate themselves into a sweater from Little Beast. Are you joking?? I can’t bear the little fleeces and they do such amazing collabs!
Art: Five Butterflies by Odilon Redon.
Reading: This interview with Sally Rooney on The Paris Review.
How Ireland became the world’s literary powerhouse!!
This very sweet and important piece on connecting within our community by Jordan Santos.
I signed up for The Cut’s new newsletter, Book Gossip.
I finished All The Missing Girls (a fast read thriller that I couldn’t put down) and now am reading Conversations on Love.
Listening: This song on repeat (Frolic by Jake Xerxes Fussell). Also Suki Waterhouse’s new song, Big Love.
My girl jam playlist is my go to recently. Come yam and jam along.
Ingesting: The Erewhon vegan blackout cake that Gabriette posted. Must ingest.

Maybe I should be talking about what I am making for Thanksgiving? Honestly, I am not the biggest Thanksgiving fan but I am making a vegan mac n cheese and this delicious salad.
Hope you are all surrounded by warm food and big love all weekend wherever you may be! As always, thanks for reading.
