Happy May! Happy official Summer? At least where I am, it’s 80’s for the foreseeable future and I am LOVING it. Hope you are enjoying some sunshine as well.

At the end of my Substack there will now be a paywall where I will be providing links to things I find on The RealReal + Depop each week if you are interested. That’s all the announcements of the day!

Wearing: I have been on the hunt for some good skinny belts. Ideally, I would find it vintage or consignment but I found quite a few good options. I especially love how they look with a little pencil skirt like the below.

Lie Studio, Sylvie Mus, Carrie Nicklas

Here are a few options, mostly from The RealReal.

1. Still Here $185 2. Erickson Beamon via The RealReal $92 3. Dolce & Gabbana via The RealReal $95 4. Red Escada via The RealReal $81 5. Bally via The RealReal $64 6. Miu Miu via The RealReal $168 7. Grey Escada via The RealReal $70 8. Gucci via The RealReal $132 9. Toteme $500 10. Zara $40 11. Max Mara via The RealReal $63 12. Lie Studio $190 12. Mango $45

I really love the Lie Studio belt (it’s the one in the photo on the left).

I ordered these tanks from Zara and I am obsessed with them. The fit is great, they are very 90’s. I also ordered these sandals.

Zara tank, $16

These look like the wedge sandals from Maryam Nassir Zadeh.

Also a cute skirt.

I ordered this very flattering dress from Mango.

I also put in a big order at The RealReal and I’m excited to share what I got! A Siedres sequin skirt may be included.

Saw this vintage skirt on TikTok and found it on Vestiaire for $219. It’s Versace and a size 34 FR.

The Gimaguas x Havaianas collab is fun.

My May wishlist/loves continues to grow. This Baserange top. And this Par & Escala top for Summer nights out. These Mango sandals are perfection. These Black Suede Studio jelly sandals or you could go for the cheaper and just as cute Gap option.

Everything is so good at Doen right now like this polka dot dress and little sheer blouse. Still swooning over this orange Dragon Diffusion color and it’s 20% off right now. Tried this dress on and it’s stunning. J.Crew is doing some great swim like Hunza G dupe style. Speaking of Hunza G…

May loves - art by Diana Jahns

I love making collections like this so I can go back to something if I really can’t stop thinking about it.


Jewels: I’ve been very intrigued by Nuri Studios.

I love this tiny silver bean cord necklace.

And this one.

And THIS color!!

They also make great sarongs.


Skin: I have been loving my Rhode glazing milk, especially mixed in with my foundation. The trick is to add even more after you do your moisturizer and then apply your makeup.

I have also been loving my Lesse sunscreen. It’s such a beautiful formula and so far, I am sunburn-less.

I heard a dermatologist say that your skin is only as good as the skin behind your ears and that stuck with me. If you aren't cleaning behind your ears with witch hazel, here is your sign. I use Thayers.


Home: I love this artist I discovered recently, Kayla Dantz. She takes old photos and weaves them with fabric. They are so cool, I think it would be an incredible gift (to yourself) to commission a custom piece with her.

Listening: The Row May playlist.

I’ve been listening to this absolute rom com book when I am driving around, Summer in the City (free with Spotify premium).

I can’t get this song out of my head.


Ingesting: This cake I found on Pinterest is insane.

In case you missed last week-
