WELCOME NEW READERS! It’s embarrassing to begin our relationship this way but I need to get something off my chest. This rarely happens…but I was wrong. The Everlane linen jumpsuit is good. Let’s not dwell too much on the shit I talked, I’ll just say that I grabbed one at the Everlane sale in Chelsea Market today and it fits nicely and feels pretty good. More on that below! But first, some housekeeping! If you enjoy this newsletter (or even if you hate-read it, I appreciate any attention) forward it to a friend so they can click on this nice big button:
***Also, starting ~*today*~ I’m going to use affiliate links when possible (it’s just amazon links for now). I’ve sold out! The expensive habits you love to read about need to be maintained! As a reminder, everything I put in this newsletter is something I’ve actually purchased unless it’s in the “still in my cart” section.
Clothing
Everlane’s Choose What You Pay sale is live online but it’s even better if you can stop by the IRL sale at Chelsea Market. I went twice today (embarrassing, but this is a safe space!) and picked up a cashmere sweater from the mens section ($50), really nice sweatpants ($35), a denim dress that I can’t find online but sorta looks like this ($30), and the infamous linen jumpsuit ($40). I WILL SAY, when I talked shit about the Everlane jumpsuits I did say this was the least bad one…Im just surprised by how much I liked the fit. One note about the linen jumpsuit is that its great for rectangle bodies and hourglass bodies (just size up 1 size imo). The sale is worth stopping by if you’re in the area, btw! Lots of shoes (unless youre a size 11), tops, bottoms and dresses. The men’s section is pretty stocked too.
Home
I splurged a bit and got a new robot vacuum that I’m really happy with. It’s quieter than my old one and honestly does a much better job without getting stuck as often. My floors are free of dog hair…for now! Also a really lame thing I like about this robovac is that it works with Alexa. Speaking of, I also got an Echo Dot for my living room, mostly to control the lights and possibly to hook up to my sound bar for music. This is not really a home item but I have nowhere else to put it: I finally caved and got a Kindle. I hope to never read a hardcover book again!
Beauty
The sunscreen I’m obsessed with comes in a travel size, so I got one of those to keep in my purse. I’ve been using the sunscreen in place of a moisturizer. Not sure I could get away with that in the winter but it’s been so humid that it’s working for now.
Next, I went for my extremely overdue cut and color at Pas De Deux in Tribeca. Haley has been cutting my hair since I randomly walked into the Alice In Wonderland-themed salon she worked at in 2012, and Anastasia has been coloring it since I went blonde last year. They are both incredible at what they do and worth every penny, even though I do sometimes wince at the register. Every trip to that salon is a joy. They’re funny, friendly and give me actual tips that I can replicate at home. Haley introduced me to the Shu Uemura oil I wont shut up about and for that alone she is a saint.
I stopped by Glossier to try Brow Flick and ended up getting the set with Boy Brow in clear. I also got Lash Slick (which they ended up having to ship to me because they messed up my order in the store) and Vinylic Lip in red AKA “baby”.
What I didn’t buy
I did not buy a second Blink camera, but I like the one I have and if you’re looking for a way to check in on your pet during the day, this will do it! My apartment is a duplex and I thought I might like to keep one in the downstairs, which has its own entrance but ultimately decided it’s unnecessary.
Someone should get these Everlane block heel sandals in blue because they are beautiful and sold out in my size.
I didn’t get this great photo of Patti Smith holding a photo of Patti Smith because it’s too expensive and I’m pretty sure I can just buy a print of the photo elsewhere and frame it myself??
I didn’t get an eyeliner pencil at Glossier but was really pleased with the ones I tried. I really just wear a little brown liner and know I wouldn’t ever use this.
Unsure why I put this bra back on the rack at Free People! It fit perfectly and is beautiful.
One of you needs to get these incredible shoes!!!
OK BYE! <3
