Obsessions 001
A few things I'm very into right now that you should know about
Latest obsessions! I touched on a few of these on my stories lately, but wanted to give you more insight into the latest objects occupying my brain.
I found a vintage mesh bag in a vintage shop in LA, but didn’t pull the trigger that day. I sometimes prefer to go back home and do my own research to see if I can score it for less, or find an even better option online. I did just that and went into a deep Etsy rabbit hole of 1920’s art deco mesh bags, where I ultimately found one for $25 in great condition. Excited to see how it is once it arrives.
Little touches of metallic/ chrome:
Don’t discount the joy of a cheap thrill. Mcdonald’s vanilla cones are the perfect summer pick me up, trust.
Speaking of cheap thrill, I also got that silver phone case in this gorgeous maroon/oxblood colorway. I honestly might buy a few more- they’re amazing.
I’ve been keeping my face out of the sun as much as I can- most of the time failing and letting my cheeks peek out into the light to feel alive (and only slightly toasted). To reward myself for trying to not tan my face, I’m loving these new Westman Atelier Illuminating drops- my favorite for giving myself a little glow. I like them better than a lot of the other “tan drops” on the market because they are very subtle and do not read orange on the skin whatsoever.
In combo with the WA drops, I love mixing them with the new Hourglass Tinted Moisturizer. They sent it to me and I was determined to find something wrong with it, but couldn’t. I’ve been looking for an option of a tinted moisturizer for night time without SPF, and this is awesome. Only thing is.. I love it so much I’m wearing it during the day, too. So we’ll just have to use SPF in the skincare prior to applying, which I’m not mad about. Its light and very, vert skin like and buildable. Not cake-y at all, does not pill. I wear shade 10 at the moment!
Gel builder for my nails- I’m not sure what this sorcery is but my nails have not felt this strong in years (maybe ever?)
I know I said I’m not *ready* for fall, but I wanted to let you know I will be manifesting a floor length [black] coat and so I’m on the hunt for my winter parka lately. A few other things I’m starting to manifest for fall: cool belts, new boots, oversized trench coats, styling my riding boots, metallics, statement coats, vintage crewnecks, and more vintage/second hand pieces in general.. more to come on fall things.
Before I let you go, I wanted to leave you with something summer-y that is my latest obsession (as of this weekend). All of my pajama shorts/ casual shorts have either not been doing it for me or my favorite one’s are in the laundry bin and I’m left without a plan B. Desperate times led me to Jimmy’s boxer drawer where I fished out these knit boxers from Target I remembered I love. I said what the hell and wore them out and actually loved the way they looked (and felt) for a little beach day. He didn’t get it but it’s not about him. They’re not from recent times so I’m not sure if they sell the Navy anymore, but I linked virtually the same ones!
Talk soon!!
I am both SO ready to talk fall clothes and also not at all!! Love seeing what is inspiring you as I start my own fall wishlist.
Hi, I’ve been loving your everyday jewelry that you’ve been wearing especially your necklace stack and just the few simple silver bangles/watches. I was wondering if you would be willing to help me put together a necklace stack with charms similar to yours and just a few cool vintage bracelets, or at least steer me into the right direction, key terms to search for when looking for vintage jewelry etc. Let me know and we can connect via email !!
