Weekly Finds 005

Wishlist items, "utility", shoes of the day, pre-fall, and summer blues! Everything I saved while perusing over the last month.

Another month passes, and the FINDS tabs grow. I’ll admit, I’m not shopping as much as I am perusing. I think there’s always a pressure to start shopping for the next season as soon as everyone starts rushing to cover fall trends, edits, etc. I tend to get pretty overwhelmed by it, and hey- it’s still summer! I am all about forward thinking, so if you’re someone that enjoys shopping early, I hear you. I am just starting to really enjoy summer in LA, so I’ll be here perusing and soaking up the last months of summer (although summer here tends to last through October..)

Before I let you peruse my own perusing below, I want to wish you all an amazing month of August. In Greek culture, on the first day of every month, we greet each other with “Kalo Mina”, which translates precisely to “good month”. So.. Kalo Mina to all of you and yours. Sending amazing vibes as we enter a new, beautiful summer month.

Love, Gabs

I feel like I don’t usually start with accessories, but I’m really leaning into them right now. I feel like it’s the best way to take your outfits into different seasons and bring in a little something unique.

1 + 2 + 6 + 7: I am obsessing over all things Metier if you couldn’t tell. Last year, I almost got this pouch. Now, I think I’m keen to save up for either this everyday bag (which could also take the place of a Margaux on your wishlist) or this weekender (which would.. be epic). I also adore their card cases and this Cherry shade is doing it for me. I could not discuss this brand without mentioning this perfect clutch, another accessory I am in the market for.
3. Yes, that’s a mini sized Boat and Tote and I feel like it’s only right for me to add one to my collection. I want to eat it!
4. Anastasio Home continues to produce such gorgeous objects. This silver piece caught my eye.
5. If you have ever come across a pair of Jacques Marie Mage glasses, you know the quality they bestow. I own a pair of optical glasses and have been wanting to invest in a pair of their sunglasses. These caught my eye some time ago and I love the light mint hue on the lens.
8. Chanel Beauty is always at the top of my wishlist. I found this newer eyeshadow shade and I think it’s the most gorgeous brownish/red.
9. No, it’s not Tiffany, it’s Madewell
10. Not a Khaite bag, just Madewell again. You’re welcome!!
11. I have been planning all of my outfits around this fun new necklace from Heaven Mayhem. It’s so chic, and reminds me of the famous bean jewelry. The red is my personal favorite. Code: GABRIELLA15

The name on everyone’s lips: Utility

Barn + utility jackets are no strangers to fall, but it’s fun to search for some high and low options as we approach that time.

1. Gap’s version
2. The best things are thrifted, here’s a 1950's Duxbak Utica hunting jacket
3. A good sold out version from Frankie Shop
4. My [cool] uncle told me this is the only “utility” jacket that matters
5. As legitimate as utility could be
6. Free People’s version

Not pictured, but the Doen barn jacket launched and it is perfect (sold out, but available for preorder). Also, one of you told me about this Old Navy barn jacket and it was worth mentioning here!
