I'm so inspired to knit a scarf like yours for next fall/winter! Looks so chic and adds the perfect amount of colour

Anyone can learn, truly! But then again it can be incredibly tedious so I guess it depends on if you like having repetitive hobbies haha

haha I like them! I think the hardest part with any new hobby is starting. Do you have any beginner friendly recommendations? I know nothing.

Yes! The Sophie scarf which is both easy and turns into something you'll actually use

100% might need to get that air filter just for the PM 2.5 tracker. Who knew Paris had such a problem with it!

It's worth it and it's also surprisingly quiet too!

Thank you!! She had so many beautiful items at the Christmas market. It was hard to only purchase one, but I'm so glad I went with the beaded necklace. I've worn it so much since.

I love and had been admiring that aritzia scarf! so good. My recent 10s: my Citizen barrel jeans, and this pretty 18k gold chain I splurged on (working on that necklace stack, haha): https://www.lilmilan.com/products/boystears?variant=36242358304930

6/10: Rag & Bone trouser shorts! I desperately want some summery trouser shorts but you can see the pocket outline through the material... why are white shorts so hard to get right?!

What color are you interested in? I keep hearing about Citizen of Humanity jeans and I really need to try them! Are they the Ayla jeans? Also, love the chain! I've been working on my stack and it's a very slow moving process. One day it will be "complete" lol

Oh that's a bummer! Have you checked out Sezane's options? I saw they had an off white pair that they just released. I bought striped linen/cotton blend trousers there last summer and they were my absolutely favorite. Can't wait to rewear them!

The grey market!!! Thank you for giving me a word for Cettire and the homework of reading that NYT piece. I’ve long wondered how they can operate.

PS- can your girl get a link for the aritzia scarf?! You have sold me on it!!

I also need to read more about it! Up until I did research on Cettire, I had no idea Farfetch was also operating on grey market!! I just assumed it was another retailer.

I swear they were on the website a few days ago when I looked, but it looks like they've been removed from their website. I did find this one Poshmark and it's NWT! Not sure what color you were interested in, but this one is grey: https://go.shopmy.us/p-16427351. What color were you thinking? I'll do some hunting to see if I can find other colors.

Wow I love this bag! I have been looking for a shape like the Row Banana or the Khaite Augustina but because you can get that shape everywhere, I struggle to justify the price for it. This one seems great. How's the leather quality? I'm now looking at Wandler's site and they have a lot of nice pieces.

I totally get that! I haven't tried The Row's or Khaite's version but I personally think Wandler's quality is superb. I bought my first Wandler piece about 2.5 years ago and it's held up so well. It's one of my most worn structured purses. I recently talked about it here: https://oferodrig.substack.com/i/151731496/a-fun-want.

Maggie is the second purchase I make from Wandler and the leather has softened and worn so beautiful. The touch feel gets better with every wear. I'm not saying its scratch resistant, but for how often I've worn it I'm surprised it looks brand like new. Since I wear it so much it's one of the few bags that doesn't make it in to the dust bag. So all in all, I highly recommend! I can definitely see myself adding more of their bags to my collection in the future.

OK, I had no idea your red scarf was from Aritzia!! I was admiring it in your previous posts and was wondering where it was from. Such a good buy! I think Angie has they grey one, which was also influencing me, so now I definitely want one for next fall-winter. Always love your ratings - they're so genuine. Your trench coat is a stunner! x

Yes, she does!! I was eyeing it and then I saw she shared her grey one and it happened to be the same one. She has great recs!! I happened to be walking by the store in NYC and found one left in stock. Thank you so much, I'm trying to do my own version of yours "what is it worth it?" I love yours so much.

I enjoyed your post today! I *finally* purchased the black ballets last December and I love them so much - I really questioned myself paying that much for a simple ballet...but the suede, the cut, the little padding makes them worthwhile. Ssense has them for 25% , I'm getting the brown now. I wish I was bold enough to buy the red!

Thank you so much, Lori!! It makes me so happy to hear that you loved them as much as I do. I have been getting so much wear out of them now that its warmer. Also, thank you on the heads up on Ssense! I have been eyeing the red and I'm starting to wondering if it's time 😅

I got the brown - I may think about and go back to the red.

Do it :) 25% off is really good!

The Buck Mason trench is a dream and your notes on the Adidas Spezials were so helpful because I am deciding which sneakers to buy as a sneaker-hating person who still needs comfort!

I am so in love with it. The fit is perfection!! Is there a certain style you're going for? Have you tried Salomon's? I have yet to try, but I see them often around Paris. I'd love a rain resistance tennis shoe and those might fit the bill a bit more.
