Phoebe Philo's next delivery, Glossier's berry launch, and Veja's repair service. Plus, insights on WNBA brand partnerships, belts as THE accessory and eco-conscious shopping.
Love the point about about cost per wear and the Zimmerman dress! This is why I don't believe that one approach to sustainability can apply to everyone. I don't believe you have to spend $463 to be sustainable either - you can find cute styles and great fabrications at stores like Madewell, Target, or Faithfull the Brand at a much lower price point. I wrote about my thought process in a recent post (linked below), but if I only had $10 to spend on an item, my thought process would be:
1) Do I need this item? (Maybe I could rewear a different dress?)
2) What is my budget for this item, considering how often I will wear it? (In this case, we are limited to $10, but if you had a $100 saved up, you could decide to spend less on the dress because it may not get that much wear)
3) What is the best quality item I can get for this price? (How can I make my $10 stretch as far as possible? I'd focus on secondhand, good quality fabrication, a style that would be versatile for many scenarios in the future)
wow, the article on the nancy gonzalez case was fascinating, ty for sharing! had seen the headline but didn't know the details - find it a bit shocking that she was in jail in colombia for over a year before sentencing here, for permits on bags that weren't actually illegal to sell
Loving the WSJ piece on golf fits. As someone who has been bitten hard again by the golf bug I remain so disappointed by the offerings of the standard golf pro shop. I live in Nashville and have gone to a trunk show for Honors that is referenced in the piece and it is great stuff. Excited to see more brands come in and offer high quality fabrics and good fits! Next up we need to focus on better hats for the course because my face can’t handle all this sun!
A big yes to adding a belt as 'waist jewelry'.👌🏻 Love the collective ESP when a great idea is in the air. Sarah you read my mind, thank you for this cool belt roundup!
I wear belts nearly every day, so I'm happy to see that they've become more appreciated again. I have a few from my mom from the 80s that I've been un-brave about wearing. This post is inspiring me to bring them out!

Thank you for this! Yes a great way to approach.
How about each time I mention “bag charms” I’m required to add one more…it will also help with building upper body strength. 😂😂😂
Love seeing the Vogue quote!

this is perfect to be turned into a movie!
ahaha yes literally waiting for netflix adaptation!
belts AND bag charms oh shiiiiiiii !
😆 written like that going back to one of my first favorite accessories I ever owned. A white belt with tiny holes you could hang charms off of!!
Oh man, I have sorely missed out on that level of personalization!!
Thank you so much for including my guide here!! You’re the best! Xx
Sending to anyone asking me. I could use a self-care moment and I love the bags and starling charm clasp.
You deserve!! Thank you so much!❤️😭

I'm so into all the brands branching out into women's athletic wear that is fashionable and functional.

Kicking myself for not taking rumblings of WNBA coming to the forefront seriously a few months ago! On the search for the next...maybe golf?
