5 things I'm thinking about this week
Alison Pegg
Longer Days are here. And so is the return of cold and snow. Go figure.
When temps dip below freezing like this, I turn to fashion and beauty wanderlust, browsing through page upon page of fashion inspiration for times a little more fabulous when temps are even a little bit warmer.
It’s this wanderlust that has me thinking about these 5 things this week.
Becky Malinsky’s Fashion Week recap: I haven’t made my way through the FW23 collections yet, but from what I have, I’m really excited for fashion this fall. Long, unfussy silhouettes, gorgeous draping, and a general sense that the gimmicks and Y2K trends of recent years are on their way out. No one sums up the FW23 collections better than Becky Malinsky in her newsletter this past Sunday. Like her, my vibe can lean “uptown girl” and her take on the trends of next fall are second to none.
Khaite vibes without the price: Speaking of fashion week, there’s no hotter brand in fashion right now than Khaite. I’m always drawing outfit inspiration from their looks, but the price point of this cool-girl brand is quite a bit more than I’m willing to pay. That’s why I couldn’t click this Who What Wear article, What to Buy From Nordstrom If Your Vibe Is Khaite But Your Budget Is $100, fast enough, especially since it features one of my faves, Nordstrom. You can bet the Ganni belt featured here is already in my wishlist.
David Shrigley Limited Edition Posters: Copenhagen is on my bucket list. From the art, to fashion, to food, to views - I’m dreaming of a trip to this Danish cultural center. One of the places I can’t wait to visit is this Shrig Shop, the shop from artist David Shrigley. The art is contemporary yet whimsical, quirky yet cute, and I love the simplicity of it. Sunday the shop dropped another set of limited edition posters and I finally was able to get my hands on one. Be Nice to the Sharks (above) will soon be mine, I’m thinking I might put it on the wall in my office.
Soma Bra Sale: Why is underwear shopping so frustrating? I wasn’t really in the market for any new bras but was served an Instagram ad for Soma’s $29 bra sale and figured since there’s one near me I’d go check it out. I’m so glad I did. I ended up grabbing 2 of the enbliss racerback bralettes, it’s so comfortable (i’ve already worn it!) and it’s perfect for WFH days where I’m most likley wearing a sweatshirt or tee and don’t need full support. Highly recommend, especially if you can snag one on sale.
Georg Jensen Moonlight Grapes Sterling Silver Ear Cuff Stud Earrings: it’s only fitting that my final entry this week is the most wanderlust of this list. These earrings are everything. They’re a modern, contemporary ear cuff that manage to be cool and elegant at the same time. In sterling silver they are perfection.
