What I bought: Sephora sale & a new trash can
Item(s): Prada Amber perfume, Clinique Black Honey, Glossier After Baume, and a new trash can Reason: I’ve been thinking about Prada’s Amber perfume since my bottle broke during a move in 2009. It’s a beautifully rich, yet fresh, but warm at the same time scent that makes me wonder why it took 15 years to…

What I bought: Prada Fringe Tunic
Item(s): Prada Spring/Summer 2007 (Look 11) Fringe Tunic Reason: I’ve wanted this top since it flew down the runway on Sasha P. in September 2006. It’s subtle, but catches the eye. It’s a statement, but oddly understated. … and Ashley Olsen wore it to, like, a gas station* in 2007. Un-employed 15/16 year old me…

What I bought this week: MOTHER crochet top, because…
Item(s): MOTHER The Open Back Tank Top Reason: … is this enough of a reason? View this post on Instagram A post shared by Taylor Swift (@taylorswift) Seriously though, I love MOTHER denim and the 1970’s vibe of Taylor Swift’s new album, Midnights. … I also have a feeling that I am going to love…

What I bought this week: Glossier Deodorant
Item(s): Glossier Deodorant in You, Orange Blossom Neroli, and Sandstone. Reason: I (accidentally) switched to natural deodorant in 2021. Caleb and I were meeting his folks for lunch in Bozeman during the summer and I realised that I forgot to put deodorant on when we left our house. We were early, so he waited at…

What I bought this week: Goop Goods
Item(s): Manta hair brush and Goop GoodGenes Lift + Depuff Eye Masks. Reason: I’m actually not sure why I bought a new hair brush. … especially because, at $30, I think it’s the most expensive hair brush I’ve ever owned. It feels like one of those soft bristle baby brushes that you probably got when…

Sold out? Read this first, then ask Gab
If you read this blog, you know how much I love sourcing something “hard to get” myself. From Chanel Jade nail polish in 2009 to the 2022 Loewe x Spirited Away collaboration, the thrill of finding something that’s “hard to get” by myself is unbeatable. … until, I was looking for a gift for my…

What I Bought This Year: Best of 2022
2022: Did it go by in an instant? Or was it a slow burn that sped up at the end? Either way (and personally speaking), this year was filled with Mt. Everest-like highs (visiting Montreal after ~10 years and how my husband immediately took to our puppy, Puddles!) and Davey Jones’s Locker lows (my dad…

What I Bought This Week: Cosmoss by Kate Moss
Item(s): Face Cream, Face Cleanser, and Sacred Mist from Cosmoss, by Kate Moss. Reason: Cosmoss is Kate Moss’ inaugural wellness line! Most of the ingredients are either moss extract (Cosmoss/Kate Moss, get it?) or CBD (which is snake-oil imo). … but, I bought it because of Kate Moss. As a fan for almost 2 decades,…

What I bought this week: Glossier You Candle
Item(s): You Candle from Glossier. Reason: Just FYI, this would have also covered the Glossier Holiday Kits, but I ordered the You candle two weeks before the Holiday Kits came out… and my order for their Holiday Kits has been cancelled FIVE times and their customer service STILL hasn’t gotten back to me about how…

What I bought this week: A.P.C. x Jane Birkin T-Shirt
Item(s): A.P.C. x Jane Birkin London t-shirt, in white. Reason: … because Jane Birkin, of course. Since it’s a seasonal item (or “collaboration”) and not a standard t-shirt you can buy at any time, I didn’t include it in my white t-shirt challenge. I don’t love buying expensive t-shirts… and this APC x Jane Birkin…
