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,…

Rag & Bone Denim Shorts Review: Ugh…
There’s this pair of Rag & Bone denim short shorts, the Mila shorts in “Moss,” that I love. If they were a child, they’d be entering grade 4 — like, they’re around 10 years old. Rag & Bone discontinued the Mila, but I still bought a “reserve” pair on eBay, just in case my first…

Things I Would Buy: If I was going to a Taylor Swift concert
Last week was fraught with drama surrounding Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour. The Verified Fan presale felt like the Hunger Games (with nosebleed tickets akin to Peta’s pity bread tossed at Katniss in the rain), and the Capital One presale was like a WWE fight (except it wasn’t supposed to be rigged)… Then the week…

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…

Things I Would Buy: If I had $800 lying around to spend on a Jane Birkin-inspired dress dupe
Item(s): Aimee dress from Dôen. Reason(s): Jane Birkin wore this spectacular, shiny, and tiered maxi dress in the early 70’s while dancing with her daughter. When I saw the photos, over 40 years later, I was mesmerized. It took 10 years since I first saw the photos to figure out that Jane’s mesmerizing dress was…

Miu Miu Ballet Flats Sizing Review: tbh, not worth it
Right now ballet flats seem to be a “new” trend for fashion magazines to cover. … namely Miu Miu ballet flats. There’s something about Miu Miu’s (relatively) “ground breaking” micro skirts that launched hundreds (OK, that’s a hyperbole) of articles about the item they were paired with: Delicate ballet flats. They aren’t the then-classic Miu…

What I bought this week: We Are Doré
Item(s): Le Trio from We Are Doré, which includes… Le Baume, Le Cleanser, and La Crème. Reason: I enjoyed Garance Doré’s blog (when it was a thing) and her book (still in publication). … and I also really enjoy French pharmacies. It’s true — if I’m in France or a French off-shoot, like St. Barths,…

What I bought this week: Guppyfriend Washing Bag
Item(s): Guppyfriend Washing Bag Reason: … because microplastics are in synthetic clothing and that’s not OK! Seriously, I didn’t know this before. … but, it’s true. When you throw synthetic fibre clothing in the washing machine (at whatever temperature) microplastics/fibres are released and then the grey water from our washing machines basically is drained into…

How to Shop Vintage Online… and actually find what you’re looking for
There’s a lot to be said about the good of “shopping vintage.” From the environmental concerns of fast fashion… Fast fashion and synthetic fibres account for 35% of microplastics and that a single wash of synthetic clothing can release over 700 thousand microplastics into our oceans). … to the idea of “helping” the discarded clothing…
