Sale PSA: Black Nike Waffle One sneakers, now just $60, a pretty smocked dress from Proenza, now $150, and braided mules from Roger Vivier, now under $350.
1. This week, sharing this pretty bag from Bottega Veneta.
I like the patent! I want a patent bag. I’ve been circling various BV bags for it feels like years and have yet to pull the trigger. But I do have a soft spot for patent – if you’ve spotted any nice patent bags please let me know! If Hermes ever did one I would be in trouble.
2. While browsing online I randomly found this piece, via The Cut, on how to shop sustainably. I have thoughts on this but have to organize. More to come!

3. Sharing this article, via the NYT, about Tik Tok creators who are making videos on fine jewelry.
4. Fellow worshippers of Kate Moss, she has a new “What’s In My Bag” (OMG!) video for Vogue France. Her vintage denim Birkin! OMG. I also like that her makeup bag with Kate in gold looks like something you would have found at Limited Too.
5. This week, I read The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry, by Gabrielle Zevin.

I liked this a lot. Actually more than her more recent book (Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow) which is how I found Zevin in the first place. Just a charming (but not too twee), well written novel with no magic or thriller elements. If you’ve been looking for a good fiction read, I highly recommend The Storied Life of A.J. Firky.

She pulled a diamond necklace from Johnny Depp’s bum? Say what? Lol

I hope you find your patent bag! I love it from afar…I am always scared I’ll get contact transfer on it and patent can’t be cleaned 🙁

I think that she is promoting her Cosmoss brand, so we are seeing more of her. Do you think the gua sha really works? The laniege lip mask is like a cult brand. Seems like I see it being use by celebs and make up gurus alike. I have yet to try both. Have you tried both? Would love to know your opinions on both.
