Fall Is Defrosting
Yaps, Fall Staples, Chuck Bass's Wedding & More
Happy summer-is-almost over, eve! Sorry to all the summer lovers nothing against the season besides that I strongly dislike it. However, I wish only good vibes on you all so I hope you’re all ending the summer in a fun way, or as the girlies say — living your best soft lives. But remember, Fall is defrosting…as we speak, Lorelai & Rory Gilmore are getting ready to re-enter our homes and take over our Sunday’s.
Let’s get intoooo it
Because Fall is around the corner (I could shed tears of joy) and sticky, humid summer is on its way out, here’s a little transitional weather roundup of staples I’ve added to my closet the past few weeks and have been loving.
This vegan suede baseball hat for those didn’t wash my hair day moments
The perfect flats do not exist because no matter which pair you buy they will blister your feet during that initial phase BUT these ones from Quince come pretty close to perfect for every day work vibes (true to size)
Can never have enough white t-shirts especially when your clothes normally eat first but this oversized one from Uniqlo and this insanely soft layering version from Aritzia are re-purchased more often that I’d like to admit
I’m unwell at everyone calling “denim” a trend this season like ???? sirs and madams, it’s denim — when is it not in style? Anyways, I digress to this oversized denim shirt from Good American that is perfect with just about everything or this budget-friendly version from H&M
Speaking of denim, I really didn’t want to love AGOLDE jeans because once I like a brand of jeans that is pretty much it…however this pair has been a repeat offender in every weekly outfit rotation
This cardigan feels like it should be worn vacationing in South of France but the reality is that it was worn to sit at a desk for 8 hours. Still chic though!
A little cropped transitional tank top for those high-waisted pant moments. Also H&M has sus quality clothing most of the times but this one sits really well on the neck unlike some other shirts from my closet that I’ve had to purge after a few wears
Your annual reminder that Charles & Keith make the best penny loafers and this new shade of brown is 10/10 (I have the Chalk shade too and they match everything)
Someone asked about my current bracelet stack — one thing about me is this changes daily because I can never wear one piece of jewelry (including my engagement ring ooooops :) but here is a roundup of what’s currently in the rotation
Switching over to beauty reaaaal quick because needed to share
This rosemary-based shampoo/conditioner from Necessaire (obviously gravitated to the packaging because its CHIC) but such a great wash and not drying at all. Loving the shampoo slightly more than the conditioner (smells great). Currently 20% off!
If you’re not new here you know how much I love this Divi Post-Wash Scalp Serum for keeping the scalp build up free and also for hair growth. I tried their new dry shampoo and as much as I wanted to LOVE it eeeek it did not work for dark hair — the white streaks were real. Divi if you’re listening, pls fix because the scalp serum is incredible
TIL (Today I Learned) Setting sprays and fixing sprays are two different things — you want a setting spray while you’re doing makeup to make your skin look dewy/glowy/hydrated AND you want a fixing spray when you want your makeup to last you all day and not budge from your face (my favorite ever ever ever fixing spray is the one from OneSize)
The Simple Life with Paris & Nicole coming back to TV really means Y2K is back (and better than ever)
Sonam Kapoor is forever that girl when it comes to personal style but this crochet-blouse sari moment further reinforces that no one does it like the Kapoor sisters (besides Masaba, who just dropped one of the best bridal collections I’ve seen in a while catered to the new age bride)
Gossip Girl fans everywhere unwell at this reunion at Chuck Bass’s wedding (also Chuck Bass marrying Amy Jackson, a semi-Bollywood star is such a trip)
Hanumankind, India’s newest rapper (the name is giving Monkey Man movie energy) who went international likely thanks to TikTok is permanently playing in my mind. his new single actually so good - very much a workout playlist addition
That’s all for this week — thanks for being here and reading. Hope you share, subscribe, and continue supporting!
