Saturday Snack: An Excellent Size-Inclusive Dress, A Winning Hostess Gift, Vintage Party Favors, etc etc.
Precious gems from around the internet.
Here are a few things I saw and liked this week:
VERY CUTIE PIE MARY JANES
Delightful, right? Cotton with a contrast trim, and under two hundred bucks. Vibi Venezia, $140
EXCELLENT DRESS IN SIZES 2-22
Ok, so imagine this without the belt. Maybe with a blazer, or a cotton knit tied around the waist, or worn over it. It has a really nice vintage quality (I just got it in red, but I like it in green just as much), and I think it will be beautiful all through holiday parties, and then into spring. Rixo, $320
GROWN UP SCHOOLGIRL SKIRT
I love the idea of a pleated skirt, but I usually feel a bit….costumey wearing one. They feel a bit too on the nose school girl for me. But this one is a bit longer, and is fitted at the top to feel a bit more grown-up and sophisticated. Fax Copy Express, $335
THE! LOEWE DRESS
At least for me. I am in love with this blur dress - it’s so special, so unique, so beautiful. I want it desperately. This is the kind of thing that I’d treasure forever. It’s so tied to now, so I’d likely put it to the side for two seasons, then wear it all the time. Loewe, $2,900
OK THIS IS GOING TO BE A LOT OF LOEWE
This hysterical fish bag from the Paula’s Ibiza line! It is so silly, but it’s also so beautifully made. It’s a perfect, totally strange bag. Loewe x Paula’s Ibiza, $850
THIS IS SILLY
Ok, this is silly, but I’m throwing a halloween party with two of my mom friends from my son’s school, and I was looking at Etsy for paper napkins…and there’s like this HUGE stash of vintage paper party napkins there! Like these from The Simpsons, these very pretty rice paper ones with strawberries, here’s one from The Munsters, these are my favorites, and here are some cool, Memphis design-inspired ones. How fun to have these at your party for cocktails?
AN UNDER $250 LAMP FROM ONE OF MY FAVORITE DESIGNERS
I love Matilda Goad! She did a little collab for Anthropologie, and I just love this lamp. I love Lamp! Surprisingly, Anthropologie has a lot of great home stuff. Matilda Goad & co x Anthropologie, $220
A++ HOSTESS GIFT
How happy would you be if someone brought you a bottle of Loewe Tomato Leaf scented hand soap the next time you had a party? THIS is what I want. THIS is the thing. I know this is a Loewe party, but Loewe is Loewe for a reason and that reason is because everything is excellent. Loewe, $77
Ta-da! There we are.
