Saturday Snack: My New Favorite Sweatshirt, 5 Pairs Of Excellent Summer Sandals, And The Disgusting Book I Can't Stop Talking About
Little gems from around the internet.
REALLY CUTE SHORTS
SO cute! There’s actually a lot of very well-styled and interesting pieces in this weird section on Mango right now. Shorts, $60
A PERFECT SWEATSHIRT
I’m super loyal to my Comfort Colors sweatshirt (navy size M!) BUT! I was just sent this sweatshirt from Richer Poorer and it is…buttery. Spongy. Almost slinky! But, it has a great vintage look, it doesn’t look slinky. It’s amazing. It’s not too hot or thick either, so it’s great for spring. I fucking love it. Richer Poorer, $76
LOOK AT HOW PRETTY THESE EARRINGS ARE
Can you believe? They’re so gorgeous. Sophie Bille Brahe, $2,400
AND OH MAN THIS BAG
It’s perfect. It’s basically two scarves sewn together with a leather base and leather strap, and I love it. Dries van Noten, $765
SANDALS
Far Left: Super simple slides that are a little clunky but not super. J.Crew, $198
Middle: I really love these stringy guys - the string is like a leather rope, and the spongey sole makes them comfy. Ancient Greek Sandals, $270
Right: Oooohhh the color of these! I love the matching sole and suede. Birkenstock 1776, $400
Left: How crazy are these Pucci flip flops! I love them. The sole is the shape of a fish - so silly. Pucci, $480
Right: And oh gosh, what a dream. I have these in red leather, but the navy satin is just…wowowowowow. The Row, $850
THIS FUN LITTLE READ ABOUT LIP INJECTIONS
Apparently the end is neigh for “overfilled” lips! Air Mail calls them “hot dog lips”.
THIS HORRIFYING DISGUSTING BOOK THAT I CAN’T EVEN BELIEVE I’M CONFESSING TO READING YET I CANNOT STOP TALKING ABOUT
Ok, so when I go for long walk lately I like to listen to some super cheesy murdery stalkery also like romance novely book. Essentially trash, because I’m walking. And somewhere in this algorithm of basic millennial girl-ness, this book was recommended to me. I got about fifteen minutes in and was like…I can’t listen to this, I need to read it. The writing is actually good, and the characters are good, but it is the scariest thing I’ve ever read/seen/heard. And it is super violent and disgusting and deals with creepy/awful (kind of more supernatural than anything that probably actually happens) things that happen to kids. It’s like demons scary. I don’t know, I am mortified that I’m sharing this because it’s so violent and awful but also SO GOOD AND I COULDN’T PUT IT DOWN. I couldn’t stop reading it, can’t stop talking about it, I devoured it - like I said, the writing is good but the story is horrific, and you do fall in love with the characters, but at the same time you might have nightmares for the rest of your life and be permanently traumatized. I don’t know…if you like horror, which I guess I do now, you should consider ruining your life with this book.
praying for the end of hot dog lips
I just love so much your complete honesty about being reviled at yourself for loving this book, but absolutely loving it nonetheless. One Amazon reviewer noted "If this turns into a movie, I wouldn't watch it because I value my sleep and sanity. Absolutely amazing." which is high praise indeed 😆 I may be on the waitlist for this book through my local library now!!
