Saturday Snack: Things For Men That Are Really For You, Summer Beauty Body Booty, A 90s Style Tank, etc etc etc
Little tidbits from around the internet.
Earlier today, my good friend and I were texting about what’s going on in LA and how scary things are right now, and we agreed that of all the nightmares we’ve experienced in the last few years, this feels different and worse because it’s so cruel. My wonderful, silly, fabulous dad is from Venezuela, and I took it for granted how I never worried about his safety growing up. The raids in LA are horrifying and heartbreaking (meanwhile, as of today, life is going on basically as usual for most of the city - it’s not the disaster it looks like on the news at all), and I’m really lost for words. I’m proud of LA, proud to live in a place that values diversity, empathy and compassion, and I hope that we’re able to continue working to protect our neighbors and the people we love. Please pass along this information to anyone you know who might be at risk, and if you’d like to help, consider a donation to Esperanza Immigrant Rights Project. No human is illegal.
Ok, and so - here’s a recap of what you might have missed here this week:
Last weekend, I did a round up of swimsuits for ~ladies of a certain age~ inspired by my very fancy mom.
On Tuesday, I looked at How To Style a Button-Down, my most-worn article of clothing.
Friday, Victoria Lampley of and I went live to talk about her style, jewelry, grief - and then! As happens when you’re live, I had to jump off in a rush because I needed to pick up my kids from school unexpectedly.
But the biggest news! I’m opening a store! This fall in Beverly Hills. Read all about it here <3
Ok and here we are!
FATHER’S DAY THINGS YOU SHOULD BUY FOR YOUR HUSBAND BUT ARE REALLY FOR YOU
We all know father’s day gifts are really for you - right? Even if you do actually get your gift for and intend to leave it with the dad in your life, these work either way.
Swim trunks! Everyone needs swim trunks. I love them for myself for summer shorts, but obviously my husband needs them too. The striped ones are nice and neutral without being boring, but these from Kapital are nuts and I loooove them for myself! The Gucci too. Woweeeeeee, what fun summer shorts!
Or! A lovely polo/rugby shirt. The linen one from Orlebar Brown is very classic, while the striped Polo is more fun. If you’re really looking to go for it, check out this Loewe version!
This knit Bode bag is terrific, and something the whole family can use! I also propose getting these sunglasses and leaving them in your car all the time - again, so both of you can use them! And last, I love, love, love this preppy Polo hat…once again…you both can use it!
BEAUTY STUFF FOR YOUR BOD
I very recently started paying attention to my body skin, and for the first time in my life I have something of a routine for it. This is especially important in the summer when my limbs are out. I use this moisturizing body wash, which can also help protect against photoaging, and then this splash salve - an in-shower moisturizing balm that you rub all over damp skin and just leave on (this stuff is amazing). Then before bed, I use this retinol body serum a few times a week, and I try and dry brush with this once or twice a week too. If I’m wearing a lot of sunscreen on my body, I use this from Soft Services in the shower to scrub it all off.
A GORGEOUS KNIT SKIRT
There’s a matching tank too! Me + Em skirt, $325
THE GREATEST WIDE-LEG TROUSER IS BACK IN STOCK
They are honestly the best, they’re basically always sold-out, they’re my favorites for wide-leg pleat-front trousers, and they’re currently back in stock in black. Go, go, go! Kallmeyer, $495
THE!!!!! SUMMER SANDAL!
I’ve been waiting for Dr. Scholl’s to really truly come back for a while now, and it seems like now is the time, via this version from Miu Miu. These are heeeeaven and so silly, perfect for this summer with a slip dress or cropped kick flares. Miu Miu, $875
THE GREATEST BELT
This knit rope belt with tassels, it is so good. Over a dress, over a sweater with wide leg pajama pants, with refular trousers, it is so beautiful, so special, and it comes in black, navy, and silver. Attersee, $395
There we are.
