brown boot and a lil red bag

ALSO INSIDE: a red Coach bag, lots of suede, cozy fall TV shows, and a blast from the past (1994 to be exact!)

If you read the title like this… ty u get me 🫶

And happy, happy Friday! We’re sooooo close to true spooky season, I can feel it.

This will be the last ATSC until 11/15 – we will be an hiatus because in my other life, I am in progressive politics and there is a LOT going on ofc. (And this also feels like a good moment to say you can check your voter registration here and potentially win ERAS TOUR tickets by making a plan to vote here!)

I will miss you all 🥲🥲 and see you all very soon (and just in time for Black Friday hehe). AND icymi, the besties over at Landing are coming out with a BRAND NEW PLATFORM called Zeen – and you miiiiiight see back online for a hot sec to celebrate this incredibly exciting new project :)

In other news, September vibe video is FINALLY live on IG and I love her… and I will still be doing one for October dw (as an October libra, I couldn’t not!!).

And now onto the good stuff! Today’s focus will be on two things I am deeply passionate about and spend far too much on…… fall jackets, bags, and shoes :)

Get Thrifty

1. Coach Red Leather Hampton Carryall Bag from Ebay, $50

I mean…… HOW is she only $50??? The burgundy, the horse bit, this is just insane.

2. Kenneth Cole Leather Jacket, Size S from Depop, $25

I have a very similar jacket and I must say – this has 1000% been my most worn item thus far in fall 2024 and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. It’s simply the easiest way to make every outfit look super polished and cool~

3. Le Chateau Brown Suede Bag from Curtsy, $25

Disclosure: I do have suede + water anxiety, but I think this season is going to cure it because the suede is simply too good! One thing I also love about this purse: it actually has SPACE for the things I need to exist in public (i.e. comfort water bottle, 7 lip oils, 3 sunnies, book, other books, etc.).

4. J.Crew Coat, Size 8 from Depop, $45

I couldn’t write this newsletter and not include a delectable find from the king of all fall coats, J.Crew! Price is due to a little discoloration (it’s usually in the $300s) but it looks very slight to me! And worth messaging the seller about :)

B.N.W.T.

1. Cropped Trench Coat from Abercrombie, $120

Ok, I know this one is a little pricier… but I am OBSESSED with the cropped trench! If you have one and want to comment/share your thoughts and how you style it, I would love to hear (and justify myself buying another coat!).

2. Mini Crossbody Bag from Madewell, $98 (ON SALE FOR INSIDERS :) )

When it comes to the suede and studs game, Madewell is KILLING it!! And ofc, I had to include this bag which I think I’ve seen in every single TikTok for the past two weeks.

3. Studded Leather Ballet Flats from Zara, $70

I have looked through SO many studded shoes (and am currently trying out these H&M ones) but if I’m honest… I think these Zara ones with the more subtle stud are my faves??

4. Oversized Icon Denim Jacket from Gap, $59 (ON SALE)

We all know the demin jacket is so back… and this one has that super trendy boxy fit AND it’s on sale AND it’s from the Gap which has truly been popping off at new levels this season. We love!

Spotlight ✨

Same as last week, I want to use this space to share some of my favorite things I read on Substack this past week!

• For my fellow politics girls, if you haven’t seen this story yet, OH my god. Thank god,

  Hmm That's Interesting
  has the debrief. (How is there always a press-candidate affair every political cycle lol)

• Every single rec in today’s

  Downtime
  from
  Alisha Ramos
  just made me feel so cozy and safe!! Highly recommend giving it a peek as you head into the week, especially if you need something new to read or watch :)

• Speaking of cycles (and as a longtime

  Thanks It's From eBay
  stan), I absolutely loved this reflective piece from
  Nora
  <3

• If you’re feeling stuck this fall and need some fall “uniforms” you can just rely on without thinking too hard,

  The Wardrobe Edit
  ’s got you!

• I did not know about this TikTok account but especially as a New Yorker, I NEEDED it!!! Ty

  Embedded
  for bringing it into my life!

Look at this Graph

Ok…. is it happening??? I was about to get rid of some ballet core stuff so I need to know!

All credit, as with most weeks, to our fashion data QUEEN @databutmakeitfashion.

From our lil internal poll, we learned last week that 2/3 of folks are thrifting mostly online and 1/3 are doing it irl – which made me realize, I think I am suddenly a mostly online girlie as well now 🤭

For this last poll before the hiatus… let me know your favorite cozy fall re-watch because I need HELP deciding.

Other Corners of the Internet

• It’s the way I clicked on every single link in this fall clothes thread, oopsie.

• I was honestly never that much of a Gucci fan… but maybe I am now???

• ATSC fave Eli Rallo dropped some important truths about the new Ugg collection (can we just have comfy boots??? do we need to many platform hooves???)

• Old Navy re-issued their collection from 1994, and it’s kinda wild how pretty much every item is very on trend for 2024!

• I fear I have become very, very into the “worry stone” necklaces that do kinda look like Elsa Peretti to me? And, you know, I love a good piece of fidget jewelry.

• Last week’s most-clicked links were the Old Navy Car Coat (SAME y’all, did anyone get it??), this fab OOTD video, and the Uniqlo ribbed pants that are back in stock now!!

That’s all for now! I will miss you all very much, and I hope you have a fabulous spooky season! I will still be active on IG and my DMs are still always open 🫶🫶
