dancin' to the baby blues 🩵
ALSO INSIDE: so much Damson Madder, an anklet that is pure camp imo, and more
Happy FRIDAY!!! We made it (and I think this newsletter is actually going to go out today, so we have some goooooood momentum heading into the weekend!).
Tiny announcement from me here: some of y’all know in addition to this, I work full-time in progressive politics, and I actually just launched a brand-new, bi-weekly newsletter, sharing key headlines and updates and things to watch in politics, social media + tech, pop culture, and more. It’s called Open Tabs if you want to check it out :)
And in other happy news, I’m back on my
game :) It’s been a minute, and it felt so, so good to make my silly lil collage. This one goes out to the first favorite color I ever had: baby blue! So glad she’s getting another moment.
The full list of products in this collage is right here, and a few stand-outs for me were:
The slouchy vegan leather tote ($50 – on sale)
The Sam Edelman sneaks with the white detailing ($65 – on sale)
And as much as I love baby blue… I want to know: what other colors are you guys loving? What do you think July and August will bring us in color trends? Let us know below!
And now, onto more good stuff…
B.N.W.T.
1. Paracord Vert Tie Anklet from Dorsey, $60
I think this is such a fun take on summer camp style. Shout-out to
for sharing!
2. Sleeveless Crinkle Top from Weekday, $50
Out of nowhere, I’ve been getting a bunch of ads for this brand Weekday. It seems super cool, does any have any reviews/experience with them??
3. Japna Square Neck Mini Shift Dress from T.J. Maxx, $17
Never. Over. Tomato. Print. (sorry!)
4. Nanette Lepore Career Denim Jacket from T.J. Maxx, $30
I am still on the hunt for the best light, semi-casual, going-out jacket for summer, and I think this one is one of the strongest contenders yet.
5. ASOS DESIGN One-Shoulder Neck Scarf Midi Dress from ASOS, $50
I will always be confused about this: I never like ASOS very much in the winter, but their summer stuff is so good.
Get Thrifty
1. Damson Madder Women's Button Down Shirt from Depop, Size 6, $45
I went on a HUNT this week to find us some like-new Damson Madder to thrift!
2. Damson Madder Women's White and Cream Vest from Depop, Size S, $40
The DM detailing on this between the stripes is SO GOOD, one of y’all might have to try to beat me to this 👀
3. Damson Madder Women's T-shirt from Depop, Size 6, $50
This is the Limoncello Tee that I know a bunch of us were interested in a few weeks back.
4. Damson Madder Sydney Coastal Cargo Pants from Poshmark, Size 12, $45
I wanted these pants SO bad last summer, if these were my size, I would have snatched them right up. (Also, you can use my code, LRITZZ, on Poshmark for money off, I think??)
5. Damson Madder Embroidered Linen Shirt from Poshmark, Size 6, $75
A DM classic at this point.
Shop Small 4 Ever
1. Dark Brown Vegan Leather Baguette Bag from Bordeaux Bag, $32 (on sale)
I am in shock at the price of this bag – and it looks like they have a ton in a similar vein.
2. Colorful Charm Necklace from Avadore Studios, $39
Last year, it was fun graphic tees… this year, we’re not letting an ATSC go by without a fun statement-ish necklace! And they can make it in tons of colors, it looks like.
3. Iridescent White Opal and Gold Flower Coasters from Jasmin Renee Art, $17
Could be a fab summer housewarming party gift.
4. Wine & Cheese Toothpick Holder from Treehouse, $11
And I literally despise rosé but love this!
5. Midi Heirloom Claw from Machete, $18 (sale)
Y’all know how I feel about a pretty claw clip.
More Fun Stuff
Some of my favorite Substack reads recently include:
- ’s take on the outfit of the summer (it might surprise you a bit! I agree, but she captured it way better than I was!)
“Summer Fridays are BACK!” from
, which I just discovered and love! I’m back home next week and can’t wait to try some of their recs!“What I Actually Bought #097” from
because I haven’t posted about them in a min, but I do, in fact, read everything they write and love their app! If you want a ref code for it, let me know :)))
Ok, guys… what do we think about the Boatkin?
And, while we’re here, what do we think about glitter knees?
Brb, need to pre-order this RIGHT now.
The most-clicked links from the last ATSC were:
the butter yellow oversized linen shirt from Zara ($46) – for the 4th or 5th time, I think!
My Nuuly ref code hehe (hope you guys are enjoying!)
- ’s piece, “How to start posting content without wanting to die,” which I’ve heard from other folks was also really resonant with them!
That’s all for now. Ily, see you next week.
<3 <3 yesss we love your content on Selleb
Ok the tooth pick holders 👀 & TY for the shout out! 🥰
