INSIDE: bag charms, a Coach denim masterpiece, and the graphic tee renaissance

Friends, idk about you all, but somehow this 4-day week still almost took me tf out. But we made it to Friday and I’m so glad you’re here!

(^^I’m having some kind of Substack glitch but the button right above should be Subscribe!! hopefully it works lol)

Another very exciting thing, ATSC is verryyyyy close to hitting 100 followers/subscribers on both Instagram and Substack, which is wild serendipity. I am so grateful to be in this position just about a month after starting – and SO thankful to each of you!! And stay tuned, there will be a lil giveaway when we hit 100 to celebrate 👀

And speaking of the gram, the Gemini guide guide is here! Much love to y’all from another air sign ♊︎

Now onto the good stuff!

Get Thrifty

1. Urban Outfitters Women's Blue and White Summer Set, Size S from Depop, $55

I CANNOT believe this hasn’t been snatched up yet… mostly I can’t believe I haven’t yet lol. It’s simply the perfect summer set!!!

2. Sardine Graphic Tee, All Sizes Available from Depop, $23

I feel like I’m seeing more and more people selling graphic tees they’re printing themselves on Depop and I’m SO into it. I feel like this adorable lil tee would otherwise be like $80 at a bigger store!!!

3. Maje Tank Top, Size 6 from Vestaire, $28

Ok, this is the week of me wanting to buy everything I drop here lol, but I’ll let y’all go first! I just think this with jeans and sandals and a lil woven bag would be incredible. I also think it could work for a bunch of folks’ sizes, it would just change the fit!

4. Coach Nolita 1 Signature Chambray Denim Mini Purse from eBay, $78

Wow, the pop of red?? The denim?? I do not think this purse could get any cuter.

B.N.W.T.

1. Bowtie No Sauce Pls Necklace from Introspection, $60

I just discovered this brand, and I LOVE it. I just ordered their martini necklace lol and will report back – but I also think this lil bowtie, mixed metal situation is perfect.

2. Low Rise Denim Mini Skirt from Glassons, $40

My obsession with Glassons continues (we’re at 5 years and counting lol)… and I’ve decided I’m leaning all the way into leopard print. My take is that we’ll definitely be able to use it this fall too, and somehow, leopard print only seems to go out of style every now and again but it always comes back.

3. ASOS Design linen-look tie front halter top from ASOS, $35

My Euro summer trip is officially booked, and this halter top is at the TOP of the list for assembling my Euro-tripping capsule! Also, let me know if you guys wanna see more travel guides 👀👀👀

4. Handmade Cute Clear Cherry/Strawberry Charm from Etsy, $9

I hear we’re doing bag charms this summer!! This felt like a good baby step for me to see if I could get into the ~trend~

Spotlight ✨

Earlier this week, as I was going into my pre-bed social spiral, I stumbled across a slow fashion website called Anomable – and I thought the business model/structure is really interesting.

It’s basically an interactive process where customers can vote on styles/patterns they like and then pre-order the piece, which ensures there’s pretty much no wasted product. I’ll insert a screenshot from the site here that will explain it better than I can lol ⬇️

I think this is a really, really cool idea. They have some pieces that you can already order (and then they’ll make it). But they also currently have a ton of sketches with fabric samples that you can vote on if you’d want to buy it (like this!)

And here’s an example of a piece you can currently order on the site:

As you can see, the pieces are definitely on the pricier side. It is, however, incredibly cool that it is made with entirely sustainable practices and just for you. And I really love the voting process, getting to learn about the fabrics, etc. I would say if you have a special occasion coming up, definitely check out Anomable – and keep an eye on their brand in general!

And if you’re like me and you just like voting a lot, you can vote on their styles here :)

Look at this Graph

The graphic tee is BACK, BABY! Readers who have been here a while probably realized before I did how into them I’m getting lol. But more than 220,200 sharing their tee designs this month!! I think the graphic tee renaissance in the TikTok era could be absolutely huge.

Other Corners of the Internet

• I have absolutely no idea how I’d transport these seashell glasses… but they are at the absolute top of my Pinterest board right now.

• I have watched this girlie’s breakdown of the Glossier brand (and all of her brand videos) too many times, they are SO good. Side note, I think this is actually a brand account for the drink Aura Bora, which is GENIUS.

• Ganni’s founder is sharing his playbook on how luxury brands can become way more sustainable (which we really, really need them to do!!)

• Y’all know I love thanks it's from ebay and the fruit edition this week is just SO, SO GOOD. Summer picnics, here we come!!

• The top links in last week’s newsletter were Lucky Sweater (yay! if you’re on the app, say hi! i’m @lritz), Queen Madeleine White’s See You Tomorrow launch, and, for the second week in a row, the NYC coffee graphic tee!

And that’s all I’ve got! I hope everyone ends May on a fabulous note tonight and I’ll see you next week 🤍
