Happy Friday, friends! If you’re like me and are traveling a bunch this month… I hope you have better weather luck than I have. And if you’re in the path of the crazy weather this week, don’t forget sunscreen and lots of water! If you need something to do inside… I can’t recommend this season of Love Island US enough (even though the drama is SO HIGH).
Luckily, I did manage to make it to Chicago for this weekend, so this newsletter is a bit shorter than usual. But I do finally have a pic of the incredibly cosy + well-made crewneck that the lovely ladies of Phia sent over. If you haven’t checked out their second-hand shopping tool yet, what are you doing!!
Also, I’m headed to Portland, Maine, for the first time next week. If you have any recommendations, I would LOVE them!

More Fun Stuff
Some Substack reads I enjoyed recently:
the must-read “How To Beat The RealReal (From A Former Employee)” from Taylor Barnett of Driving Shoes
This incredibly cool piece called “Substack Made Me Wear It” (where 5 Substackers style the author) from Tina Boetto of Semi-Sustainable & Indyx
(shameless self-promo, I’m sorry!!), but “today in tabs: the little elves of soft power”, the latest installment of my politics + pop culture newsletter, Open Tabs!
If you are interested in the history of pilates + how it came to be (and also major body positivity!).
Say this again louder for the people in the back.
The most-clicked links in the last ATSC were:
That’s all for now! I’ll see you next Friday (and hopefully have lots to report back on what the Maine girls + pals are up to). Xo



















So glad you liked it Lucy and in such good company next to Taylor and Stephanie!
