somehow my asos cart is full again
ALSO INSIDE: the going out tops i wear (i'm in my mid-twenties™️), an Oscar de la Renta silk shirt made for an ABBA party , the best croissant i've maybe ever had, and more...
Happy Friday, friends! We are currently having the second-most humid summer on record, I believe, and I am SO TIRED of having to shower immediately every time you walk in the door. Hope wherever you are, it’s not as bad as here!
I just did not have a collage in me today (once again, astrology friends, do you have any insight on this week because WHAT was that). However, I did my quartly remembering-ASOS-has-good-stuff check-in and discovered there is a big sale! 20% off of almost everything with code DEAL5.
I made a little list of my faves on sale HERE. Some stand-outs:
This black tank with a stitching detail that I might purchase as soon as I hit send ($18)
Happy shopping! And I think I’m gonna start sharing my fave lil pics from the week in these (tell me if that’s annoying/not the content y’all are looking for!). Up this week, these hazelnut strawberry croissants that were out of this world 💛
B.N.W.T.
1. Tilly Printed Vest from Free People, $58
Idk about you all but it has been such a Free People summer for me randomly. Also, I spotted this on The Editorialist (my FAVE!), and they have a tool where you might be able to find it in more sizes at other stores!
2. The Almond Slingback from Rothy’s, $139
I really don’t need another pair of Rothy’s… but I do really like the eyelet style...
3. Plisse Maxi Tube Dress from NA-KD, $30 (on sale)
Absolutely thrilled to report that the tariffs costs have gone back down on NA-KD orders (coming into the US) ((for now at least)) so I am back on my bs!
4. Soft Line Draped Top from NA-KD, $30 (on sale)
As someone in her mid-twenties, I wear NA-KD tops a lot when I’m going out, and I always get compliments 🥹🥹
5. Mini Camisole from Uniqlo, $10
Ok, this one is straight out of my own closet, because this tank is 100% part of my summer 2025 uniform. It’s so perfect, I have it in many colors lol (non-striped version here!).
Get Thrifty
1. Oscar by Oscar de la Renta Silk Printed Top from The RealReal, Size M, $60
I think I say this every newsletter lol, but imagine this at an ABBA party!!
2. Staud Knit Top from Vestiaire Collective, Size XL, $69
I think this could be a really great transition piece for summer into fall.
3. Revolve Piexoto Set from Curtsy, Size S, $100
I think this could be fun for a beachy August wedding!
4. Reformation Straight Jeans from Vestiaire Collective, Size 26, $74
I’m not usually one for the patched jeans look, but something about this version just clicks for me.
5. Dior Leather Handbag from Vestiaire Collective, $58
I think this could also potentially be used as a make-up bag?? Either way!
Shop Small 4 Ever
1. Nimbus Claw in Ripple from Chunks, $24
I actually got introduced to this brand + their very cool story at The Post Supply in Maine, which is now one of my favorites shop of all time, I think :)
2. Baroque Pearl Earrings from Cold Gold, $36
As fall creeps just a bit closer, so does my craving for baroque pieces…
3. The French Market Bag Two Tone from Pillowpia, $18
If graphic tees were in every single ATSC last summer… I think it might be market bags this summer?? This one also comes in a bunch of colors.
4. The Angelic Mug from Happy Lil Bear, $47
Is this expensive for a mug? Absolutely yes. But do I think it would bring joy to my mornings. Also yes!
5. Dusen Dusen Everybody Kitchen Timer from Libby & My, $48
From one of my fave stores in DC!! When I tell you it feels like everyone has Dusen Dusen stuff in their homes…
More Fun Stuff
Some Substack read I’ve really enjoyed recently:
the very thoughtful “Maybe trends aren't the devil” from Maria Polansky of The Pastel Minimalist
This piece, “Main character syndrome is ruining public spaces,” that SPOKE TO MY SOUL from Molly Barth of just vibes
“I asked my real (and platonic) internet friends: Why board shorts? Why now?” from Laura Kirk De Valencia from La Deeply Shallow
Ok, as someone who is made very happy by good smells, I have seriously been considering DedCool detergent… but as some who is going back to grad school, it does not feel fiscally responsible. I’ve heard the DedCool dryer sheets are a good way to get the benefits – does anyone have any reviews/thoughts??
I think I’ve mentioned before… but if you are the planner friend, like me, I cannot recommend The Nudge enough!! They send you ideas of what to do based on your interests and your city :)
It’s so good to know Tyler Oakley is still the best.
The most-clicked links in the last ATSC were:
“UNCERTAIN PEOPLE BUY MORE STUFF” from Beth Bentley of PATTERN RECOGNITION
The pewter Mary Janes ($33 – on sale) that I do own now and can confirm are cute!! They do only come in full sizes, as a flag
The gingham cami that is proof that peplum can be done well ($23 – on sale)
That’s all for now! Thank you so, so much, as always, for being here :) I think I might do a bookish/cozy theme next time… lmk if that sounds interesting! xoxo
Thanks for the mention 🥹 also, jealous of your croissants!
