Happy Friday, my loves!! You made it!

I hope you are getting yourself some lovely Friday treats – and, of course, as treat inspo, I have some Zeens with some of the products I have been LOVING! (Reminder: you can shop all of them on Zeen, the products are all linked right there.)

the aperol spritz collection:

there is STILL TIME to secure a Halloween costume for this weekend and next weekend!! Honestly, this idea came to me when I saw someone else dressed as an espresso martini and I am obsessed!! The nice thing is I think you could re-wear literally any of these pieces, especially next spring and summer~

Some faves:

Ok, the orange satin slides on the bottom right are absolutely to die for IMO.
Snag that sparkly white mini skirt for NYE and thank me later!!
I freaking love charm bracelets, and I just really, really enjoy this lil blue and white one with the orange and lemon charms.

get out the vote 2024 💙:

I think some of you know that in my other life, I work in progressive politics and it is GO TIME, baby! Ofc, I had to make an outfit collage for volunteering – and don’t forget to check your voter registration and make a plan to vote! And if you feel inclined to do some volunteering with Swifties for Kamala (who are the NICEST), you can do so right here!

Some faves:

Full disclosure, I have the “I support women’s rights and wrongs” shirt myself and I love her!! Always get a lot of compliments too :)
Idk if I can get that democracy match-box tote in time for Election Day, but I must try.
Prediction: those Steve Madden leopard sneakers (which are now on the TikTok shop I just saw) will be EVERYWHERE soon.

Phia!!!

I was lucky enough to get early access to this new shopping tool, Phia. Basically, it’s a browser extension that helps you find thrift or second-hand versions of whatever item you’re looking at online – literally SO cool and helpful and good for the planet :)

Here’s an example of what the extension tool looks like (I used it on the Abercrombie site):

I also wanted to share some cool things I’ve found using Phia like these Future Collective sequin trousers for $25 and this NA-KD leopard trench for $40!

If you want to use it too, I’m dropping the link for early access right here! And you can follow them on IG to stay tuned :)

B.N.W.T.

I’m so sorry, I’m still ranting and raving about how cool I think Beaulares is… and I think I’m going to need to snag this brown treated leather shoulder bag because she is simply perfect (and practical!).
I mentioned this briefly over on IG… but I think these Mango burgundy loafers are literally to die for.
Speaking of Mango, I am loving a dark wash jean with an exposed seam or some kind of detail like that, and so I think I need to snag a pair of these!
Very random, but I got this boat-neck long sleeve from Target in one size larger than I usually am… and I love it! Super soft and super great elevated basic.

Get Thrifty

This I will stand by: we all need a cozy, chunky, knit pattern sweater that makes us kinda feel like we’re in a cabin in the Alps just like this one!
On the cozy vibe… this red Skims set is somehow only $55???
I recently got a classic off-the-shoulder going-out top in black and I am OBSESSED… and now I just found one in red… y’all are going to need to beat me to it!
DOLCE AND GABANNA CARDIGAN FOR UNDER $100, THIS IS NOT A DRILL!

Shop Small 4 Ever

A new section!! Since we have all been loving the Etsy links (and the small businesses behind them), I wanted to give them their own section. Hope you enjoy it, and if you have recommendations, please send them my way~

Ok, this is the ultimate holiday gift: a ceramic plate with a CUSTOM PORTRAIT of your friend or loved one (or whoever!) on it!
I love, love, love this very dainty take on the summer’s charm necklace trend.
Speaking of presents, these candles are SO good (for your Scorpios and Saggitariuses and anyone else).
Unfortunately, I will never not be really tempted to buy an adorable hand-painted ceramic mug like this one.
