these are a few of my favorite things :)
ALSO INSIDE: white leather Prada sneakers, a teeny tiny literary tote, martini art, and more
Hello, my friends!! So sorry that we’re a bit off schedule, these past two weeks were just insane (astrology folks, please tell us what is going on right now), and fellow politics girls and women+ of America and the world in general, I am sending all my love to you (because F**K ALL THIS!).
I hope this newsletter can provide a little inspo for some much-deserved retail therapy :)
But first, something VERY exciting happened amidst the chaos, and that is that I had a chance to join the Selleb app from
!! Y’all know I am a huge fan of theirs (highly, highly recommend their newsletter!), and I could not be more excited to be on the app :) Bad for my wallet, but so good for my soul.I’m @lucyritz on the app, would love to follow you if you’re there too! And in the spirit, here are a few things that I purchased/acquired that made me very happy this week.
I also got a mystery pack of Inciardi prints (can you tell I am a very big fan lol) and ended up with two extra martini prints – if anyone wants to do a little swap, let me know.
And now, onto more good stuff!
B.N.W.T.
1. Mid Rise SuperLight Pull-On Baggy Jeans from Gap Factory, $64
Now that these are on sale, I think it’s finally time for me to try a pair… because it looks like sweatpants-style jeans are here to stay, and who am I to say that we shouldn’t all be cute and comfy!
2. Beaded Shoulder Bag from Loft, $51 (sale)
Oh, hello, sneaky Staud/Anthro dupe!
3. Rising Sun Jersey Storm Sweater from Lioness, $79
Lioness is dropping new colors of their two most viral sweaters from this winter… and I am so happy about it.
4. Mini Book Tote from Library Science, $35
So I actually found this from Sophia on the
app! It’s a mini tote from Kaia Gerber’s book club brand, and I am literally moments away from pressing the checkout button.
5. Gold Dipped Mini Fruit Icon Charm Pendant Necklace from Target, $20
Am I crazy or is the little fruit charm necklace from Target so stinking cute? (Fellow silver wearers, I pray that they make one for us.)

Shop Small 4 Ever
1. Dirty Martini Olive Cocktail Ring from Liv Bella Vita Designs, $59 (sale)
