this weekend... we deserve a little retail therapy 💙
Also inside: subtle beachy earrings, a little Armani evening purse for under $70, and more
Happy long weekend to my fellow friends in the States!!! We made it! I wanted to make sure I got this out tonight, before I spend tomorrow in my friend’s backyard, trying to avoid the heat and the National Mall 🫠
First up… a list of all the Fourth of July sales (in no particular order) I’m tracking!
B.N.W.T.
1. Classic Large Duffel Bag from Moon Nude, $60 (on sale if you buy on Shop)
I saw a woman carrying this on the Amtrak and IMMEDIATELY had to locate it.
2. We The Free State Graphic Tank from Gilt, $30
As y’all have probably already clocked, it is the summer of the Free People tank for me!! Welcome back, 2015!
3. o.p.t Ines Dress from Few Moda, $70
I fear that with every newsletter, I grow closer to re-subscribing to Few Moda… this would just be so lovely for a beach summer wedding.
4. Leonora Slingback Ballet Flats from ASOS, $45
After being initially resistant, I am getting really close to trying the mesh/woven flats trend… it’s just way too hot to be in any sneakers these days :(
5. Sigrid Olsen Vacation Matchbooks Throw from TJ Maxx, $20
Ok, I don’t even care that the matchbook trend is probably almost over, I think this looks SO cute and cozy (dare i say please don’t sell it out before I nab, y’all!!).
Get Thrifty
1. Marc Jacobs Square Neckline Mini Dress from The Real Real, Size S, $55
My friend and I were just reminiscing on how silly it was that a lot of us shied away from brown clothes so much for a lot of the 2000s and 2010s.
2. Emporio Armani Embossed Leather Shoulder Bag from The Real Real, $65
STUNNED this is still available (at least at the time of writing this)!!
3. Helmut Lang T-Shirt from Vestiaire Collective, Size S, $75
As someone who is an F1 fan and just watched the F1 movie, I fear everything has to be car-themed now.
4. American Vintage Jacket from Vestiaire Collective, Size L, $35
Oooooo I love a good vintage letterman – and the good news is this will only get more useful as we head into fall!
5. J.Crew Stretch Cotton-Blend V-neck Top from Curtsy, Size S, $24
The constructed white tank is a necessity – and this one is at a great price + new with tags!
Shop Small 4 Ever
1. Marida Olive Jade Inward Studs from Prism Boutique, $64
I have just now learned about this Marida brand… and WOW, so pretty.
2. Oyster Beach Towel from Maison de Jo, $27
I don’t want to alarm anyone… but summer starts to fly by after the Fourth of July. There is not a moment to waste to get a cutie beach towel (even more options here) and soak it up!
3. Shark Jaw Clip from Finatics, $20
And speaking of the ocean lol… I know folks have enjoyed when I shared stuff from Finatics (which works with organizations to save sharks + ocean life!), and look at this claw clip 🥹
4. Sterling Silver Petite Blue Ombre Pave Band Ring from Wolf & Badger, $62 (on sale)
My Wolf & Badger obsession is only growing!! SUCH insanely good curation – I remember the owner once popped up on TikTok for me, I need to find her again!!
5. Citrine & Pink Tourmaline Asymmetric Gold Earrings from Bluebell and Clover, $45
This is a me thing, but I really appreciate it when things fit the “asymmetric” trend, but are still balanced lol.
More Fun Stuff
Some Substacks I’ve really enjoyed recently:
If Dua Lipa tells me to read a book, I will read a book!!
Idk how I just discovered this account on IG where she paints the most beautiful bags, WOW.
Apparently, Gen Z is embracing the bandage dress, but as formalwear (like even potentially officewear)?? I am an elder Gen Z, but I haven’t really seen it – curious if anyone else has.
The most-clicked links in the last ATSC were:
Martie!! Guys, it’s the BEST to get super discounted, super good household stuff and snacks and all that.
The pewter grey Mary Janes on Wolf & Badger ($33) – I did actually buy these!
That’s all for now! I hope you guys have a lovely and safe and restful long weekend <3
Lucy, thank you so much for including me -- and ALSO so many treats here! Chock full of all the joy I 100% need. That secondhand Helmut Lang tee? A claw clip that benefits marine life! XOXO
