Just dropping in with some fun sale news: Shopbop is doing their big “Buy More, Save More” event now through Thursday. Use code STYLE to save 15% off $200 or more, 20% off $500 or more, 25% off $800 or more. Today I wanted to share a few of my personal picks!
How to deal with a rude neighbor. The best movies to look out for this fall. The rise of the statement coat. My sister’s NYT feature. Vogue editors share their favorite “going out tops.” The most anticipated books of Fall ‘25. Workaholism! Why it’s okay to be awkward, even at work.
This is a) one of the most subtle perfumes I have and also b) my most complimented! If you love Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue, or other lighter “you but better” fragrances like Missing Person, I think you’ll love this, it’s one of my absolute favorites! I Don’t Know What is a unisex scent. It technically has no notes, but when I smell it, I get the fresh citrusy-ness that comes from bergamot, lemon, vetiver, and sandalwood. It’s cool, dry, bright, and clean. It smells so good — whether you wear it alone or opt to layer it!
I can hardly believe that summer’s winding down. It’s still plenty warm here in Charleston, but I’m more than ready to lean into all things fall. The cozy layers, moody hues, and, most importantly, the seasonally appropriate cocktails or mocktails. I’ve said it before, but I’m not the biggest pumpkin spice fan… I know, how dare I?! The Starbucks PSL is not for me–too sweet! I do love a pumpkin spice candle (this, this, and this are all favorites!), but as far as the lattes go? I’ve never been a big fan. I was feeling a little left out of the festivities until I discovered a new deliciously fall (but not too sweet) cocktail: the Pumpkin Spice Old-Fashioned.
We are trying a few new things this week. I watch so much film and television that I thought it would be fun to start a monthly column to talk about it! I’d love for you to leave your recommendations (and what you’re excited about watching), as I love hearing your recs!
