Another gorgeous round-up of vintage finds… Carly is so good at this! I love how much silver is incorporated in this month’s round-up as I collect silver (my mom has passed a few things down to me and I’m always scouring Etsy and Chairish). This ice bucket, this large sculptural bowl, and this darling snail (it holds charcuterie picks) all rank very highly for me. I also love this set of chairs. They’re perfect and would look amazing in my garden.
The revenge of millennial cringe. Are you rude with money? A killer living room makeover. What to eat for all-day energy. Excellent profiles of Sharon Stone and Alison Brie. How to add more protein to your salad. And so much more!
Sarah Creal is one of those brands where I seem to like every product they make. I did a longer review of the brand as a whole (this has more detailed reviews of all of my favorite products from the brand) but with No Further Questions, they just launched lip glosses, which I was very excited to try. I love a lip gloss. I got three colors: Calm Down, Shut Up, and Deal With It. Today I’m going to share my thoughts on the glosses, and show you all three shades on.
One of the trickier parts of running this blog is trying to please everyone. “That’s too expensive!” or “Cute, but it doesn’t come in my size!” are two of the most common pieces of feedback Carly and I receive. Believe me: we take it as a challenge. We both spend hours every week scouring the internet for cool clothes under $200 that we’d want to wear (and that come in a full range of sizes). This isn’t me complaining—just giving you context for why I’m so excited about today’s find.
Purple can be polarizing! It’s my mom’s favorite color, and I know so many people who love it, but it doesn’t get very much love in my own wardrobe. It’s been all over the media, though. Vogue named electric purple “Fall’s color to watch”, detailing how high-fashion labels like Gucci, Miu Miu, and Anna Sui are embracing the hue in everything from velvet blazers to mod accessories. Purple has historically signaled power and glamour. Meanwhile, Marie Claire declared it “the easiest way to dress like you inherited a fortune,” and Bazaar had a great piece about how purple ruled the runway at NYFW.
