friday finds

Happy Friday, friends! Here's my best of the internet round up this week.

• silver mirrorball necklace - under $100 and would layer nicely with a silver chain.

• Nelle Atelier spring launch- How I can’t wait for this arrival! I got the Laura in Pearl and am picturing wearing them with a crop top and my favorite flats or a chunky grey sweater come fall. Btw, not to toot my own horn (but toot toot!), I was one of the first substack girlies to share Nelle and interview their founder, Madeleine (shoutout to my longtime bff Miranda who introduced us). Read here.

• An under $100 find to put a little prep in your step - bought this for myself (order true to size for an oversized look)

• Carven’s new collection has landed at Net-A-Porter. - I spent the most $ I’ve ever spent on a jacket and am patiently awaiting her arrival (I just know my father is shaking his head as he reads that. Sorry, Dad!)

• Emilia Petrarca
  ‘s How Do you Shop in LA? has me laughing, because it is so painfully relatable. If I am going to shop IRL, I prefer to do it in NY. There, I said it! (more on my favorite NY shops here).

• A two piece summer set from Moda that is very SATC coded to me. I wore a skirt from this brand to my bday dinner date with my husband and I love it. These embellished jeans are fun, too.

• Promise you won’t regret buying your toddler one of these Gap baseball caps. Too cute!

• My superbowl, aka the Met Gala, is approaching. (well… my Super Bowl unless the team my husband works for is playing. Then I do pay attention). Can’t wait to see what everyone, and by everyone I mean Zendaya, wears.

• One of my favorite DFW stores, Rare Heart Vintage, made it onto Vogue’s best vintage shops list! I was there in 2018 for their opening weekend in with my best friend and stocked up on Harley tees I still love to wear. Definitely check it out if you’re in the area.

• Got these beautiful Dries sandals from my sister as a birthday gift and now it’s my turn to shop for her birthday next week. Bought her these, these, and maybe the perfect going out top?

• My best Sephora sale buy was this lipliner (shade 2C). Thank you to my mom who reminded me of it’s existence.

• Consider these the grown up (and possibly more corporate friendly? idk) version of the infamous Tory pierced flats from last season (which I think are still very cool). Love! Also of note from Shopbop’s new arrivals - this tie-dye dress, these sneaks, and a pretty beaded bag. Oh also I want this dress- perfect for an outdoor event or just surviving the (eventual) summer heat.

• If you have the new Kacey Musgraves album on repeat, you need this candle. Love her ongoing collaboration with Boy Smells. If you’re more of a slow burn girl, they have those too and I can confirm they smell amazing.

• No matter how you feel about the Call Her Daddy podcast, there’s no denying that Mimi Cuttrell absolutely killed it with styling Alex Cooper (aka ‘Father Cooper’) for her Mexico wedding. I loved every look, especially the 1995 Versace corset top and silk skirt. See it all here.

• Speaking of vintage, here’s some secondhand fun via TRR- first up is this Miu Miu tote, a leopard Supreme overshirt that would be a great jacket, a Prada keychain, and this very special Dries skirt.

• The Alaïa Le Teckel bag is in high demand!

  mentioned her difficulty finding one (and ultimately buying the studded version, which I consider superior!), and that Alaïa will be introducing versions in multiple colors soon. I bought mine off Italist in February and it was the only bag I packed for my trip to New York earlier this month. Seems like there are a few on the Alaïa site now right now, if you’re on the hunt.

• More outfit fun - I finally became an Alex Mill girl. Love this Khaki Frontier jacket, sign up for a restock notification here.

• I have been on the hunt for a nice, slightly oversized black crewneck sweater for a minute! It’s a taller order than I would have initially thought. Still haven’t found ‘the one’, but when I do I’ll share.

Okay, have a great weekend and stay tuned for my next letter because I’ll (finally, and by request) be sharing my bag charm breakdown.

xo, Liz
