Freda Salvador Elba Penny Loafer
I have been wearing my Vagabond Alex W loafers to death for almost the last 3 years. I took them to the cobbler last summer to get them fixed up but I think it’s officially time for a new pair of loafers—they’re just too beat up now. I don’t buy shoes often, but when I do, I like to invest in a high-quality pair of shoes. Although I love how comfortable the Alex W loafers are, I’ve been eyeing the Freda Salvador loafers in the color Espresso Spazzolato. I’ve heard good things, so I’m happy to add them to my shoe rotation.
Good Behavior is one of my favorite vintage furniture brands in Brooklyn. I have 2 vintage teak bookshelves from them and they are such beauties. I’m still in desperate need of more shelves for all my books and I want another one of their teak shelves. I’m so ready to have my stacks of books off of the floor and put together a more organized personal library.
Speaking of libraries, my apartment’s current signature candle is the Library Candle by Maison Markosian. It doesn’t give me a headache and makes my space smell wonderful. I just went to the website to buy my 4th one right now and am realizing they’re sold out so I’m actually freaking out. Fingers crossed they’ll be back in stock soon.
My goal is for every single pair of underwear I own to be from ODDOBODY. I have a few pairs and they truly are the softest underwear I’ve ever owned. But they’re $24 a piece—and although it’s so worth it because they’re 100% cotton, I can only treat myself to a couple of these every once in a while. I’m eyeing the Chestnut, Creme, and Greige colors next.
I’ve been familiar with Donald Judd’s work for a while now and one of his homes is in New York! You can get tickets for guided visits. I’ve currently got 2 tickets in my cart for my boyfriend and me as part of his birthday present. He loves design and we always like touring different artists' homes together.
I always wanted to be the person who applied body lotion every single day after the shower and had super soft, moisturized skin. I tried many body lotions throughout my life and always failed. But I’ve finally found the one lotion that has made applying lotion a daily habit: the Cyklar Body Creme. I have never smelled so good and been so soft. I just finished my last bottle and need to order a new one. I have the Crescent scent, but I’ll probably try the Bergamont Bond one next (I have that scent in the body wash, and can confirm it’s perfect). They’re also about to launch a perfume oil and I will 100% be purchasing it.The Consistency Project Pant Fitting Appointment
This denim shop on Atlantic Avenue is the best—they’ve got an incredible selection of vintage denim. You can book a pants fitting appointment so they can help you find the perfect pair of jeans and it’s something I’ve been wanting to do for a while. I’m excited to add a pair of vintage pants to my denim collection and I love that they offer personalized pant fittings.
I’ve been wearing glasses almost daily for the last 15 years. Glasses are such a fun way to accessorize and the next pair I want to add to my collection are these thick-rimmed black glasses from Moscot in the 47 (Wide) size. I tried them on a few months ago and loved them.
thank YOU! adding all of these picks to our cart ❤️🛒
Thank you so much for having me!! This was so fun 🤎❤️
