hi friends. i’ll address my absence another time, but for now, let’s have some fun. since we’re all wearing the same ophelia knock-offs and red accessories this fall, here are a few more basic b things that i’ve been obsessed with lately.
best shoe purchase i’ve made in years - i could walk all over nyc in these and i look chic while doing it. i think these are now a closet staple for me. (blurrily pictured below)
october is for irish murders.
initially, i bought these as house shoes, but i love them so much that i want a second pair to wear out. beware the fur inside does shed a lot, but they’re on sale now, which is great for all of us. (peep them in the pic above)
salt & stone bergamot & hinoki deodorant
i haven’t been obsessed with a scent like this since i found my ~*signature perfume*~. there’s a lot of hype around salt & stone, specifically the santal, but that scent isn’t for me. but the bergamot and hinoki!!!! it is so addicting that i’ve also bought the body wash + body lotion. it’s not a scent that i typically gravitate toward, but something about it is so intoxicating and it layers perfectly with my perfume. and obviously this deodorant is effective, otherwise i wouldn’t be using it.
grommet belts
everyone knows the benny belt and it’s perfect, but do yourself a favor and go against the grain with one of these instead. they’re cool and for some reason that i can’t put my finger on, a little more timeless than the benny.
i love dnd gel and chocolate brown is fall perfection.
i was on the hunt to rid my new apartment of lingering smells and a dear friend recommended this incense. i now have it burning 24/7 and my whole building reeks of campfire. i love it. the cedar and the fir basalm are a little less smokey and i cannot recommend enough.
i see everyone talking about the freda salvadore loafers, but no one gives credit to the OGs - since 1876 people!!! i’ve had these for years, gotten them resoled, and are still as good as new. will continue to repurchase these until i die - the definition of timeless.
a little birdy told me that these fit like the khaite danielle that everyone won’t shut up about. you’re welcome.
i am having a chrome/silver moment and these are divine.
