The Unoriginal Sin ep.3
Took some time off but I'm back with more thoughts and feelings than ever.
I have been busy reformatting my entire existence but that is NO EXCUSE for going dark on you, my beloved 13 subscribers, for this long.
This summer has been weird, hot, and sort of like waiting in line for something for so long you aren’t exactly sure what you’re waiting for. I still don’t have AC and I’m not exactly sure who I want to be while I’m waiting to find out who I’m supposed to be. Which has made getting dressed very, very annoying.
I buy stuff only to realize I really just like having a package to track. It’s been awhile since a purchase has given me that feeling of reinvention or necessity.
So here are some non-clothing things I’ve been thinking about in no particular order.
This Toms Juice campaign styled by Zoey Radford Scott (also the stylist behind the Ssense bridal campaign) and shot by Tom Kneller (Bad Bunny in a Pink Dress for Jacquemus).
Heaven collab with Bleached London. Resplendent with before and afters that highlight how hair and style can change everything. As someone who is desperate to be blonde again this felt personally relevant. The my-dad-is-a-lawyer frat bro to my-dad-is-a-lawyer-and-I-bleached-my-eyebrows-just-to-piss-him-off-but-still-fully-expect-my-monthly-allowance bro transformation is particularly haunting.
Ricky Braukis, the only scientist I can name off the cuff, for Blumarine SS23.
Bryant Giles launched Gone Homme. The whole print-and-scan aesthetic is in full effect but it works. I need them to work with photographer Emily Lipson next.
Gentle Monster x D’Heygere campaign by @yiskid_ validates the fact that I’ve sprained my ankle TWICE this summer.
If you’ve made it this far here are some TRR footwear saves under $150 because I’m gentle and caring.
Prada suede kitten heels, with bow.
Miu Miu mules, with studs.
Suzanne Rae shoes, with fur.
By Far loafers, with snakeskin.
SEE YOU NEXT WEEK I PROMISE.
