★WHAT I’M LOVING★
Charm Necklaces
There’s something comforting about sorting yourself into a series of symbols and wearing them on your body for everyone to see. I spent a lovely Sunday on Etsy channeling my essence of being into a custom charm necklace, and I can’t recommend it enough. The Coastal Cowgirl has really cute (pricey) options, or if you just like the chunky jewelry vibes, scollective will make the tough choices for you
Porter Jewelry is my favorite brand lately for rings and bangles (to pair with a new charm necklace!)
Adidas Track Pants
Every 4.5 years or so, cool girls everywhere collectively indulge the urge to dress like a middle aged Balkan man. And it rocks. Invest in Adidas track pants, and never get rid of them…they always come back
A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs
Just a really great podcast, for all my music nerds
Brown Mascara
I thought this was something that only applied to blondes, but recently it’s all I’ve been using. Did everyone know about this? It looks so much softer than black mascara while still doing all the lifting and lengthening. I’ve been using Tower 28 for everyday and L’Oréal Telescopic for going out
Pickle
This is a person to person clothing rental service, where items are dropped off at your door via uber eats. Unlike rent the runway and similar platforms, they actually do a great job of curating high quality, cute clothes
When I’m shopping for a specific event, I have a horrible habit of thinking more about how I want the pictures to look instead of what item I’m contributing to my future wardrobe. Pickle helps me get the pictures (sue me) without draining my bank account and further torturing the environment
here is a referral link for $20 <3 free moneyyyy
Beauty of Joseon
My mom introduced me to the Environmental Working Groups’s Skin Deep website, which ranks the hazard level of beauty products based on their ingredient list. A gift and a curse, because I now have to check everything I put on my skin. Beauty of Joseon is a clean Korean skincare company, and one of the only EWG verified brands that I actually like on my sensitive skin. The sunscreen is my favorite
★IN MY SHOPPING CART★
I love white noise, I love morning sun, and I hate waking up. I’m intrigued by the way this mimics natural light and sound cycles, and by the new (aesthetically pleasing) 2.0 version
Starface Pimple Patches
I recently had a pimple that I just couldn’t cover. I was a week long victim to the destructive Blemish → Makeup → Worse Skin cycle. Then my roommate gave me a little yellow sticker for it, and not only did I get lots of compliments, but it stopped me from obsessively touching it

Mesh Socks
An often overlooked wardrobe staple, socks deserve some love. This brand has mesh pairs to help elevate (or purposefully de-elevate?) outfits as open toe season fast approaches
