Since this newsletter has mostly become irregular bulletins about things I’ve bought and enjoyed, I thought it might be useful to write about some stupid shit I bought this year that I hate.
I thank you for your honesty about Sezane. Was NEARLY fooled by all of the cool girls in my discover page but drove my ass over to the closest pop-up and touched the very mid materials and held the very small waists of the bottoms to my bottom and said, nah. (Ref is good for a little splurge and their fitting rooms are basically Cher Horowitz's closet!)
I have always looked longingly at their aesthetic and thought “maybe not for this arse” so thank you for saving me from ordering and feeling shit about myself. I will never learn that it’s the clothes not me.
I also discovered Hush this year and now own the stretchy low cut cord jumpsuit I never knew I dreamed about
I love the 'feeling like I'm in a picture book'. To complete the image I hope you are buying a long string of sausages, as all the picture books of my childhood used to show.
My dog has pissed, shat and vomited on our rug in the past month (the festive trifecta, she’s rarely done any of these previously) and so the butcher bone and washable rug combo sounds perfectly tailored to me
Can't wait for the algorithm to push me all these products in Stories, in between that one New Yorker piece on constant rotation entitled "Should You Just Give Up?"
The way I giggled after reading your description of Sezane…
“Maybe your proportions are right, maybe your personal style is at the exact midpoint between smart-casual and casually-rich.” - it’s THE perfect description.

This is too funny. She has no hobbies, she can’t read

Pull the flap and the dog is running away with the string of sausages
Perfect!
I am still dying that you tagged Sezane on Instagram. NO FEAR

Hahaha go with god sister
This is a great list. And firms my resolve to buy in person AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE
Oh my god the ruggable rugs algorithm has been putting in the hard yards and I’m THIS close to buying one thank you so much x

Caroline you have no business being THIS funny! absolutely cackling sitting next to my mushroom lamp that hasn’t been charged in 3 months
Crying here. Very relatable!
I’m sorry but I now really want - and feel like I need - that t-shirt organiser.
I spat out my tea laughing at this

Sezane! So much polyester and cheap lace. Alluringly photographed but very disappointing in the flesh.
Also rechargeable lamps break or need constant charging, which defeats the purpose
This round up was perfect and hilarious. My favourite was the torch bug reference and fucking ‘t-shirt lasagna’ 😂😂😂
