Weekend Sale Dispatch
Plus what's on my eye + on repeat this spring
Shitters!! This is a jam-packed (and very belated) letter, but I come bearing SO many good things (and sales!!), so please forgive me!
I used this red clutch the whole time and it was perfect! But enough about vacation—there are a few very good sales that are worth browsing this weekend:
Violet Grey: I adore Violet Grey and their (aptly named) Put It In The Bag Event is one of my must-hits every year—most all of their splurge-worthy products are between 20-25% off. My MVP of the moment is this exosome goodness. It’s splurgey (so get it while it’s on sale), but it immediately calms my skin and makes it look SO even and lit-from-within. I use it after Vitamin C (I’m still hooked on this one via Sephora), and before SPF (that + the rest of Sofie’s line is worth stocking up on too).
Other VG highlights: UBeauty’s insanely good body hydrator (I call it my supermodel moisturizer—it’s always on my chest, arms, and legs before every event or night out and it makes me feel airbrushed), 111Skin’s holy grail eye and face masks (my fridge currently has more masks than food, and these are without a doubt the best ones), Lilis’s impressive body peel (good for limbs that are newly on display after months of jeans and heavy sweaters), Fara Homidi’s simple summer skin (who wants their face to melt off in the summer heat?! Not me!), and Madame Grey’s Zodiac candles for any summer birthdays! If your sauna habit doesn’t break for summer, 20% off a sauna blanket is also a steal.
J.Crew: J.Crew’s markdowns vary by what seems like the day, but at the moment they’re offering 40% off of summer styles. My favorite from the sale is this pair of striped shorts, but there are a few others pieces worth checking out too. I’m obsessed with the summer weight version of their viral rollneck sweater (I’d style exactly how the model does). I get so much wear out of this simple boxy long sleeve—feels perfect to throw on over denim shorts for a Saturday morning. Their sandal collaboration with TKEES comes in THE perfect vintage green (yes I paused writing to add to cart). And this sweet sleep set reminds me of The Great!
Brooklinen: At this point I am not convinced Brooklinen hasn’t been running a 25% off sale for the past six months?? But for you hot sleepers, these particular sheets and this cotton blanket (pull it up instead of the duvet at night) are a godsend for summer nights. And not Brooklinen, but for the hot sleepers who are really at their wit’s end, it might be time to call in the big guns. It’s an investment, but on sale and right before temps rise is the best way to get your money’s worth.
Other things I loved in April/early May:
I am a full on string bikini convert! They’re more comfortable than thongs, cuter than basic briefs, and made of 100% organic cotton.
These clear protein + electrolyte packets. They’re especially helpful during travel when you’re feeling dehydrated and being more lax with food/protein.
It’s finally mesh flat season again, and my favorites have already gotten three compliments in the wild! The sticker price is also suspiciously $100 less than when I originally purchased?? Run.
I’ve never counted the number of lip balms I own, but know that it’s up there! Of all of them, this is my undisputed favorite (PRIYANKA10). It’s in my bag every time I leave the house—the velvety texture and finish is just so good.
My pink plates!!! They just make me happy every single time.
I’m currently writing this on a plane in these linen pants. I tried a few other pairs this week, but none were even close in terms of fit, feel—all of it. They’re on the pricey side, but effortlessly put together, so comfortable, and easy to dress up or down.
What’s on my eye this month, you ask? Well, approximately one minute into The Devil Wears Prada 2, this stunning Jemma Wynne necklace skyrocketed to the top of my wishlist, where I imagine it will remain for quite some time. Any patrons of the arts care to treat me???
