Shitters!!! Say hello to Pencil!!! She’s a 4.5 month old hypoallergenic (!) Siberian kitten and the sweetest little girl in the world! She loves her feather toy, book time, freeze dried chicken treats, and snuggles every morning :)
I’m of course on a mission to become the chicest cat mom of all time (even though half of my furniture is covered in these at the moment… lol)—if you have any recs for things your cat loves that aren’t painfully ugly, I’m all ears!!!
Other recent favorites: Clean fragrance brand Liis makes THE most incredible summer scent—fig, blood orange, violet, tonka wood. I had the world’s butteriest lobster roll at Sailor & Siren in Greenpoint last weekend. I walked there from Williamsburg and picked up this clip at the Na Nin popup on the way—I’m obsessed with the color! This continues to be the best summer body moisturizer—super lightweight, but still deeply hydrating. Just got this to try from them as well (PRIYANKA10). I’m usually anti-set but this one from OSEA is a steal if I’ve ever seen one (PRIYANKA10)! I have abandoned all lip glosses for this balm by Isla (PRIYANKA10). And shoutout to whoever put all the Architectural Digest tours on Netflix—my new go-to to throw on while folding laundry (kind of obsessed with Jimmy Butler’s wine cellar??!!).
There are obviously lots of cat things in my cart at the moment, but I’ll spare you those for now—what follows is a smattering of good things that I’m eyeing/ trying/ buying lately.
Wrist Check
Starting with everyone’s favorite, jewelry! I love a good bracelet stack—that and cool rings are always what I clock on other people. But there’s definitely an art to it, and like all things, I’m picky about what’s too much or just not a fit for me.
I added two new bracelets to my collection this summer! First was this bangle by Yearly Co. I had eyed the Original and the Heavy Weight styles forever, but ended up going with the Original. They’re simple gold bangles, but I love how closely they fit the wrist and how they look together or with other bracelets. They run one big sale a year around Labor Day, so if you’ve been eyeing, the time is coming!
And the latest addition is this gorgeous Garden Party bracelet by Fewer Finer! I wasn’t in the market for anything in particular when I went to their Archive Sale last week (famous last words), but an early version of the bracelet was there at a steep discount and fit my wrist perfectly… I couldn’t pass it up! Call it my push present for Pencil?! I spent a while thinking I wanted to save for a full tennis bracelet instead (Sophie Bille Brahe’s is the dream). Don’t get me wrong, I would still love one one day. But this feels like a better fit for me at the moment. It has diamond presence at a nice size, but it doesn’t feel like too much for everyday or something I have to worry about having on. The open links are a nice complement to the heavier gold bracelet I have next to it, and I just love how they all look together!
