a week's worth of Good Things

chic head spinners, Good Skincare, niche finds, it's all here

Oh HELLO, happy friday my gorgeous, radiant, brilliant, fairy angel princesses <3. I’m feeling rejuvenated after a long weekend and ready to DO WHAT WE DO BEST — a good shop and a good talk.

And since this might be the only dedicated forum for thousands of E(I)HGs to congregate each week….. I am ALSO going to beg U to tell me if I need a certain zip up (below), annnnd your guidance on finding a very necessary item for my apt.

Let’s get to the Good Stuff, yeah?

1. My algo is proudly NOT optimized for seeing what “everyone is wearing” but I’m wondering if this knit, embroidered Siedres zip up is just So Good that it’s what everyone WILL be wearing this spring? Immediately gasped because it’s perfect for planes (my ongoing fixation), it’s cozy and sweet (gives i’m my grandmother’s favorite), and seems to fit Just Quite Right. I’d even do something crazy and take it to abbode to add MORE fun, embroidered stuff to it. It’s sold out already in many places, but good sizes left here and on here!!! In my cart…… what do we think????? W/ a perfect white tee underneath? Wide leg blue jeans or these perfect hot girl leggings? Navy US Open baseball hat (not the one everyone else has that u are probably thinking of)???? eeeeeek

2. Just another week spent wheezing at the sight of furniture on 1stDibs lmfaoooo. This one could sizably fit in my home (this one too), so I am seriously considering, but also fear that it would require my apt to undergo an aura-shift that I don’t know if I’m entirely prepared for. I need like a sexy cool girl abode next, one where I can blend all of my life’s global influences into a cohesive container. I see this in a Parisian apartment with lots of vintage furniture and imported, wooden doors from Lamu and proper art and elements of chrome/silver because everyone involved Knew What They Were Doing. Alas,

   

   yum

3. Eighth Day reached out to send me this verrrryyy luxe night cream (an extended release retinal which contains bioidentical factors that stimulate cellular regeneration whilst u sleep). I was like yk what? YES I’ll give it a whirl… because tretinoin kinda scares me BUT I am at the age (28!) where I should be thinking about my skin health and future LOL.

   1. I’ve heard about this brand for years, namely via their Regenerative Serum (which I’ve now also tried and can confirm it’s sick). Eighth Day was founded by Dr. Antony Nakhla, who is lauded in niche beauty circles (see this STRONG endorsement from Violet Grey) AND the patented creator of PRP (peptide rich plasma) in 2016. As a reconstructive skin cancer surgeon who specializes in wound healing, Dr. Nakhla basically modeled PRP after cell-stimulating treatments used to treat open wounds during reconstructive surgery. Which is WOAH.

   2. Anndd he is bringing the same level of genius to Retinal. Dr. Nakhla developed RetinalXR as an extended release, medical grade solution that minimizes irritation (my tret fear) whilst maximizing potency at 250% compared to standard retinol. And THEN it’s rounded out with PRP and GGA (inhibits DNA damage to extend the life of skin cells and slow signs of aging). As I said earlier, LUXXEEEE — the Night Cream's consistency is thick, but it’s also like a balm in that a little goes a LONG way. I almost think of it like an evening mask? When I wake up my skin feels firm/smooth/glowy -- kinda like how your skin feels polished after exfoliating. Anyway, THIS IS WHY SMART PPL SHOULD BE MAKING THINGS. It’s all Very Good!!!

4. SUMMER IS ON MY MIND after spending a long weekend in the 561, I desperately need to be one with the beach, a book, my journal, and humidity (said it). Gauzy yet plush cottons and linens are all that I can think about, and these pants from COS are GORG.

5. Yeah and while we’re on summer, I need this Chloe top with such maddening fury that I’m afraid of what I’ll do if I click on this link again lmfaaooo. I’m doing Wim Hof because it’s unreasonable!!!!!!! BUT I WANT IT!!!!!!!! I’m envisioning with perfect true blue flares + middle parted long hair tucked back + a gold & thin & shimmery lariat OR a stunning & long beaded crystal necklace (tiny beads!!) wrapped twice around the neck (hanging ends)…..

6. I have spent months looking for the right basket for blankets??? Turning to you my perfect chic global queens (EIHGs lol) because I’ve HAD IT. Things U should know: 1)it will be visible in my living room, 2)I have scrubbed all the regular suspects like Nickey Kehoe, Abask, Artemis, and Jenni Kayne (so far in the leading spot), but 3)I’m not feeling the hitch in my throat that happens when I KNOW something is GOOD and I NEED IT. However……. that’s not to say that I haven’t gone on the 4th date and suddenly developed a late-onset crush on some of the things that I have bought, but that’s RARE, and I don’t like buying to plan for that future. I want the kind torrential love at first sight that a therapist might notate as mutual love bombing, but actually results in the two of you still holding hands 35 years later, yk????

7. Ok…. High Sport?? I fear it must happen for me now. I held off but I am finding it harder and harder to avert my gaze……. does anyone have compelling evidence AGAINST these in black? Because the FOR committee is deafening, I’ll give it 72 hours for dissent and then I’m officially pulling trig.

8. I spoke on a Vogue Business Panel last night titled The Future of Influence (pinch! me!!) and ran into my dear EHG

   Rebecca Jarrett
   who was in attendance. Her fit was so good, but I PARTICULARLY loved her pants. She said they are these ones By Maline Birger, and im Very influenced. And on sale rn!!!! Also, while here, these are also stunning. Into a silk pant lately (altho not sure if cream silk is into ME looool).

THAT’S ALL 4 TODAY!!!!!

I’m hoping you have a stunning stunning perfect perfect weekend and that you stumble upon beautiful things, new and old <3. I LOVE YOU;

TM x
