summer shopping picks: bubblegum scented shoes and björk inspired purses
focusing on fun
In these shopping pick posts, I share interesting or fun items I’ve come across while shopping for myself or clients. It seems I haven’t done one of these since last fall!
A note on these links:
Some of them are affiliate links and I may earn a commission through them, and some are not.
Since these are things I genuinely like and save at the time I see them, and not things I’m just trying to get you to buy, they may no longer be available or available in all sizes.
Some of them are from fast fashion brands. I include those for three reasons: One, often these are the only brands who carry a wide range of sizes. Two, I will always prioritize your mental health and if you need clothes for a changing body quickly, or your body is changing multiple times and you’re having to buy new clothes often, these are good options. Lastly, not everyone has the financial privilege to be able to spend more on ethically made items.
I’m going to trust you, the reader, to be mindful about whether you purchase something from this selection or not. Please don’t buy anything just because I suggested it or because I like it. I have no intention of being an influencer in that way!
Remember that even when you purchase an item online, it doesn’t mean you’ve committed to it. You still need to feel it, try it on, see how you feel in it and THEN make a decision. You have the right to return things even though they’re in your home.
As a paid subscriber, in addition to supporting the hours per week I spend on this newsletter and the ability to see those shopping links, you also get the ability to comment (we have an incredible community here) on regular posts, the ability to start threads in chat, access to style story guests’ recommendations, and the ability to submit questions for my AMA (ask me anything) posts. Please consider upgrading!
