Welcome to TUESDAYS, and yes, this is a twofer. You should have received another newsletter earlier this morning and now for a quick travel edition.
I absolutely love a long weekend trip to pack for, a cute weekender bag and minimal items for the kids as well, however I’m headed on a very exciting 2 + week trip to Sardegna and Corsica. While I’m still in the midst of packing I wanted to share my inspiration board: basically a digitized version of the tear sheets I would have made when in high school. Back in my suburban youth I would be clipping and collaging from whatever fashion magazines I could get a hold of.

Things I Didn’t Buy This Week
I am so tempted to add a pop of red to my summer wardrobe via The Row jelly shoes, but my temptation ended when I learned so many people spent $$$ for the shoe just to learn they actually break easily! There are great dupes such as Ancient Greek jellys.

I did purchase jelly shoes x2 this summer lol. Just for the kiddos not me. They look so adorable, and I will cry the day they won’t let me dress them in “matchy, matchy” as my youngest likes to call it.
I also purchased the above men’s Dries van Noten top. It is see through, but not see through — and basically the most ventilated, yet covered up top ever. I love it because it works for my city life and for a beach vacation, I’ll throw it on with linen pants and a sandal like these ATP Rosa sandals for dinner, or even wear it with cut-off jean shorts. I bought the top in a size small and honestly it fits like a women’s small. And FYI I always size up in the ATP Rosa sandals, but you may not need to if you have a super narrow foot.
Should I do a what I wore on vacation round-up? I never know if these are necessary, as my mirror selfies are woefully low-fi and not staged. Do we care?
Today I posted 2 newsletters this week. The next 2 weeks might be sporadic postings as I’m going to be doing a whole lot of nothing and channeling this vibe.
