Things I Would Buy

The end of summer, early fall edition.

Tell me this isn’t the most beautiful top you’ve ever seen. I’m a huge fan of Tae Park—each design strikes this balance between restraint and innovation to create a magic in clothing that you can’t help but appreciate. Here, the softness juxtaposed with the sculptural bodice is sheer perfection. It’s just exquisite.

 

Miu Miu leather goods will always have a special place in my heart. Give me pearls! Chains! Buttery, textured leather! It’s charming and borderline juvenile in the best way possible.

 

These are so unlike me (and truthfully, wouldn’t be flattering my body type) but since stumbling across them in SSENSE’s sale, I can’t get them out of my head. They’re subversive yet sweet—sensing a theme here?—and have so much potential. Imagine them peeking out from under a black mini or a little A-line dress, paired with kitten heels, worn with the Miu Miu pearl-embellished bag above. You get the vision now, don’t you?

 

If I worked out, I think I’d be deserving of a chic set of walnut wood dumbbells. Or perhaps I’m approaching this all wrong: if I had a pair of weights that looked like this, I’d work out.

Yes, I have the original Hydrostars and the case from the first Hello Kitty collaboration—but this version was irresistible. In fact, this Starface set isn’t just one of the things I would buy, it’s a thing I actually ordered without a second thought. And not just the pack of pimple protectors: I needed the entire bundle with the patches, pore strips, and repackaged Space Wash in all its powder pink glory. These are Just Girly Things™, you know?
