1. I’m not sure if it’s just me (someone who’s hypersensitive to shifts in the social paradigm), but any perceived potential for progress\u2014however performative\u2014seems to have scuttled a few inches backward. One too many companies have replaced their Juneteenth acknowledgements with some version of “in observance of the holiday<\/em>, we’ll be closed on June 19th.” It’s deliberate erasure used to assuage opposing parties\u2014or worse, a pretense for upholding progressive, moral values.<\/p>\n

Convincing me otherwise will fall on deaf ears. I do this for a living: The verbiage is calculated, and it is, <\/em>in fact, that deep.<\/p>\n

2. With that off my chest: Happy Juneteenth! If you haven’t already, add Reparations Club<\/a> to your to-shop list. I first discovered them when Rep Club curated books for this tiny alcove at the Melody Ehsani<\/a> store (once on Fairfax, but now permanently closed). There’s such breadth and care shown to the authors\u2014which is a rarity, especially when it comes to uplifting up-and-coming writers and highlighting the stories of joy, creativity, and innovation that are oft buried.<\/p>\n

3. Wore Byredo\u00a0Sister Dreamer<\/em><\/a> in celebration today\u2014because I do believe in supporting women and Black or BIPOC figures when they’ve worked hard to make these mainstream moments of recognition happen. This is a limited-edition fragrance created in collaboration with artist Lauren Halsey<\/a>, and it does, in fact, smell like radical joy. It’s a parhelion in scent form\u2014a perfume that smells like limitless days with blue skies, freshly cut grass, and jacarandas as confetti on hot concrete.<\/p>\n

4. If you aren’t familiar with Kwame Adusei<\/a> yet, please, please<\/em> acquaint yourself. Adusei is one of my favorite independent designers; I’ve waxed poetic about his eye<\/a> and appreciation for the female form before, and will continue to do so until the end of time.<\/p>\n

5. I only just discovered Lee Estelle’s work<\/a> this year, and am enamored by the vignettes she paints of women, liberated. The prints<\/a> would be exquisite framed in a tortoise-shell or high-gloss red; just imagine a series hanging in a powder or dressing room! Originals are available too, but my favorite sold\u2014lucky<\/a> for the collector, but rather unfortunate for me. And if you prefer to wear your art, consider a one-of-one<\/a>. This striped bag<\/a> is simple, but my personal favorite.<\/p>\n
