Finds Worth Filing: Transitional Flats, A Life Changing Strapless Bra, And The Only Sales I'm Shopping
Welcome back to the group chat!
Happy Sunday, friends!
We’re back after a packed 2 week hiatus and there are finds to be shared. This time of year is always a little difficult shopping wise, as we’re “in-between seasons” and the industry shifts to pushing sales. By mid-July I have my clients focus on restyling items already in their closets and if they’re making purchases, ensuring those work as we transition to fall.
Now if you’ve been here a while you know I have some STRONG feelings on shopping sales. I could go on and on, but I’ll just keep it to this: If you wouldn’t buy it full price, do not buy it on sale. Utilize the heart or wishlist feature on your favorite websites and if something you saved goes on sale, then you know that’s a good purchase. It’s better to have 1 item you’re obsessed with, than 3 that you bought on sale that are just okay.
Okay, rant over. Let’s chat finds.
As always, you can find my favorites linked in live time HERE.
Here are the only sales I’m shopping.
Suzie Kondi: Saba top and Hera Bloomers are my fav
Toteme: So many incredible classic styles (Trenches! Leathers! Bags!)
Late Summer Plaid
Button ups are one of my absolute favorite pieces to style. The options are endless and truly look incredible on everyone (*when styled correctly)!! This time of year I love incorporating more fall forward colors and prints in summery materials, like linen and cotton. Great for in-between seasons, especially if you’re looking at pricier pieces. This one, this one, this one, this one (sale!), this one, and this one are all incredible options.
Kallmeyer Clemence Pant (but basically all new season Kallmeyer)
Excuse me while I write a love letter to Kallmeyer’s pre-fall collection. Daniella rarely misses, but this season in particular is just…special. Everything from the belts and bags to the blazers and tops. She just has a unique way of making everyday pieces unique, but still wearable. My favorite combination. The new print and material of the Clemence pant, however, is absolutely the #1 for me. It’s drapey and has a very slight barrel leg which flatters almost all body types. I will say this particular pant runs a tad large, so I would size down 1 size.
Gives a unique shape, like Toteme’s Summer Parachute jacket, but for 1/4 of the price. It’s light, unlined and the perfect transitional topper. It also comes in Petite which is amazing if you’re under 5’5. It runs oversized, so I’d size down - I took an XS Petite. Also have this trench from them and it’s also a 10/10.
A few newsletters back I shared about the Else Sandra Suit which honestly changed my life. Since then, the brand has been kind enough to send a few more pieces from their collections and the goodness just keeps on getting better. As someone with a large chest (we’re talking 32E) wearing a strapless bra just isn’t something I can comfortably do. They’re usually heavily padded (pass) and just end up either falling down or making me look even bustier (pass pass). The Else Bare Strapless Bra changed everything for me. It stays up without pinching or squeezing le girls and gives shape without the bulk. I wore it all day yesterday with a thin strapped silk tank. A miracle.
Transitional Flats
We’ve reached the point in summer where the idea of a light jacket and a pair of loafers starts to sound pretty exciting. It’s still extremely hot so layers are out, but let me introduce you to what I call “the transitional flat.” Something that works in both summer and fall (and winter, depending on where you live), and gives a nod to the upcoming season without committing too early. It could be the color, the materials, the shape, you name it. Here are some of my favs.
