The Strict List: #38
On today’s edition of The Strict List: My musings on dopamine dressing, what’s on my NYC radar, and daydreams about Staying Still. TGIF, enjoy your sunny weekend :)
Dopamine Dressing: Strict Stuff I’m Obsessing Over
Thick Leather Belts (still obsessed with Uruguayan style), and generally, Zara leather goods. Finding creds to my friend Peyton.
DMY Studios sunglasses just dropped as a special collaboration for the Club Moda Collection. Tried them on and they are going to be glued to my face all summer. The perfect low volume brown tint shades.
Ossa Phone Strap also came in the package and it truly makes for the most functional accessory. I don’t know what I would do without a phone chain these days. I also love this pearly one.
Dries Van Noten sneaker is the shoe of the spring. Sizes are flying, but I’m obsessed with this new color combo. I think it’ll be a year-round staple and the three-toned neutral actually makes it go with everything. I think I’ll end up snagging these, but you can’t go wrong with black and white either.
Crown Affair x Eliou collab is a match made in heaven. Two of my favorite brands teaming up to create the ultimate dopamine dressing accessory. Frivolous details that spark joy and elevate even the simplest thing — the perfect silk scrunchie. I don’t go a day without a Crown Affair scrunchie on my wrist, and this one doubles as jewelry!!
Westman Atelier Bronzing Drops are my new go-to. Essential in my base routine now…a tan really does make everything better. I also love the Saie Super Glowy Gel and mixing that with the Slip Tint for my everyday combo.
La Bonne Brosse is so strict. I have always been a Mason Pearson or Crown Affair hair brush girlie, but just got my first LBB and one day in, I’m already addicted. Makes my hair feel so soft, is a great self care ritual, AND ITS SO GORGEOUS.
Leather Notebooks. By now you know I’m an Artist Way girlie, so I’m hyper-fixated on my Louise Carmen notebook I customized in Paris last summer. I’ve also been discovering some really special finds on Etsy — I love this one so much and truly such a good price.
Khaite Beaded Sandals are going to be the it girl shoe of the summer. They come in a heeled version too and I’m swoooning.
Erly Skincare has blown me away. Not only is this the strictest skincare packaging I have ever seen (like I am keeping it out on my sink because it’s literally art, but I am also addicted to this foamy cleanser.
Comme Si Silk Boxers & Socks are going to be my spring besties. These knee-high ones are so strict and would pair perfectly with a pair of slingbacks (a la
) or with the chunky silver sandals I have linked at #14. And these pink and red striped ones boxers are perfect too duh.Hera Jewelry is my current fav jewelry brand. Such an incredible made-in-NYC small biz with the sickest designs. I have this green cameo one coming in the mail…but couldn’t choose between all the incredible color and bead combos. A little edgier than the classic pearl and bead look and I’m so into it.
Shon Pant is my go-to fav spring pant in my closet. So comfortable, so chic, lightweight and simply perfect! I have the green, but the navy is on sale rn!!!
Reformation Bags, ok fine and one The Row must have. I wear my 90s bag at least once a week and it undoubtably comes on every trip with me. This navy one just restocked — I promise you won’t regret it. Ok back to Reformation, I am such a fan of this little cheetah guy and the burgundy version too. This little red bucket bag is such a cutie too and honestly, I am always reaching for a little red bag to complete my outfit.
Nomasei French Kiss Sandals are the coolest shoes in my closet rn. Just got them in and already dreaming up a million ways to style them. Little frilly socks and a mini skirt, or with baby blue tights (like I wore two nights ago). The opportunities are endless and they are super comfy too!
