Letter #07 - Someone stop the time, June is going way too fast
& updated on having a substack
Dear all,
I don’t have much to impart with you this week, so I will share a quick update on the substack community here: we are almost 400 (and growing) and it just makes my heart warm, to know that I am not completely writing this all into the internet void. Compared to instagram, this is a “slow burn” platform, which brings to mind this experiment they did with kids and candy, that if they waited to eat the candy, they would get more candy, to test their reward systems. And Substack is definitely a place that if you wait a little, you get more candy (or so I hope lol).
June is almost over & summer is in full spring (pun intended he he), it passed way too fast, but isn’t this exactly why we love summers so much? Longest days of the year, but always feels the quickest that go away. I encourage you all to stop for a second, take a deep breath, and slow down time for just a moment and enjoy the start of the summer.
Until next time,
IB
This week’s go-to outfit is an example on how to look effortless without trying too hard. The branded stuff can easily be replaced by a good quality ballerina or leather bag - as long as the quality is good, the look will still work.
Bonus - swipe the Jeans for a more solid black flared trouser, and make the outfit office friendly.
CLOSED Double-faced peacoat on sale [link] - I own a similar coat, and I must say it is very versatile and I can mix and match it with most of my closet - pure definition of “core” closet.
GANNI White Shirt on sale [link] - who doesn’t like a little white shirt, and in addition to that, with a little flared collar. Currently, this beauty is on the way to me, considering the sale, this is an excellent price vs quality item. Alternative [link]
Agolde Jeans [link] I own a similar model from Agolde and can only vouch for their quality - not too rough, comfy enough even when you sit - which is not something I can say about all the jeans out there
Valentino Shoes - I saw them and fell in love, unfortunately I own very similar ones, so unfortunately our love will be a tragic tale of a forbidden love
Bag - Old [read classic and timeless] Bottega Veneta - on my wish list
Watch - Vintage Cartier
