SUNDAY BITES #48

A newsletter that started with one article, turned into seventeen tabs, and somehow ended with me shopping for vintage bags under $100 at 1am

Writing this from bed at 1am, fully aware that I have to be up in five hours.

I had started the newsletter earlier and, despite what my last essay said about quitting, well... I’m clearly still a work in progress. Sue me.

Mostly, though, I had to finish it because I got way too excited about the shopping…

THINGS YOU SHOULD READ THIS WEEK

• THE MOTHERHOOD INDEX BY PEANUT: equal parts validating, infuriating, and important.

• MELINDA FRENCH GATES: WOMEN, WE DESERVE BETTER THAN THIS: a sharp reminder that women are still expected to quietly endure health issues that would never be tolerated if they affected half the population

• HOW MILK TEETH BECAME A BAGGY, COLORFUL TODDLER UNIFORM: my #1 kids stop MILKTEETH its getting all the flowers it deserves on THE CUT this week, and yours truly got to yap about why I think beige clothes are self serving for the parents.

2 COLLABS I AM LOVING

Courtney x Reformation. It honestly is THAT good, and she is THAT girl. I somehow ended up with the jeans, the top, the bag... and now I’m trying to convince myself I don’t also need this set.

Social Proof I even went to the store to try things on.

Eckhaus Latta x Mango. Currently lusting over the bathing suit, the bag, this dress & foiled jeans.
