My absolute favorite part of Sunday is getting to sit down with my coffee and read your newsletter, Hillary, and a list of items I actually want to get *myself* as a little treat for Valentine’s Day? Absolute perfection!
I would love to buy some of the things you suggest, but at this point, as a loyal and distressed Canadian, I will be buying my lingerie, clothes, perfumes, skincare, etc. from brands that are not American. Please consider profiling Canadian companies in a show of solidarity! Canadians do not hate Americans but we are struggling to understand the choices your leadership is making...
I absolutely hear you on this! I'm loving Canada's energy in this and standing up to the bully in the White House. Hopefully we see more of this from our own elected representatives. 🫠
THANK YOU! I wrote with real trepidation on this but your quick and wholehearted response has made me a fan forever. Keep up the great writing and reporting! And yes, we must somehow convince other Americans that this is a really bizarre situation.
With all due respect, it's a fascist oligarchy that needs to be stopped. And he's picking weird, pointless fights with our closest friends & allies. It's horrific!
I am OBSESSED with ELSE lingerie!!! I happened upon the store in Santa Monica this past September and had the BEST experience!!! They made shopping for lingerie so fun and easy. I LOVE their lingerie. They fit me so well, are comfortable, and sooo pretty. I even got two of their swimsuits and cover ups and love those as well!!!
My favourite part of Monday morning in Australia is waking up to find your Sunday post in my inbox. I always love them and this one is especially delicious. Definitely giving me the shoppies. I feel the same about V Day. Not such a big thing down under (cards for school friends??) but still icky enough.
Chiming in with love for the Grande Fanny. So many people ask me about it whenever I have mine on -- and as you said, it's deceptively spacious. Amazing for travel, esp with the versatility - and I turn the zipper toward me if I want extra security.
I really like that bag. But the price is a little steep for me. On the other hand it is pretty perfect and if it’s made well I would carry it for years!
FWIW I think if you sign up for email on the Clare V site you get a 20% code...also they are on Shopbop which sometimes has offers...and I do find them to be made really well
Absolutely love love my grande fanny and really anything ClareV. Their customer service is amazing as well. Of course I added the book to my cart because you have the best recommendations!
I have been trying!!! I asked for my EOY story about the things I don't regret and didn't hear back. Will keep asking, respectfully. One thing that's cool: They've been in business for 11 years and haven't raised money. Female founders, bootstrapped the whole way. I have a lot of respect for what they've done. And they do an annual sale, but that seems to be about it.
I love those whipped shirts and bought two after you recommended! I really want the pants but is a stretch for me with only wearing them at home. I get it, thanks for trying!
yes I absolutely hear this which is why I wanted to be straightforward about it in the text! Usually I prefer pieces that can do double or triple duty, but still included the pants because they are a lovely little luxury in these annoying times.
Two years ago I asked my husband for the Vyrao High Five pack for my stocking - a direct recommendation from your newsletter. I had not worn perfume in years while having my boys (I hated my scent being transferred to them as little babies and just stopped wearing perfume completely). I was trying to find a new scent that was subtle and not what everyone I know wears (hello Le Labo Santal). The pack still lasts me! And I became entranced with Magnetic 70, which is now my signature scent. I wear Georgette on occasion too (!) and also loved Witchy Woo. The brand is so incredible and I love their scents so much. Such a great recommendation!

“You know what’s sexy to me? Competence”

Ofc my pleasure!

Well this delights me so much!!! I am a huge lover of all things Australia, so thank you for making my day! And shoppies FTW!
Check out Rare Beauty’s concealer. Light, bright and not at all cake-y or crease-y. My new fav.
Thank you friend!
Thank YOU for the disct code! x
Loved this one. Your hanni link sent me down the rabbit hole and I may need to buy the whole starter set of products! Looks so good!
I have yet to not adore a Hanni product. I think what they're doing is quite smart!
Omg, Hardtail!!! The obsession was real! Great recs, as always!
Such a thing!!!
Forever adore Amanda Seyfried getting a 'minge' tattoo because she thought it was so funny 🇬🇧
It's the best. It's always made me laugh too.
That chart from Crown Affair is so helpful—I wish more haircare brands would do that! This makes me want to try their products even more ❤️
I agree!!!!

I wish I had been clued into the sauce that is Grande Fanny earlier but better late than never!!! God she's such a good, versatile bag.

Oh my gosh you're gonna love the book! It's so thoughtful and funny and heartfelt and sexy too!
We need a Negative promo code!
