I woke up this morning to my favorite Sunday read (your newsletter) and the JCrew early Black Friday sale promo. Is there anything already on your list from that sale?

Thank you for the recs! If you like the Monika Blunder cleansing balm you might also enjoy True Botanicals' version. It has a ginger turmeric scent which feels seasonally appropriate. I picked it up at Credo and have been enjoying! https://truebotanicals.com/products/natural-cleansing-balm

I am deeeeeply into it. One of their best products yet. I still use the highlighter more, but this is close.

I put that in as kind of a joke? And also because I like seeing the most expensive things in a sale. But wow.

Isn’t that crazy? I thought it was very funny and also proves your point of what a good price point it was. And also, good for the people who can afford it for not sleeping on this deal!

Ok hi, I’m here looking for a recommendation! I am looking for a bag for my partner to carry!! He’s never carried a bag before but generally brings enough things including a water bottle that make me think it’s time. Got any recs that don’t feel excessive, stay on the masculine side, whatever material idc??

Hi there 👋🏻 always love your recs and since I’m taking a much needed social media break (over 6 weeks strong!) substack is my favorite spot now. So, any good suggestions for a party shoe that can go from day to night? As in, I have a post work holiday party and just want to zuzsh up with accessories and makeup...or party shoes that I can also wear for a date night. (Also, I love a good flat-I know you are a fancy heel girl, but much appreciated!)

My early onset arthritis makes heels a no go. Imho Boden and Kate spade have the prettiest dressy flats with jcrew and Ann Taylor also good sources to check out.

Hi! Hillary - I always love your recommendations and feel like this question is something that I’ve seen you wear, so: do you have suggestions for what to pair with a pleated midi skirt? I recently purchased one that I love but have been indecisive about the best silhouette for the top. The first time I wore it, I paired with a tight turtleneck, which was fine but sort of felt obvious? Do you have suggestions for some interesting ways to play with shape with a skirt that already has some shape? Or do I just let the skirt be the wide portion and balance with a tighter top?
