This month, I’m embracing the hot weather with a few new additions. First, I visited the Araks shop while in NY this past week and left with a black lace tank that screams “sexy summer.” I plan on pairing it with everything from straight-leg denim to a pair of knit capris and, of course, vintage skirts—including a black Barbara Bui number also procured on my trip—for the remainder of summer.
I might earn a small commission if you make a purchase through one of the links in this newsletter.

Maison Margiela Tabi slingbacks
Vintage Chanel PVC tote
Where I’d wear it: Now that I’ve crossed the threshold of breaking in the tabis, they are my current everyday shoe. I’d wear this to the grocery store, on a matcha run, or any other summer daytime outing.

MNZ Olympia wedge via TRR: Again, an item that is reliably found on resale sites—some favorites include this pair in yellow (US 6.5), patent leather tan (US 7.5), and dark brown (US 8.5).
Vintage 90s Banana Republic bag via eBay
Where I’d wear it: The bottom half of this outfit is all I wore from 2016-2019, so this feels very nostalgic for me. I’d wear this to grab drinks with friends.

Vintage Prada flower heels via TRR
GAP cotton big shirt
Find Kapoor patti bag
Where I’d wear it: A variation on outfit 1 and another good summer date look. I plan on wearing this to meet a friend for dinner later this month.

Vintage Manolo Blahnik tan crocodile leather slides via TRR: Here is my exact pair on Vestiaire Collective and a pink version on TRR. I also love these silver metallic slides and this black patent leather pair. One thing about Manolo Blahnik, he’s going to make a sexy kitten heel slide.
Vintage Chanel PVC tote
Where I’d wear it: To a meeting, lunch, or simply to run some errands.
Finally, I’m including an honorable mention—an outfit I can’t stop wearing for every work event I have this summer—along with the Note on my phone where I keep a running tab of vintage shops to check out anytime I’m in New York. They include personal favorites and a few additions from the lovely owner of Heart and Lou’s. It’s obviously not a definitive list, what am I missing?
