The collars are mandarin and the pockets are plentiful and the buttons are made of ANTLER. Antler! Do not get the version of this blazer with brass buttons. Itās equally traditional, so look closely before you buy. Search terms you can use for Ebay or Etsy or your Euro vintage site of choice are: āTyrolean,ā āTracht,ā and āJankerāāplus āmens jacket.ā Only buy the male version of this blazer most especially if you are a woman. The whole look here is that of having your date drape his tuxedo jacket around your shoulders at the end of a long, black-tie gala. Except instead of moonlight and champagne flutes itās lunchtime in the alps and your boyfriendās speaking German. You canāt understand a word heās saying to anyone at this mountainside boar hunt, but you will never forget the earnest look in one Austrian aristocratās eyes as speared a tiny sausage with a toothpick and said: āVhen you vear zhis jacket, you must always zhink about zhe summer.ā Now listen. These blazers are wool. Alpine summer is brisk. I wear mine even year roundāperhaps even especially during the winter over holiday-party dresses because the color scheme of Austrian black tie is just so goddamn elvin and Christmassy. But I always think, for an instant, of the summer when I put one of these special jackets on. And now I hope you do, too.

Tag says Eddie Bauer and I think it's inspired by their Yukon Jacket? I can't take credit for this find. Friends and I were visiting a vintage shop in Austin. I was not looking for another jacket. But everyone tried this on and took it off in disappointment. So I tried it just to see. Fit like a glove. Best clothing purchase of the year.
no, i don't know how to pose for photos

Ever heard of it?! You need it more than you think you do! Start with spools of 1.5 inch ādouble-facedā satin (Iāve linked my favorite Amazon brand) in the specific colors of: black, crimson, turquoise, goldenrod/marigold, and sort of a icy, slate-gray, periwinkle blue. A deep, wine-red burgundy in .5 inch velvet and an Easter-y, baby pink (or blue or yellow or lilac!) in .25 inch satin will also come in surprisingly handy. Use for beautifying hairstyles, presents, and bouquets of all kinds. Giving someone a single flower is made a thousand times fancier just by tying a bow on it.

When I finally got on antidepressants and stopped self-medicating my depression with an life-consuming addiction to amphetamines, I bought, like, 200 bottles of perfume. It wasnāt that before I got on proper medication, I couldnāt smell. It was just that when I was in the thick my depression, smelling something lovely just didnāt bring me any joy. It was too slight a pleasureālike listening to rain or baking cakesāto affect me. The only way I was able to afford 200 bottles of perfume was Dossier. They make dupes of iconic scents at price points of $29, $39 and $49. Their candles are great, too! My favorites are the Diptyque Do Son dupe, the Baccarat Rouge 540 dupe, the Love, Donāt Be Shy dupe (itās Rihannaās signature scent!) and, since I live in Florida now, I also love the Le Labo Santal 33 dupe because people chase me down the street to ask me what it is. Itās so sweet and heartwarming watching Floridians smell Santal 33 for the first time. But obviously I wouldnāt be caught dead wearing that perfume back in New York. Being seen as an offbeat and eccentric weird is too essential my fragile sense of self.

Iām saving about $2,000 a year on buying my press-on nails from Etsy instead of getting them professionally done anymore. Let that number sink in. And Iām having so much more fun this way, too! Some women have knitting. Others scrapbook. The hobby that enriches my silly little life with arts and crafts is gluing the most beautifully painted bits of plastic onto my fingertips. Iād suggest you buy two sets in the same sizes so that if one nail falls off, you can replace it. Two sets of the same design will create a manicure that lasts just under a monthāI shit you fucking not. And hereās the kicker! After you decide to take them off you can still use them again someday. To sand off the dried glue from previously worn nail sets, youāll need this $10 electric nail file from Amazon. I also like to organize my nail sets in this clear, $8 bead organizer, also from Amazon, so get that, too. To find great nail sets just type into the search bar on Etsy āpress on nailsā¦ā and then whatever else youāre looking for. āPress on nails y2k.ā āPress on nails French tip.ā āPress on nails floralā¦ā Etc.
