My best chain belts are vintage - try Imparfaite (they sometimes have the heart ones which feel quite vintage ysl) and vestiaire etc for real vintage ysl!

Love this thank you!! Wondering about Leset, though--I recently bought two pointelle long sleeve ti-shirts because of this newsletter, but honestly I found them extremely underwhelming for how expensive they were. It bummed me out. I'm now drawn to the spring trousers, but worried I'd find the same thing. I guess the question is: is it really worth buying expensive basics? Or is it better to find similar, less expensive basics and put one's funds (assuming most people have "normal" budgets) into more exceptional, special pieces??

I love treating certain things as "Serendipity Shopping" (ironically planned) -- where you plan not to search for it online but rather leave it intentionally open and let it find you, maybe on a trip, a randomly discovered antiques shop with a few belts and bags, etc ... The charm belt seems like a perfect Serendipity Shopping item. Also I am obsessed with oranges and raisins in my salads, which also contain chili olive oil Tonnino tuna.

Been on the hunt for a good leather jacket -- like for weeks-- and this morning your newsletter hit my inbox! Perfection.

I wish you'd do a post on how you put these magical newsletters together. They're a work of art.

For legging layering skirts, I saw this sheer one at the Dries store the other day and fell in love: https://www.modaoperandi.com/women/p/dries-van-noten/241-010841-8105/623758

wow! what a great combo of ideas.

i am so feeling that moschino cowboy hat/ ruffle look and scanning my closet for some cool way to recreate it. i also love the moschino CIAO brooch that echoes the 90s CIAO belts (another rabbit hole unlocked).

i recently downloaded from etsy an amazing vintage knitting pattern that may plunge me headfirst into my swim cap era. thanks for all the inspo!
