Found & Felt Vol. 2
Introducing a new series of finds—a round-up of both vintage and new—that have caught my eye and sparked my thinking lately. This is an evolution of the much-loved weekly vintage unboxings I used to do for my shop.
When I first started this Substack, I experimented with a few vintage edits, but something felt off. So I paused.
What became clear is that in both the new and vintage worlds, I’m drawn to collecting things in the same way. I don’t curate for a particular vibe. I stop when something catches my eye and feels practical for my taste, lifestyle, and closet.
A little of this and a little of that—piece by piece—a point of view emerges and evolves.
Here’s to a clearer intention. One that’s feeling really good to share with you!
Cable sweaters are classic, but they’re often so bulky they swallow me. I love the shorter proportions of this one—and especially the idea of a red cable. You don’t see that very often.
This reminded me of a blue mohair sweater I have from a few years ago that always gets compliments. This shade of blue is my favorite for January, especially with black.
Secondhand La Ligne Striped Sweater
I’ve been on the hunt for colorful stripes and love this older La Ligne one from TRR. I’m also drawn to this slouchy style and this cardigan. Having a moment for pastels paired with contrast too.
I’ve been meaning to try this iconic sweater and noticed they launched a new navy and white version. There’s something so clean, refreshing, and timeless about nautical stripes this time of year with dark denim.
I can confirm this one is a winner. I love the gold zipper and front pockets (perfect for holding my phone while cruising around the city). Lightweight with a nice, swingy fit. I went with my normal size small.
The rose color is what stopped me here. But the style feels modern, relaxed, and easy to wear.
I’ve learned that great basics are the foundation of easy outfitting. After realizing how much I love chocolate brown in every category, I finally pulled the trigger on this belt. The width and classic gold buckle feel just right. This one would be great if you’re wanting a little glam.
Another recent win. These are on major sale and I’m excited to wear them with red, dark denim, cream, and grey. I went with the 26 short and they are TTS. I can say, this twill pair fits great too.
On my splurge list this year: a colorful Hermès cashmere scarf, I love how the black grounds this vibrant print and really makes it pop. Speaking of Hermès, this silk scarf from 2008 is also alive and well in my brain.
Brooches are having a moment, and personally I’m a bit exhausted by them but the sculptural shape of this YSL piece is really chic.
I always keep an eye on colored gems. I love the oval rubies and diamonds in this stacked ring—substantial enough to wear on its own every day.
A great stacking style to add interest to statement gold rings. Someday I’d love a colorful stone eternity band.
If you want more eye candy, I updated my recent vintage and new finds on Shopmy.
