Hello Schmattaworld!
Greetings from bed where I’ve been put out by a god-awful stomach bug. I’m on the mend and thankful it happened before Saturday, which is when I depart for Salone del Mobile aka the biggest design festival of the year. FYI, likely no letter next week as I’ll be in the thick of it, but you can count on a rundown of my experience the following week. I’ve never been to Salone, so I’ll be telling the tale as an outsider. You can read about my previous adventures in Design Industryland here:
P.S.: Don’t forget that this month’s giveaway is open to all subscribers. Like and comment to enter!
Ahead, what I’m packing for my trip. Feel free to share your favorite travel things in the comments.
4 nights in Milan…lezzzgooooo!
Because I am someone who cares about what everyone else thinks of me, the first thing I realized after getting invited to Milan is that I wanted to look cool. Sorry if that’s lame, but whatever—I just want to look really, really cool!
Clothes & Accessories:
I acquired a bunch of new stuff from my favorite “cool mom” label, Roucha. Many many thanks to my pal, Jill Wenger, for straight up sending me a care package from heaven. I genuinely recommend Roucha for some very specific reasons—many of the jeans feature adjustable drawstrings, and are made of the softest denim I’ve ever felt; the pieces have an architectural edge without feeling too austere; and Roucha also has a points system to get free stuff! Here’s my haul:
The Oko coat, a voluminous trench that I accessorized with the Postmodern pin. And it really is all about the pin.
For pants, I got two pairs of jeans: Duchamp Stud Denim and Dessau Vintage Denim.
The Sota shirt, an oversized short sleeve button up.
The Toyen shirt, which I plan to wear as a light jacket option.
The Keaton sweater, which can be worn buttoned up, or open over a tank top.
The Gauguin sunglasses because obviously.
For bags:
