I don’t love this holiday. My dad (who was a gorgeous person) is dead. My husband is also a gorgeous person and dad. I’ll be celebrating both of them today. I hope you do you in your own way.
Yes, I had a baby. Yes, he is amazing. No, I do not sleep… I’m overwhelmed by the love and support our friends and family have outpoured in these last weeks. Please bear with me and my use of ellipses for the next few letters…. We’re so lucky to have a group of guest editors for ROTV this month. Shout out to David Lê and his gorgeous chair edit last week.
For now, the shoppies hormone is still with us. Turns out surfing the web for useless treasure happens to be the perfect activity for someone trying to tune out the state of the world while breastfeeding a tiny person at odd hours of the night.
This week we’re in for a treat with my good old pal the artist and florist Sophie Stone. This gal has one of the most revered eyes and she’s a professional gleaner to boot. She can shop you under the table ladies and gents. You can read more about her and her practice in this month’s AD.
In 2009 Sophie and I made a collection together called 2day, where we gave ourselves 2 days to make it. All things considered, the collection slapped… I can’t find pictures, but it involved tie dyed nylons that looked like bruises, braided plastic necklaces and big boxy dresses made out of curtain fabrics.
For this reason, I made a WINDOW shoppe for you all. I hope you enjoy.
Leaving Sophie to the treasure sharing and I hope you all have a beautiful week.
Are anklets to ankles what tassels are to doorknobs?
Tassels are the first thing I started collecting as a child, and I haven’t stopped.
Anklets are sexy, and it’s summer. Whether a keepsake or a souvenir, what's not to love?!

…now loading… the WINDOW SHOPPE.
Don't let the title of this shop deceive you. Some of these are simply raw ass APOCs (a piece of cloth, Issey’s terminology, not my own.) I've been known to paperclip some shattered silk quilts to a window. More recently, I got custom roman blackout shades in my bedroom and feel superhuman.
