What you look like during your work day has a lot to do with what your workday looks like.

Digital nomads, creatives, & those of us who work from home have the option of embracing fashionable lounge looks. Stuff you can play around in the jungle & hop on a Zoom call in.

Inspired by this vintage BCBG top, pants purchased locally in Ecuador, a gifted quartz, & shoes sourced in Oaxaca (which I wore for breakfast with friends, a canal water check, morning page writing, podcast listening, cleaning, chili oil making, & a never ending journey of editing) - I bring you a look that’s far from J. Crew & blazers.

All respect to Jenna Lyons. ❤️‍🔥

Easter dress? Yes.

... & hats & pumps & skirts too. Inspired by a 90’s vibe.

Can you see the flowers?

These jeans are from Peru. I think I pull them off, but an ex once tried them on & wow. Like a different pair of pants.

The top is also too big. So I guess what I’m trying to say is that it’s all in the styling.

WWJD | What would Joan do?

She’d escape to a lowkey spot in Latin America to write prose so good that she’d end up garnering fans who never even read her work.

No reading shame here though. Just a continuation of curated lifestyle goods inspired by the recent Joan Didion estate sale at Hudson’s Stair Galleries. (& a denim selection that fits like the perfect, slightly grunge, boot cut jeans).

Featuring words from literature & private letters - Cynthia Grow’s works capture experience & emotion through discards, ephemeral & revised materials.

When I discovered Philosphers of the Smoking Room, a series exhibited at The Other Art Fair Brooklyn (Saatchi’s art fair), I knew that this was work & a mind I wanted to engage further.

We start here.

It’s the second of my Joan Didion estate sale posts, inspired by the writer’s personal home decor & writing items (one and the same in some ways) recently auctioned by STAIR.

This time around you can shop her infamous tortoise shell Céline shades, tools for literal gas lighting (or just like, living room ambiance creation), a Richard Serra catalogue inspired by “Malcolm X” a painting of Serra’s collected by Didion), floral Victorian chairs that make a bedroom a space, & more perfect objects to make home look & feel like a writer’s retreat or vacation.

Inspired by An American Icon: the Collection of Joan Didion (pt. 1)

Joan Didion loved Tulum, & her Celine sunglasses, & good times with good people.

Months ago I visited the land she loved. I discovered independent brands like Umbral. I ate, & danced, & felt, & wrote.

Months later, eager estate-sale goers purchased an array of Didion's personal items at STAIR Galleries. Auctioned to benefit the funding of girls’ scholarships. Some perhaps sourced in the city housed in the state the writer would name her daughter after & make (one of) her homes in.

The items below are inspired by STAIR’s listings of items such as
carved mahogany ladderback armchairs, an unattributed painting titled Persian School: Woman With a Fan, decanters, a simple Baccarat ice bucket, assorted colored glass articles, & Robert Grahm’s ‘moca torso’ sculpture.

Discovered at Saatchi’s The Other Art Fair, Bailey Consta’s works of watercolor on paper are a deeply saturated, varied landscape of figurative paintings, abstractions that are sometimes landscapes, & the occasional photograph.

There is a sense of cohesion in the variety. A signature aesthetic present in these works that are, for the artist, a way of healing self & land.

Excellent additions to existing collections as well as perfect gifts for him, her, & you, the Saatchi sourced works featured here, including ‘transport’, pictured as the cover photo, are personal favorites.

Works that you can purchase directly from the artist, & that stand out to me as truly evocative - include Two Souls at Sunset, Wanderer, Becoming More Like the Land, Oceanic Lift, & Vague.

Consta’s pieces are viewable at galleries in both NYC & Pakistan. Private collectors live in places like Berlin, Albuquerque, Colorado, & maybe sometime soon,

your city.

Christy Powers’ portraiture stood out at my last visit to the Other Art Fair in Brooklyn - which I approximate happened in 2021.

Her works are impressionist, documentarian, & contemporary. They echo the inspiration of a NY born artist & are an extension of a practice honed at Sarah Lawrence & the College of Fine Arts at the University of New South Whales - exhibited in spaces including the Queen Victoria Museum, Kudos Gallery, & the Bronx Museum.

The selection of one of a kind works below, created with acrylic, ink, & gauche on wood mounted Yupo paper, were painted during the earliest days of the pandemic for the Artist Support Pledge.

They are “Icon” paintings. & I too have felt inspired by the portrayed figures.

“I am searching for a good pair of pants.

I like comfortable pants and clothes I can work in...

It’s a fit, it’s a certain kind of feeling, and if they’re not right, which they never are, it’s a sadness. You know, it interrupts the the flow of happiness.” - David Lynch, according to a Twitter post.

Stabilization of physiological processes & promotion of homeostasis are the proposed benefits of adaptogens - the herbal complex found in various mushrooms that is a current fascination in health, beauty, & wellness spaces (according to the Annual Review of Pharmacology.)

While this trend is running concurrently with renewed interest & study of psychedelic plant medicines including psilocybin - it is important to differentiate the benefits & uses of each type of mushroom instead of trying to capitalize on a craze. An important reason being - these powerful herbs work & approached with knowledge & respect for how they work together with our bodies we can use them to get closer to a healthier wholer self.

I’ve been fortunate enough to meet people in my travels who are doing things with mushrooms, but if that hasn’t been your experience, checking out reputable brands like Moon Juice for everything from herbal sleep aids to collagen could be the way to go.

What does fall look like?

After browsing abstract pieces from the Saatchi collection, a witchy new release from Helmut Lang, vintage candle holders, sculpture, & stunning sustainable jewelry from Missoma (the Savi Ridge ring accented with tiger’s eye & Savi Ridge necklace with moonstone are favorites for both aesthetic & elemental reasons) - fall looks natural & flowing, Taurean, luxurious, just, & abundantly stylish...

Fall/Winter Vacation Looks

I was just thinking...

#LTKtravel #LTKSeasonal #LTKstyletip

I’ve started to bring in handmade crystal jewelry from Mexico to the US to sell, & while I’m starting with only a couple of pieces, I’ve found vintage jewelry that feels both in line with my styling & buying aesthetic, as well as the whole of my travel induced inspiration.

From the crafting of these pieces to the materials like opal & shell that are incorporated, they’re perfect additions to any accessory collection.

In my travels, I met a couple of amazing friends who worked together to make this caftan, one of my favorite things.

While this item is not available online, I’ve picked a couple of similar caftans currently available from SSENSE that I hope you’ll love.

INSPIRED BY THE INDEPENDENTS

Mia Femme, a soon to launch independent boutique, is very much on my radar after sharing this image of a beautiful soft yellow belted maxi.

The boutique won’t be fully shopable until later this month, so I’ve curated belted dresses & wrap dresses that give me similar “this is my summer style” vibes.

Not long ago, I discovered an amazing Italian swimwear designer in Mexico. The cut, fit, & fabrics are phenomenal.

You can & should find her on IG (marcee_sw), but if you aren’t local to the select boutiques & surf shops that carry her line, the next best thing just might be these nude bikinis from Monday Swim.
