Everything I Saved This Week | 034

Recent mental fancies.

For week ending 5/22/26. (Plus a new little section! Make sure to keep scrolling until the end.) Enjoy. As always, thanks for reading. xx

Prada S/S 2026 Menswear Detail

Saved because: I’ve had this saved on my Pinterest for a few weeks now. The colors are what are speaking to me, unsurprisingly in my favorite primary palette. It’s also reminding me of how effective a simple sneaker can be (great pin badget detail too that makes it a smidge punk.)

For a major Adidas head such as myself, why not consider a pair of Keds? Or Jack Purcells even? I’ve been thinking about the latter to ~bring back ~ and perhaps this runway detail is deeming it time. Or, if you really want to splurge, why don’t you get the Prada version, non? Or perhaps the easiest route is just getting a new pair of Vans Authentics, or Superga! The options are simply limitless…but literally…

John Cale for Comme Des Garçons (1988)

Saved because: Well, I don’t think it gets any cooler, does it? Listen to his record with Brian Eno if you haven’t. Also, I still am obsessed with his spoken word turn in “House” with Charli XCX for Wuthering Heights as the old, decrepit version of Heathcliff at the end of the novel. If only the new movie covered that…

Top Tier Sunglasses Lineup (Source)

Saved because: If you know me, I am a sunglasses-horse. I am a clothes horse, but I am really an accessory horse. Sorry, end of horse + related items to wear discourse ends here. I saw this glorious lineup of shades on Likuna Sturua’s IG and is a little reminder to refresh your pairs for summer. I saw someone wearing the Phoebe Philo Cookie sunglasses in person, and I haven’t stopped thinking about them. Sadly, very out of my price range. I love the oversized CELINE pair that’s also taken over the internet, but I’ve settled for this cute Marni pair. I’ve been dying for something with a blue lens, and finally found it. Can’t wait for them to get here.

Chanel F/W 1996 Gold Jacket (Source)

Saved because: The 90s were pure Chanel pomp and circumstance, with no shortage of detail or craft. I’ve been a longtime fan of the giant jewels of the Lagerfeld era, especially when he looked to different Byzantine and Eastern cultures. He always did it with taste, utilizing savoir-faire to make some of the most coveted pieces in fashion history. Seeing this jacket from 1996 made by Maison Lesage with a Gripoix belt up close (well, Instagram up close) this week really stopped me in my tracks. It looks like something royalty should wear, and is a piece that’s been worn by (not sure of how many iterations) everyone from Celine Dion to Gaga, and was recently sold by Tab Vintage to one very lucky customer. Simply beyond.

Photographer Robert Fairer’s Captures of Early Aughts Prada & Miu Miu

Saved because: My algorithm did me quite a service this week when it served me the account of photographer Robert Fairer. His account is a glorious recounting of his work of the years, including archival, never published contact sheets of Prada and Miu Miu shows, plus his enormous Dior archive during the Galliano days. Lots of images of Jessica Stam (who was always my favorite) plus Carmen Kass, young Mariacarla, etc. This particular select is from Miuccia’s A/W 2002 show.

Style Notes from B-Sides Jeans

Saved because: More proof that red and white are not just for Christmas, or Fourth of July! In love with this stunning split hem pair of faded red jeans from B-Sides.

Drum roll, please! A new mini section dedicated to more things in my head (per the name), in my cart, what I’m reading, watching, etc. Maybe we’ll keep it, maybe we won’t? Let’s give it a try:

• Shopping:

  • Is Alexa Chung making a case for the white Camille block heel Repetto?

  • Still desperately on the hunt for a pair of summer sandals I don’t have to pay an arm and a leg for, though I might just swing for these Margaux thongs in woven black leather.

  • Wearing these little pointelle tees from Gap nonstop. KOTN boatneck ones too. Very good. Also snagged these Catbird gold hoops, as I’ve desperately been needing a new pair. Also still wearing my Dorsey Lucien earrings on repeat.

• Watching:

  • Widow’s Bay: Need another ep now! I am a big Stephen King fan and miss the days of Castle Rock. Also a big Yellowjackets fan. Also generally a fan of any show (i.e. Stranger Things) that nods to beloved film and genre archetypes in a new, creative way. Well, at least ST did that in the beginning. Anyway, Matthew Rhys is a wonderful lead, and completely different from his last project which I also literally finished, The Beast In Me. Widow’s Bay combines a bunch of things into one darkly comedic series rooted in the Puritanical east coast that IMO is going by way too quickly. You know I’m in those Reddit threads reading theories.

  • Signé Chanel by Loic Prigent: Literally from 2004 and beyond grainy on YouTube, I’ve been watching the episodes of this documentary in pieces. It chronicles Karl’s FW 2004 couture collection, where he made every look have two looks within it. Lagerfeld was always good at thinking about how women actually dress and that is why I appreciate him. I like to think Blazy is doing well in that department too. I have hazy memories of watching this in high school when I was just finding my love for fashion and searching for every documentary on that planet that was available. I still highly recommend.

  • Loved Colbert’s performance with David Byrne to close out The Late Show. Real ones!!!

  • And Hacks OFC!!! I don’t want it to ever end.

• Reading: Much like literally everyone else, I too am reading Famesick. I’ve got about 100 pages left. What are your thoughts??? I have many. Next on my list is Angel Down, a sort of sci-fi horror about a fallen angel being the solution to WWI…sounds interesting..and is also the title of a very good Lady Gaga song (lol). I also purchased I Used to Be Charming by Eve Babitz, on recommendation from my best friend Justine <3. Also dying to read The Women are Not Fine.

Until next time!!
